GMCI 30 Index Launches on Pyth Network

The Pyth Network continues to make the world’s financial data accessible to smart contract developers everywhere. In this spirit, the oracle network has launched the GMCI 30 Index Price Feed to provide exposure to the GMCI crypto market price index (or “GM 30”) to more than 60 blockchain ecosystems.

Integration with the GMCI 30 feed, along with any of Pyth's 540+ price feeds, is permissionless. DeFi applications can base their operations on the real-time price of the GM 30. This blog explores the design of the GM 30 and Pyth expands exposure to this index to multiple blockchains.

What is the GMCI 30 Index

GMCI is an index provider specializing in unique indices for the digital assets space. Cryptocurrency market indices with transparent methodologies are important for onboarding investors, financial institutions, and market analysts to the Web3 capital markets. Indices also provide standardization to these newer markets, which paves the way for more sophisticated digital assets solutions.

This year, GMCI launched their flagship GMCI 30 Index or GM 30, an index which tracks the performance of the 30 largest digital assets according to market capitalization. This index offers a global snapshot of the cryptocurrency markets, capturing major drivers such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as long-term industry leaders. An index like GM 30 can help market participants easily track the performance of the leading cryptocurrencies, as well as evaluate the industry’s stability, sentiment, and growth trends.

"We are excited to announce that Pyth Network will be streaming GMCI index prices. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in our mission to become the benchmark of choice in the crypto space. By leveraging Pyth's cutting-edge technology, we are ensured of providing even more accurate and reliable data to our users. This partnership underscores our commitment to innovation and excellence in the market.” — Maarten Botman, CEO of GMCI

“I believe sector indices are inevitable and crucial for the future of DeFi. The GMCI 30 Index on Pyth Network is a significant step in that direction, as this launch makes an important crypto index available through protocols across more than 60 blockchains spanning all the major ecosystems.” – Larry Cermak, CEO of The Block
