HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 17 July 2026 - IX Asia Indexes today announced the 2026 second quarter (Q2) review result of the ixCrypto Index Series and the IX Digital Asset Industry Index Series.

After the change, the free float adjusted market capitalization coverage is 83.17%* (excluding stablecoins, which have 11.95% of the total crypto universe), while the 90-day-average volume is 64.34%*. The constituents change above and recapping at 40% will take effect on the effective date.

The 90-day-average volume coverage for the first time since 2018 has dropped by over 10% compared to last quarter; This is due to Bitcoin and Ethereum's trading volume dropping by over 24% in Q2. There is currently no consistency on different leading crypto-volume-tracking sources (CoinMarketCap & CoinGecko). CoinGecko showed an abnormal trading volume of USDT between 1 April to 9 April, which is approximately 81,164 times the average volume of the remaining period in Q2. Based on the two sources mentioned above, the combined average trading volume of stablecoins within the top 19 rankings was approximately 1.88 to 2.01 times the aggregate volume of the IXCI constituents. *

Since the last review, there has been a decrease in the crypto total market capitalization from USD2.62T to USD2.43T (-7.29%)^#, and a decrease in the daily volume from USD108.17B to USD96.89B (-10.43%)^#. Bitcoin remains the largest crypto in the constituent list, with its price decreased by 9.83% since the last review.

At the upcoming effective date, IX5050 weightings will remain unchanged at 50%/50%. IXPI weightings will be adjusted to 86.12% and 13.88% for IXBI and IXEI, respectively, reflecting the market capitalization proportions of Bitcoin and Ethereum at the cut-off date.

Bybit
CoinW ^(ADDITION)
LBank
OrangeX ^(ADDITION)
Gate.io
Coinbase Exchange
KuCoin

Removed Exchanges

MEXC
Crypto.com Exchange

The selected 10 exchanges will be used to generate each of the fair average prices for the IX indexes' constituents. The exchange review covers volume rankings, exchange background checks, founders' background checks, USD/USDT/USDC/USDe/BTC pair coverage, overconcentration rules, exchange API coverage checks, and stability, among other aspects, for an exchange.

For more details about our exchange selection criteria, please email info@ix-index.com. More information on the ixCrypto Indexes, including their constituents and constituents' weights, is provided in the Appendices, or refer to the website https://ix-index.com/.

*Exclude stable coins and exchange coins that trigger conflict of interest (based on conflict-of-interest rule methodology 3.9, effective on Oct 2, 2020)

**The lower estimate of 1.88 times excludes CoinGecko's USDT volume data from 1?9 April 2026 because the reported average was approximately 81,164 times higher than the average recorded during the remaining review period from 10 April to 30 June 2026. The figures were therefore treated as an apparent data anomaly.

#As of 30^thJune 2026, based on the past 90 days average
