Hyperliquid Enters Nasdaq CME Crypto Index Alongside Bitcoin and XRP
The cryptocurrency market has reached an important milestone as Hyperliquid (HYPE) joins the regulated Nasdaq CME Crypto Index alongside Bitcoin, XRP, and other leading digital assets. The changes took effect on September 1 following a scheduled quarterly rebalancing, according to the official supplement to the prospectus of the Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF (NCIQ) filed with the SEC.
Hyperliquid debuted in the index with a 3.36% weighting, coming close to Solana's 3.79% and surpassing all other participants. Bitcoin retains the largest share at 74.36%, followed by Ethereum at 11.88%. XRP remains the third-largest asset with a 5.21% share.
The inclusion of Hyperliquid in the Nasdaq CME index was driven by its compliance with the exchange's requirements for market capitalization, liquidity, and secure custody standards. This step is supported by developed infrastructure in the U.S. market. The net asset value of spot HYPE ETFs reached $461.54 million as of September 1, equivalent to 2.45% of the coin's market capitalization.
The fact that Hyperliquid has joined the Nasdaq CME index alongside other industry leaders changes the asset's distribution, buying the diversified Hashdex fund now automatically includes exposure to HYPE.
