Although many in the investment community are increasingly open to the possibility of allocating capital to cryptoassets, in some respects, the market is still immature. Liquidity is split between exchanges and, with limited arbitrage opportunities, prices between exchanges can differ. This means that price action is at best an imperfect signal, compromised by factors other than demand for a given asset. The lack of reliable data to provide signals like those investors rely on in traditional markets is an obstacle to some investors' willingness to participate in cryptoasset markets.
To address this, DeFi Technologies presents the DVIO Index. Valour, a portfolio company of DeFi Technologies, provides 102 regulated exchange-traded products tracking over 70 cryptoassets.
The DVIO Index is a rules-based, flow-adjusted benchmark built exclusively on proprietary data from Valour's regulated ETP ecosystem. It tracks the top 50 digital assets by aggregated assets under management across all eligible Valour ETPs, launched at a base value of 1,000 on 16 January 2026. Performance in the index reflects real capital allocation and net flows.Weights are determined weekly at rebalance in three steps: (1) a base AuM weight is calculated for each of the top 50 assets; (2) a flow signal is constructed and assets are ranked by that signal and an adjustment factor is applied to their base weight; (3) the result is normalised to sum to 100%. Between rebalances, weights are frozen (only prices evolve via daily net asset value returns) ensuring the index tracks performance rather than being distorted by interim AuM changes.
