(1/15) $INDEX πŸ₯‡
Most of you just know crypto is going to become huge, but it is difficult to pick winners.

One of the best ways to overcome that is by investing in an index. But how?

An overview of the fundamentals, tokenomics and future of @indexcoop
πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡
(2/15) Introduction $INDEX πŸ›«
Before we kick-off, what is an index?

A basket of assets with a strategy on weightings of those assets and a system of rebalancing periodically.

Example: a DeFi index allocating 5% to the top 20 DeFi protocols, re-balanced daily.
(3/15) Vision $INDEX πŸ’‘
@indexcoop aims to make crypto investing simple, accessible and safe by offering index funds.

The index funds are weighted based upon market cap and some also include liquidity.
(3/15) Vision $INDEX πŸ’‘ (continued)
@indexcoop is build upon the trinity:

- Organisation, a DAO contributing to the development of $INDEX.
- Methodologists, internal or external managers of index funds.
- Platform, smart contract based execution of index funds strategies.

(7/15) Tokenomics $INDEX πŸ’΅
Currently the $INDEX token is only used for governance.

In the future the token will earn revenues derived from fees, those are paid by index holders. Another income stream is assets within the index being staked or used to farm for additional yield.
(8/15) Competition $INDEX βš”οΈ
In the short-term it will come from TradFi.

Institutional money either goes for $BTC and $ETH or an index. Those will be offered by companies like Blackrock and MSCI.

But algorithmic index funds are the future, they will be cheaper and better.
(8/15) Competition $INDEX βš”οΈ (continued)
Some other crypto protocols going after this opportunity:

@ndxfi $NDX with $7 million AUM. They have highly sophisticated models for balancing indexes.

@PieDAO_DeFi $DOUGH has roughly $7 AUM as well. They have a great brand.

(12/15) Competitive Advantage $INDEX 🏰
Ultimately index funds are build on network effects. There will be a ton of competition in this space, as traditional asset management firms are getting into crypto as well.

@indexcoop has the first movers advantage and ...
(12/15) Competitive Advantage $INDEX 🏰 (continued)

a strong community behind it. There is little crypto native competition now and they are by far the largest.

Ultimately there will be front-end applications offering back-end index funds built on protocols like @indexcoop .
(13/15) Valuation $INDEX βš–οΈ
Assuming the token holders receive earnings and staking/farming rewards in the future:

- Earnings are 1.9 million.
- Assuming a 10% yield on assets inside the index, 200 * 0.1 = 20.

In total: 105 / (20 + 1.9) = a PE of 4.8. Very cheap.
(14/15) Conclusion $INDEX πŸŒ‘πŸŒ“πŸŒ•
The TVL has been trending down from almost $600 million in November to $200 million now. Most of this is due to the crypto markets crashing, some is selling.
(14/15) Conclusion $INDEX πŸŒ‘πŸŒ“πŸŒ•

It is a challenge to identify a sustainable moat, but with a P/E of 4.8 the risk/reward is favorable.

Disclosure: I don’t have a position now, but will get one soon.
