The indexes, developed with Digital Asset Research, will monitor data from hundreds of exchanges to "define the investable universe," FTSE Russell said Tuesday. The firm unveiled a plan to roll out a crypto index in December, when it announced the development of one covering 43 digital assets.

FTSE Russell is a London Stock Exchange Group subsidiary. Its other indexes include the Russell 2000.
