The Crypto Market Cap peaked in January this year when Bitcoin price reached $16,098
Bitcoin PriceMarket Cap
Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency with high liquidity and network effects. Because it is the pioneer in this field, its market capitalization is above 50% of the whole market. This is why we call the same type of currency other than Bitcoin as altcoin. Its trading volume accounts for more than 30% of the market.
Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum is a ledger technology that companies can use to build new projects. Ethereum's technology has received support from the “Ethereum Alliance”, and many of the Fortune 500 companies are willing to jointly develop Ethereum's “smart contract” technology.
Due to the slower transaction speed of Bitcoin, the Bitcoin community began researching programs to increase the speed of transactions. One simple and rude solution is Bitcoin cash, which can be traded at 56 orders per second. But its shortcomings are also more obvious: lack of computing power support.
The essence of Ripple is the global settlement network of other currencies. Compared with Bitcoin, Ripple has two significant advantages: First, faster transaction speed, lower transaction fee. Second, the Ripple network has a good relationship with major banks and regulators, providing a basis for its development.
Like most altcoins, Litecoin is also designed to improve bitcoin. Litecoin has three significant differences: first, it can provide faster transaction confirmation, and second, the amount of issued currency is four times that of bitcoin. Third, it is easier to carry out Litecoin mining on a regular computer. It has become one of the five constituent currencies in the Swiss cryptocurrency ETF that has just been issued.

Introduction of
ixCrypto Index's methodology
Introduction
The ix Crypto Index (“IXCI”) serves as a market benchmark that reflects the overall performance of the world crypto market.
The IXCI will be launched on 12 December 2018. The IXCI measures the performance of the largest and most liquid cryptocurrencies listed in the world.
The IXCI is a free-floated adjusted market capitalisation weighted index with a cap on the weighting of individual constituent cryptocurrency and is calculated and disseminated daily.

Constituents Eligibility
Universe
The cryptocurrency must fit the definition of a cryptocurrency*.
The cryptocurrency must be traded publicly, and actively traded on at least two (2) exchanges
* Definition of a cryptocurrency refers to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency

Selection Criteria
The cryptocurrency should be among the top N free-floating adjusted market capitalization (“adjusted MC”) cryptocurrencies, where the N cryptos’ market coverage should just exceed 80%.
The cryptocurrency should rank in top 25 in terms of 90-day average trading volume.
If the cryptocurrency in top N in terms of adjusted MC cannot meet the liquidity requirement, it will be kicked off and replaced by the next one or more eligible cryptocurrencies until the total coverage exceed 80%.

Quarterly Review & Announcement schedule
Review Schedule
Ix Fintech undertakes regular quarterly reviews of IXCI constituents with data cut-off dates of end of March, June, September and December each year.
Announcement dates of constituent changes will be the second Fridayafter the cut-off dates of March, June, September and December.
Effective dates of constituent changes will be the third Friday after the cut-off dates of March, June, September and December.
Next Review Mar 29, 2019 Cut-off date
Apr 12, 2019 Announcement date
Apr 19, 2019 Effective date
Buffer rule
In order to avoid frequent change of constituents, set a 5%buffer zone for market capitalization. It means that, in term of adjusted MC, only when the sum of constituents’ weights is below 75%, it need reconstitution.
Fast entry rule
A new crypto will be added if it meets below requirements for 5 consecutive days:
Daily trading volume ranks top 2.
MC is more than 30% weighting of the total market MC.2
1
*MC = Market Capitalization
Capping Rule
All constituents are initially weighted by their adjusted MC. The selected constituent crypto weight will then be capped at 40% of the IXCI MC when conducting the index review. The maximum constituent crypto weight can therefore exceed or below 40% between quarterly review.
Crypto Initial Weights 30% Cap Adjusted 40% Cap Adjusted 50% Cap Adjusted
Bitcoin 65.74% 30.00% 40.00% 50.00%

SFC Regulatory Approach for Crypto-assets
On 1 November, Securities and Futures Commission (“SFC”) set out new regulatory approach for virtual assets*.
Previous regime From 1 Nov 2018 onwards
• Issued statements explaining the
applicability of existing licensing and
authorisation requirements under the
Securities and Futures Ordinance
(“SFO”) for crypto assets and crypto
activity and services.
• Regulatory framework updated to enhance
investor protection by imposing control over
- crypto-asset portfolio managers;
- crypto-asset fund distributors;
and
-crypto-asset trading platform operators.
• Introduce a Conceptual Framework for
potential regulations of virtual asset
trading platform operators.
*A virtual asset is a digital representation of value. Examples include “crypto-currencies”, “crypto-assets”, and “digital tokens”.
SFC Regulatory Approach for Crypto-assets
Core Principals of the Conceptual Framework
All crypto-asset trading activities to be conducted under a single legal entity
Compliance with applicable requirements by the entire crypto-asset trading business
Professional investors as defined under the SFO only
Limitation on trading of initial coin offering assets within the initial 12 months after issue
Ensure the virtual asset trading transactions to be pre-funded, free of leverage, future contracts or other derivative products

Q&A Session
Appendix 1 Data source comparison
* All above refer to public data
Data source* CryptoCompare CoinMarketCap
Strength Provide every 3 hours data for latest 24h.
Provide all
Open/High/Low/Close/Volume/Market Cap
daily data from one crypto’s inception day
WeaknessOnly provide price data.
Historical data are discontinuous.Don’t provide minute-level data
Data difference The difference between 3 cryptos (BTC, ETH, LTC) within 1 month is 1.2699% on average.
Appendix 2 Index Calculation
The Index level is calculated as:
CyptoIndex𝑡 =σ𝑖=1𝑥 𝑃𝑖,𝑡×𝑆𝑖×𝐹𝑖
𝐷𝑡
Where
CyptoIndex𝑡 = the index level on day t
𝑃𝑖,𝑡 = the close price for Constituent i on day t, in USD
𝑆𝑖 = Circulating Supply for Consituent i in current quarter
F𝑖 = Cap factor for Constituent 𝑖,
D𝑡 = Index Divisor
𝑥 = Number of constituents
Appendix 2 Index Calculation
Initial Divisor is calculated as:
D0 =σ𝑖=1𝑥 𝑃𝑖,0×𝑆𝑖×𝐹𝑖
𝐵𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒
Where
D0 = Divisor on inception day
𝑃𝑖,0 = the close price for Constituent i on inception day, in USD
𝑆𝑖 = Circulating Supply for Consituent i in current quarter
F𝑖 = Cap factor for Constituent i
𝐵𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒 = 1000, 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑥 𝑙𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙
𝑥 = Number of constituents
The Cap Factor is calculated as:
F𝑖 =𝑤𝑖,𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑑
𝑤𝑖,𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑙
Where
F𝑖 = Cap factor for Constituent 𝑖,
𝑤𝑖 , 𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑑 = Cap adjusted weight for constituent i
𝑤𝑖 , 𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑙 = Initial weight for constituent i
Appendix 3 Index Rebalancing
When constituents are changed. We just re-calculate the divisor using new constituents:
D𝑛𝑒𝑤 = D𝑜𝑙𝑑 ×σ𝑖=1𝑥 𝑃𝑖,𝑡×𝑆𝑖×𝐹𝑖,𝑛𝑒𝑤
σ𝑖=1𝑛 𝑃𝑖,𝑡×𝑆𝑖×𝐹𝑖,𝑜𝑙𝑑
Where
D𝑜𝑙𝑑 = Old Index Divisor in previous month
𝑃𝑖,𝑡 = the close price for Constituent i on day t, in USD
𝑆𝑖= Circulating Supply for Consituent i in current quarter
F𝑖,𝑛𝑒𝑤 = Cap factor for Constituent 𝑖 𝑖𝑛 𝑛𝑒𝑤 𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑟
F𝑖,old = Cap factor for Constituent 𝑖 𝑖𝑛 pre𝑣𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑟
𝑥 = Number of new constituents
𝑛 = Number of old constituents
