Watch Martin Leinweber, CFA at MarketVector Indexes discuss staking and innovation in crypto indexes   We discuss how the integration of staking rewards combined with customization has set a new standard for digital asset indexes.   MarketVector and Figment have aligned to provide a more comprehensive measure of the value of Ethereum. The partnership marries MarketVector’s expertise in index administration with Figment’s best-in-class Ethereum rewards rate reporting.   The MarketVectorTM Figment Ethereum Staking Reward Reference Rate measures the annualized rate resulting from staking ETH on Ethereum. The Rewards Rate encompasses rewards from all activities on the Consensus Layer, including block proposals, attestations, sync committee, slashing reporting and the Execution Layer, including priority transaction fees and MEV. Penalties incurred from slashing are automatically deducted.   The MarketVectorTM Figment Ethereum Total Return Index takes a comprehensive and flexible approach by combining Ethereum’s Consensus and Execution Layer rewards with the daily market price. This approach provides a holistic perspective on Ethereum’s performance, considering all possible reward sources and slashing incidents while utilizing reliable exchange data to capture the market price of Ethereum.   A first-mover in staking-as-a-service, Figment provides staking and data solutions to some of the largest institutions in the digital asset space. MarketVector IndexesTM (“MarketVector”) together with Figment introduce two innovative indexes to provide a more comprehensive measure of the value of Ethereum. Learn how the partners have worked to combine Ethereum’s market performance with staking rewards into an innovative, customizable benchmark.   The first products co-created by MarketVector and Figment include the soon-to-be-launched the MarketVectorTM Figment Ethereum Staking Reward Reference Rate and the MarketVectorTM Figment Ethereum Total Return Index. While the partnership’s initial focus is on solutions for institutions and investors in Ethereum, this partnership paves the way to expand and extend these capabilities to other digital assets in the future. The MarketVectorTM Figment Ethereum Staking Reward Reference Rate is a daily annualized rate of Ethereum rewards.   These products are tailor-made for institutions, marrying MarketVector’s expertise in index administration with Figment’s best-in-class Ethereum rewards capture. Our initial focus is on Ethereum (ETH), paving the way for future opportunities to expand and extend these innovative products to other assets.   For more information please visit MarketVector website ETF TV is your insight into the world of exchange-traded funds, issuers and investment. Register to receive updates and watch prior episodes at www.ETFtv.net.

Watch ETF TV Steven Schoenfeld, Chief Executive at MarketVector Indexes discusses economic exposure indexes, investable strategies for a global world in flux. Precisely defined global and domestic economic exposure indexes allow investors to supplement or diversify their country/regional exposure, or take tactical investment actions to add alpha. KEY FINDINGS Globalization is in flux, oscillating between globalization and deglobalization forces, with deglobalization currently the prevailing trend. Increased cycles of global versus domestic dominance will drive divergence within country and regional performance. The world is shifting in a major way – macro-economic trends, new and disruptive industries/themes, and changes in trade flows warrant a reconsideration of how investors define countries. Using country or regional indexes structured around economic exposure can provide investors with a more precise, targeted investment solution for a world in flux. ABSTRACT The seemingly inexorable globalization trend has been halted by the COVID-19 pandemic, heightened geopolitical tension, the war in Ukraine, and inflation on a global scale. Although it is unimaginable to expect a fully deglobalized world, structural trends toward localization now exist. The impact of global and local macro drivers will impact business depending on their dominant business exposure. Investors who want to capture these differences that may result in divergent trends will need a targeted approach that segments companies within a country or region by their revenue exposure to global or local drivers. Precisely defined global and domestic economic exposure indexes allow investors to supplement or diversify their country/regional exposure, or take tactical investment actions to add alpha.
