S&P Global is introducing a new benchmark that mixes 15 cryptocurrencies with 35 blockchain-related equities.

The “S&P Digital Markets 50” was developed with Dinari and limits each asset to a 5% weighting.

Dinari plans to tokenize the index, offering investors onchain access to the product later this year.
S&P Expands Into Hybrid Digital Assets
S&P Global, the company behind the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average, announced its first hybrid index combining both crypto assets and traditional stocks.
The new benchmark, called the S&P Digital Markets 50, will include 15 major cryptocurrencies and 35 equities linked to the digital asset industry — from infrastructure providers and exchanges to blockchain application developers.
S&P said the index will serve as a bridge for investors seeking diversified exposure across both traditional and crypto markets. Each component will be capped at 5% of the total index, with minimum market caps of $300 million for cryptocurrencies and $100 million for equities.
A Tokenized Benchmark
Dinari, the tokenization firm collaborating with S&P, will launch an investable token that tracks the index. The product will go live on its dShares platform by the end of 2025.
According to Dinari’s Chief Business Officer, Anna Wroblewska, the project “shows how blockchain can modernize trusted financial benchmarks, making them accessible and transparent worldwide.”
This marks a milestone for S&P’s growing suite of crypto-linked benchmarks, aligning with the rising institutional push for tokenized financial instruments.
