Huobi Cryptocurrency Exchange announced Thursday that its Huobi HB10 Index, which tracks the top 10 coins traded on the Huobi Pro has been added to the famed Bloomberg Data Terminal. Users of Bloomberg Data Terminal will now have access to HB10 crypto market index launched by Huobi through the service.
The index uses weighted samples to track in real time, the performance of the top 10 cryptocurrencies against Tether (USDT), a cryptocurrency pegged at the price of the dollar. The HB 10 cryptocurrency Index was introduced in May.
The process was described in an official statement. It read:
“Huobi main force has divided digital assets into four main categories: digital asset, platform, application and real asset substitute (of which real asset substitute is not included in the index because it represents the price of real assets). Assets will be ranked according to their turnover, and top assets of each category will be selected as index samples. After samples are selected, the sample weight will be calculated based on the daily average trading volume of the previous quarter.”
Huobi, currently the third biggest exchange by trading volume also released an exchange-traded fund that uses the HB 10 Index as a benchmark for investors to invest in a variety of cryptocurrencies.
