Introducing the Altcoin200 Index
There are a small number of altcoin price indices out there, however many of them are small (10-25 components) and may have complex methodologies that could cause the index to rebalance frequently. This index seeks to simplify the tracking of alt-coin aggregate prices and increase the breadth now that there are many hundreds of alt-coins. This index is fully investable using various cryptocurrency markets and price data is easily available making this a suitable benchmark for altcoin investors or traders.
Index visibility The index price will be updated daily (or as frequently as possible if longer than daily) via Twitter. @Altcoin200 will tweet the values. For questions or comments & feedback you can email Altcoin200[at]gmail.com
A website complete with graphs, price history and analytics will follow if this gains enough support and traction.
Methodology The index is comprised of the 200 largest alt-coins by market capitalization, denominated in BTC prices. To keep the index a monitor of truly 'alternate' coins, BTC, LTC, XRP and BitShares are excluded. Crypto-'assets' such as Gems and NuShares are also excluded. The index composition is listed below. The index price is calculated as the weighted price (denominated in BTC), multiplied by 1,000,000. The index price now at inception is: BTC2212.025
Rebalancing will occur if component weights exceed +/- 15% of initial weightings and initial weightings will be reset if rebalancing occurs. If a weighting exceeds the band threshold to the downside making it no longer a constituent of the index, a new altcoin will be added to replace it. If a new altcoin comes in to existence with a sufficient market capitalization to warrant inclusion in the index, it will be added after 100 days of being listed on a tradable exchange.
*Please note that for now, it has been decided to use market capitalization and not a float-adjusted measure. The reason being is that any pre-mined coins may be offered for sale and exchanged at any time.
