Today we're excited to announce that our latest offerings, OpenDelta Index Products, will be launching in partnership with GMCI, the leading crypto index methodology provider.
Simplifying Crypto Exposure
OpenDelta Index Products are an upcoming set of on-chain tokenized asset portfolios that allow users to simply and easily gain one-click exposure to broad-market, sector, and ecosystem indices. Our indices abstract away all the complexity of managing a crypto portfolio, while remaining liquid, tradeable, and composable across Solana's ecosystem.
The crypto industry has reached a point of parabolic growth in the number of assets and market verticals available. Users are in desperate need of solutions that curate, categorize, and simplify access to the market. OpenDelta Index Products solve this problem.
Partnering with GMCI
OpenDelta's first indices will launch with GMCI as our methodology partner and will be based on their existing indices.
GMCI indices are compliant with the European Benchmark Regulation (BMR), establishing GMCI as the premier index methodology provider in the crypto space. Their flagship GMCI30 index has become the industry standard for tracking the broader crypto market, and they offer many other indices that track specific verticals and sub-sectors. This partnership allows OpenDelta to leverage GMCI's robust, institutional-grade index methodologies for our on-chain products.
In addition, we're excited to work with Wintermute, the industry's leading market maker, as our liquidity provider for the our index products.
By combining GMCI's methodology expertise with OpenDelta's hybrid on-chain/off-chain infrastructure and Wintermute's institutional-grade liquidity provision, we're creating index products that can truly scale while maintaining the highest standards of quality and reliability.
Our First Product: OG30
Our first index product, the OG30 (based on GMCI's flagship GMCI30 Index), will launch next month. This index will track the top 30 cryptocurrencies and digital assets, providing a benchmark for the broader crypto market.
Following the OG30, we plan to release several additional indices throughout 2025, focusing on various market verticals and sectors.
"We're thrilled about this partnership with GMCI. Indexes have been the missing piece in DeFi, but with OG30, we're finally bringing institutional-grade methodology on-chain in a scalable, truly DeFi-native way," says Konstantin Wünscher, CEO of OpenDelta.
OpenDelta co-founder Nick Schteringard added, "We strongly believe that integrating the seamless index experience of traditional finance with the composability of on-chain assets is the most secure and efficient way forward for crypto investing. Historically, passive investing has outperformed active strategies for most investors, and our partnership with GMCI— a best-in-class index provider— enables us to bring this proven approach to DeFi. Together, we are leading the convergence of TradFi and DeFi, delivering reliable, high-performing products to the market."
"We are excited to partner with OpenDelta to launch the first GMCI Index Token, the OG30. This marks a major milestone in making index investing truly accessible to a broader audience. The crypto industry is evolving rapidly, and bringing index trading fully on-chain, as a spot product, is the next logical step in expanding access to diversified, transparent, and efficient investment products," says GMCI CEO Maarten Botman. "At GMCI, we’ve always been committed to providing best-in-class index methodologies, and this partnership allows us to bridge the gap between traditional finance and DeFi in a way that benefits both retail and institutional investors."
