Features of the New Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index
Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures is a hybrid index that encompasses 10 positions: shares of the so-called “Magnificent Seven” American tech giants, Coinbase, and two crypto funds from BlackRock. Each component of the index has equal weight, allowing investors to achieve a diversified portfolio across various sectors of the financial market.
The futures for this index are monthly contracts settled in cash. The company emphasizes that the new product will provide investors with a versatile tool for simultaneous exposure to both the traditional stock market and the cryptocurrency sector.
“Historically, there has been no derivative in the U.S. that provided access to both stocks and cryptocurrencies within a futures product,” the company stated.
Advantages and Prospects for Investors
Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures offers a range of advantages, including an embedded diversification mechanism, access to advanced sectors of the economy, and more effective risk management. Trading of the new index will commence on the Coinbase Derivatives platform. However, retail investors will only be able to access the product a few months after its launch.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong reported that the company plans to continue launching similar innovative products, which is part of its strategy to create a super app for financial operations.
In August 2025, Coinbase completed a deal to acquire the derivatives exchange Deribit for $2.9 billion. This decision aims to strengthen the company’s position in the market and attract institutional investors interested in a wide range of instruments.
