- In a joint announcement, MVIS and CryptoCompare said the two perpetual futures products, dubbed “MVIS CryptoCompare Digital Assets 10 Index” and “MVIS CryptoCompare Digital Assets 25 Index,” are market cap-weighted indices that track the performance of the 10 and 25 most liquid digital assets.
- A perpetual contract is a type of futures contract but without an expiry date. The two products will trade under the tickers “MVDA10” and “MVDA25.” They will use CryptoCompare’s market data and give investors exposure to digital assets.
- “This is one small step towards bridging the gap between crypto and traditional finance. Hopefully, there will be many more to come,” Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of FTX said, in the announcement.
- The MVDA10 and MVDA25 products will be calculated in U.S. dollars as a price index and be reviewed monthly.

Robinhood misses Q4 revenue estimates as fourth-quarter results dinged by crypto slump
Crypto revenue fell 38% year over year to $221M, even as the company expanded token listings and crypto features across its platform.
What to know:
- Robinhood’s fourth quarter earnings per share of $0.66 topped estimates for $0.63, but revenue of $1.28 billion fell shy of forecasts for $1.33 billion.
- The crypto slump paid a large part in the miss, with crypto revenue falling 38% from a year earlier to $221 million.
- Robinhood’s results mirror broader crypto-market weakness, which is also expected to weigh on rival Coinbase (COIN), and HOOD shares fell about 7% in post-market trading after the earnings release.
