MSCI Delays Decision on Classifying Crypto-Heavy Companies in Global Indexes
Global index provider MSCI has postponed its decision on how to categorize companies with significant cryptocurrency holdings within its global equity indexes. The delay leaves existing classifications intact for now, maintaining the status quo for crypto-exposed firms seeking inclusion in traditional financial benchmarks.
The move reflects ongoing institutional caution as traditional finance navigates the integration of digital assets. MSCI's hesitation underscores the broader challenge of standardizing crypto valuations and risk assessments for mainstream investment products.
