Kaiko Multi-Asset Indices Rulebook

Kaiko Indices provides institutional-grade benchmarks under the EU BMR and IOSCO frameworks. Indices are organized into four families:

  • Blue-Chip (e.g., Top 5/10/15 by size and liquidity)
  • Market (e.g, Large/Mid/Small Cap segments)
  • Sector (e.g., DeFi, Layer 2, Meme)
  • Thematic (e.g, AI, Tokenization).

Data sources include:

  • Kaiko Reference Rates (executed trades from centralized exchanges)
  • Proprietary supply metrics (total and circulating supply).

Asset eligibility follows a two-tier vetting process that excludes stablecoins, tokenized assets, and low-liquidity assets.

Index construction uses a dual weighting scheme (50% by market cap + 50% by liquidity), with individual caps of 30%. The Laspeyres formula calculates index values. Quarterly rebalancing applies buffer rules (e.g., 80/120 rules for Blue-Chip indices) to reduce turnover.

Governance is managed by an Index Administration Committee, with provisions for extraordinary reviews due to fraud or volume loss. Publication occurs in real-time and as daily fixings (London, Singapore, New York).
