What Is the Virtune AI Crypto Index, and How Are Assets Selected?

The Virtune AI Crypto Index ETP offers investors a simple and transparent way to gain diversified exposure to the emerging AI agent economy through a single exchange-traded investment product. The ETP tracks an index developed together with MarketVector Indexes, focusing on crypto assets that support the infrastructure behind autonomous AI agents.

Artificial intelligence is evolving beyond answering questions to independently performing tasks, purchasing services, and executing transactions. As AI agents become increasingly autonomous, they require infrastructure for payments, trading, data access, and computing power. Blockchain technology and crypto assets have the potential to play an important role in enabling this new digital economy.

How crypto assets are selected for the index

Unlike traditional crypto indices that primarily focus on the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, the Virtune AI Crypto Index follows a thematic, rules-based strategy designed to capture the infrastructure supporting the AI agent economy.

The index focuses on crypto assets associated with technologies that enable autonomous AI agents to interact with digital services, exchange value, and execute transactions.

Key areas within this ecosystem include:

• Payment and settlement networks: Blockchain networks that enable fast, programmable transactions and the transfer of value between AI agents and digital services.

  
  

• Trading and liquidity infrastructure: Decentralized exchanges and protocols that allow autonomous agents to trade and exchange digital assets.

  
  

• Data and interoperability: Networks that provide reliable external data, facilitate communication between different blockchains, and support automated decision-making.

  
  

• Decentralized computing and AI services: Blockchain-based platforms that provide access to computing resources, AI models, and other services required by autonomous AI systems.

  
  

These areas represent important building blocks of the AI agent economy. Rather than focusing exclusively on cryptocurrencies directly associated with artificial intelligence, the index also considers the broader blockchain infrastructure that autonomous agents may rely on.

Assets are selected according to the index's predefined methodology and eligibility requirements, providing a systematic approach to gaining exposure to this developing sector.

The index is designed to evolve alongside the AI agent economy. As new technologies, blockchain networks, and crypto assets emerge, the index methodology allows its composition to be reviewed and adjusted over time. This allows the index to continue reflecting developments in the infrastructure supporting autonomous AI agents as the ecosystem evolves.

How the index is weighted and rebalanced

An important feature of the Virtune AI Crypto Index is its equal-weighted approach.

At each quarterly rebalancing, the included crypto assets are assigned equal portfolio weights, regardless of their market capitalization. This prevents the largest assets from automatically dominating the index and provides meaningful exposure to smaller projects within the selected investment universe.

Between rebalancings, individual weights may fluctuate as market prices change. Assets may also be added or removed at scheduled reviews according to the index methodology and applicable eligibility requirements.

This systematic process is designed to maintain diversified exposure across the selected crypto assets while adapting to developments in the underlying market.

Why invest in the Virtune AI Crypto Index ETP?

The convergence of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology represents an emerging area of the digital asset market. As autonomous AI agents become increasingly capable of performing economic activities, demand for programmable payments, decentralized computing, and blockchain-based infrastructure could grow.

Investing directly in the different crypto assets supporting this development can be complex, requiring investors to research, purchase, store, and manage multiple crypto assets.

The Virtune AI Crypto Index ETP simplifies this process by providing:

• Diversified AI infrastructure exposure: Access to multiple crypto assets supporting the AI agent economy through a single investment.

  
  

• Rules-based selection: A transparent index methodology focused on crypto assets associated with the infrastructure enabling autonomous AI agents.

  
  

• Equal weighting: Each asset receives an equal allocation at quarterly rebalancing, preventing larger crypto assets from dominating the index solely due to their market capitalization.

  
  

• Adaptability: Periodic index reviews allow the composition to evolve alongside developments in blockchain technology and artificial intelligence.

  
  

• Institutional-grade security: The ETP is 100% physically backed, with underlying crypto assets held in cold storage with institutional custodians.

  
  

• Simple and accessible investing: Investors can gain exposure through their regular bank or online broker without managing crypto wallets, private keys, or individual cryptocurrency transactions.

  
  

The Virtune AI Crypto Index ETP follows a transparent, rules-based investment strategy, with information about its holdings, allocations, and performance available on the product page.

By combining exposure to different parts of the AI agent economy with the accessibility of a physically backed exchange-traded product, Virtune offers investors a way to participate in the development of blockchain infrastructure supporting autonomous AI.
