Today, on 15 April 2022, Solactive announces the results of its market consultation regarding the CoinShares Blockchain Global Equity Index (ISIN: DE000SLA6ZB5 and DE000SLA6ZC3).

Result of Market Consultation

Solactive has examined the responses provided by clients and stakeholders to its market consultation dated 31 March 2022 regarding changes to the methodology of the CoinShares Blockchain Global Equity Index (Link: https://www.solactive.com/market-consultation-coinshares-blockchain-global-equity-index-guideline-change-march-2022/), which ended on 14 April 2022.

Given the concerns expressed by respondents centered around feasibility and required timing for implementation of the proposed changes, Solactive decided not to implement the proposed changes. The index methodology will remain unchanged.

This decision does not preclude any future changes to the index methodology in accordance with the consulted or comparable proposals for change to the methodology of the CoinShares Blockchain Global Equity Index. If deemed necessary, a separate market consultation will be undertaken in such a case.
