MSCI Decides Not to Remove DAT from Key Market Index, Eliminating FUD of Forced Crypto Market Sell-offs

This Tuesday, Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) released a report indicating that the company has decided not to remove Digital Asset Finance Company (DAT) from its key market indices.

This decision not only avoids the previously market-concerned potential forced sell-off pressure of up to $15 billion in passive funds, but also provides critical policy certainty for the cryptocurrency market and related listed companies.

As early as October last year, MSCI initiated consultations and discussions with investors regarding whether to remove DAT from the key market indices.

It is noteworthy that more than 50% of the total assets of major DAT companies (such as Strategy) in the key market indices are in cryptocurrencies.

According to macroeconomists, if DAT companies (such as Strategy) are removed from MSCI indices, it would force funds tracking these indices to sell related company stocks, potentially resulting in a capital outflow of up to $15 billion.

Market analysis suggests that MSCI’s decision not only removes a major uncertainty factor but also ensures that DAT companies will continue to receive large passive fund inflows. At the same time, it ends market concerns about being forced to sell large Bitcoin holdings.

In summary, MSCI’s decision not to remove DAT companies not only alleviates market fears of potential forced sell-offs of hundreds of millions of dollars in passive funds but also guarantees continued large passive fund inflows for DAT companies.

Although this positive development has not immediately reflected in Bitcoin prices, indicating that market short-term focus remains on technical resistance levels, this decision provides important policy support for the cryptocurrency market and contributes to the industry’s long-term stable development.
