S&P Dow Jones Indices and Kaiko have combined their digital asset index offerings under a single co-branded platform called S&P Kaiko Digital Asset Indices, according to a press release issued Sept. 1, 2026.

The suite rebrands Kaiko's existing digital asset reference rates and multi-asset indices alongside S&P Dow Jones Indices' current crypto indices under the S&P Kaiko name. At launch, the platform covers more than 4,000 rates and indices across the digital asset class.

Under the arrangement, Kaiko will provide data sourcing and calculation through connectivity to more than 150 exchanges and round-the-clock infrastructure, while S&P Dow Jones Indices will handle global licensing, distribution, and benchmark administration. S&P Dow Jones Indices holds benchmark administrator status under the EU Benchmarks Regulation and operates in alignment with the IOSCO Principles for Financial Benchmarks.

Existing financial products benchmarked to Kaiko reference rates — including exchange-traded products, futures, options, and structured products — will be able to use the S&P Kaiko brand. Kaiko Indices, S.A., as a legal entity, will retain its existing brand and BMR registration.

"Together, S&P DJI and Kaiko are raising the standard for digital asset benchmarks," said Cameron Drinkwater, Chief Product & Operations Officer at S&P Dow Jones Indices. "This suite combines the trusted S&P brand with Kaiko's crypto-native data infrastructure and market expertise, purpose-built for global, 24/7 digital asset markets."

Kaiko CEO Ambre Soubiran said the pairing offers "a globally trusted benchmark brand paired with crypto-native infrastructure built for 24/7 markets."

S&P Dow Jones Indices is a division of S&P Global (NYSE: SPGI). Kaiko was founded in 2014 and provides digital asset market data and infrastructure to banks, asset managers, and exchanges.
