S&P and Kaiko Unite Crypto Benchmarks in Record-Breaking Index Suite

S&P Dow Jones Indices and Kaiko have merged their digital asset benchmarks into one institutional platform, creating the S&P Kaiko Digital Asset Indices suite with over 4,000 rates and indices at launch.

The partnership combines S&P DJI's benchmark administration and global licensing network with Kaiko's infrastructure for collecting and calculating data across 24/7 crypto markets.

Kaiko will provide the crypto-native data layer, including data sourcing, index calculation, and methodology support using its systems connected to over 150 exchanges. In contrast, S&P DJI will handle benchmark administration, licensing, and global distribution, integrating those functions with the Kaiko-powered platform.

The new suite combines two existing product sets rather than starting from scratch, bringing together Kaiko's digital asset reference rates and multi-asset indices with S&P DJI's existing cryptocurrency benchmarks and rebranding them under the S&P Kaiko name.
