Zerocap Introduces Australia’s First Structured Crypto Product Tied to CoinDesk 20 Index

HONG KONG – Australian digital asset market maker Zerocap has partnered with CoinDesk Indices to launch Australia’s first options-based structured investment product linked to the CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20). The announcement was made at Consensus Hong Kong, marking a breakthrough for institutional crypto investing in the region.

This new product integrates advanced risk management features, allowing institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals to gain diversified exposure to digital assets beyond bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH). It incorporates volatility control, downside protection, and enhanced yield strategies, mirroring techniques long used in traditional finance.

The introduction of this product underscores the increasing demand for institutional-grade cryptocurrency solutions, particularly in the wake of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. The CoinDesk 20 Index, which has surged 456% in five years, offers a broader market exposure compared to the conventional 70/30 BTC-ETH portfolio mix.

“Bringing structured investment solutions to crypto is a major step in the evolution of digital asset markets,” said Mark Hiriart, Head of Sales at Zerocap. “With this partnership, we’re offering institutional investors sophisticated tools to optimize returns while managing risk.”

Alan Campbell, President of CoinDesk Indices, emphasized that the CD20 Index was designed to meet the growing institutional appetite for diversified digital asset investments. He described Zerocap’s launch as a milestone in providing professional-grade investment options for the crypto market.

By bridging the gap between institutional finance and crypto, Zerocap is positioning itself at the forefront of Australia’s growing digital asset sector, delivering innovative investment solutions to meet the evolving needs of sophisticated investors.
