Why the CoinDesk 80 Index?

Now, this isn't just your average index. Oh no! Bullish Exchange, the cool kid on the block with a $1 trillion trading volume record since 2021, is backing this baby up. They've introduced a perpetual futures contract tied to this index, with the ticker CD80/USDC-PERP. It’s like strapping turbo boosters to your crypto-trading strategy!
And guess what? Crypto market makers like GSR and STS Digital are already on board, ready to ride this rocket to the moon and maybe make a pit stop at Mars while they're at it.
Features to Drool Over
Key highlights of our shiny new toy—I mean, index—include focusing on liquid and large-market assets while ensuring that stablecoins and wrapped tokens don't hog all the action.

But wait, there’s more! Tom Farley, CEO of Bullish, is practically gasping with excitement: "The demand for index products is growing as digital assets become an established part of global financial markets," he declares. "We can't wait to see the impact of the CoinDesk 80 Index Perpetual Futures Contract on our platform."
