Wall Street is officially stepping deeper into crypto. Nasdaq and CME Group have joined forces to merge their digital asset benchmarks into a single powerhouse: the Nasdaq-CME Crypto Index. This isn’t just another index-it’s a signal. Traditional finance is streamlining how it tracks crypto, and the implications could be massive. The new benchmark covers six of the most watched assets in the market: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Chainlink, Cardano, and Avalanche. By unifying these under one standardized index, Nasdaq and CME are making crypto easier to measure, compare, and potentially integrate into institutional products. Translation? Cleaner data, stronger credibility, and a smoother on-ramp for big money watching from the sidelines. This move tightens the bridge between TradFi and crypto-and that bridge is getting crowded fast. Is this the moment institutions finally go all-in, or just the calm before a bigger wave? Watch this space closely.
