Zerocap Introduces Australia’s First Tailored Crypto Investment Product Linked to CoinDesk 20 Index
HONG KONG – Australian digital asset market maker Zerocap has joined forces with CoinDesk Indices to launch Australia’s first options-based structured products tied to the CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20). The announcement was made at Consensus Hong Kong, marking a major milestone for the country’s evolving cryptocurrency investment landscape.
This partnership brings sophisticated investment strategies—commonly found in traditional finance—to the digital asset space, offering institutional and high-net-worth investors enhanced risk-managed exposure beyond just bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH). The structured products include downside protection, volatility management, and yield-enhancing features, making them an attractive alternative for those seeking diversified crypto exposure.
The launch reflects growing institutional demand for scalable, structured crypto investment solutions, following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. last year. The CoinDesk 20 Index, which has surged 456% over the past five years, provides an alternative to the traditional 70/30 BTC-ETH portfolio, broadening exposure to a curated basket of top digital assets.
“This partnership with CoinDesk Indices introduces structured options to the crypto space for the first time, giving investors access to risk-adjusted, diversified investment strategies,” said Mark Hiriart, Head of Sales at Zerocap.
Alan Campbell, President of CoinDesk Indices, highlighted that the CD20 Index caters to the rising demand for diversified digital asset investments. He praised Zerocap’s decision to introduce structured products based on the index, calling it a major step forward in serving global investors.
With this innovative launch, Zerocap continues to bridge the gap between traditional finance and digital assets, offering institutional-grade investment products tailored to the evolving needs of the market.
