S&P Dow Jones Index and Kaiko launch S&P Kaiko Digital Asset Index

S&P Dow Jones Indices and Kaiko announced on September 1, 2026, the integration of digital asset index products into a co-branded series called S&P Kaiko Digital Asset Indices. Kaiko's digital asset reference rates and multi-asset indices, along with the existing S&P DJI cryptocurrency indices, will be unified under the name S&P Kaiko. This series is driven by Kaiko's crypto-native data infrastructure and market expertise, with S&P DJI responsible for global licensing, distribution, and benchmark management.

At launch, the series will cover over 4,000 rates and indices across digital asset categories. Existing financial products benchmarked to Kaiko reference rates and multi-asset indices will adopt the new S&P Kaiko brand. Kaiko Indices, S.A. will retain its existing brand and BMR registration. Cameron Drinkwater, Chief Product and Operating Officer of S&P Dow Jones Indices, stated that this integration enhances the standards of digital asset benchmarks with transparency, rigor, and market relevance. Ambre Soubiran, CEO of Kaiko, mentioned that this move provides institutions with credibility, distribution channels, and data accuracy.
