index binance coinmarcetcap top 10In October 2022, the Binance cryptocurrency exchange is launching a specialized cryptocurrency index of the top 10 cryptocurrencies, similar to the Nasdag Composite, Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and S&P 500. With the help of which the general state of the economy, entire industries or the entire country is assessed. These indices are followed by millions of people ranging from the government, banks, fund managers, traders and ordinary housewives. And, for sure, you, too, have already heard more than once about various indices on stock exchanges around the world. The Binance CMC Top 10 Index sets itself a similar goal of tracking the state of the entire cryptocurrency industry, rather than a single Bitcoin or Ethereum cryptocurrency. And the seriousness of the approach in compiling this ranking tells us that Binance is serious about creating a globally recognized crypto index that will be followed by no less than the S&P 500 or the DJIA.

The Binance CoinMarketCap TOP 10 Index is not just tracking the top 10 cryptocurrencies by capitalization, but a whole separate organization with its own committee and methodology for calculating the index, depending on the current state of the crypto market. The TOP 10 includes, as the name implies, the best 10 cryptocurrencies by capitalization and this list will be reviewed monthly. The index itself is recalculated in real time and, importantly, all cryptocurrencies have an equal weight in compiling the index, i.e. regardless of the share of each cryptocurrency in the market, they affect the index in the same way.
