CRYPTO 100 Cryptocurrency Index crypto news on the top 100 cryptoassets.

Crypto Owl, the leading UK based provider of beginner friendly cryptocurrency education, unveils the CRYPTO 100 ® Index – a robust cryptocurrency index tracking the top 100 cryptoassets using our replicable formula. This index prioritises Volatility, Adoption, Liquidity, and Tokenomics (VALT Score) rather than relying solely on market capitalisation and hype.

Modelled on the FTSE 100 and S&P 500, it captures real time market activity, composition, and trends across various sectors.

London, UK – March 14, 2026 – Designed for the growing UK crypto market, the CRYPTO 100 fills the gap for reliable, independent benchmarks that enhance transparency and institutional confidence.

Updated daily, this index excludes stablecoins (e.g., USDT, USDC) and asset-backed wrappers (e.g., WBTC, stETH) to focus on volatile, growth driven assets. Its methodology – detailed at crypto100.co.uk/crypto100-methodology – employs advanced network analysis, liquidity filters, and portfolio theory for superior diversification. Free API access allows seamless embedding on sites without licensing fees.

The CRYPTO 100 is calculated using our unique quality score, differentiating it from CMC100 and CoinDesk100, which are based on market capitalization. While CMC100 relies on basic top 100 market cap weighting with monthly rebalances, CRYPTO 100’s dynamic methodology incorporates network science and liquidity screening for a more resilient and diversified perspective on market leaders, representing approximately 87% of non stablecoin capitalisation.

In contrast, CoinDesk100 blends narrower indices (80% CD20, 20% CD80) with slower quarterly rebalancing, making it less responsive to rapid shifts. CRYPTO 100’s real-time updates every 5 minutes and monthly rebalances provide fresher insights, while its UK centric design supports GBP pairs, unlike the US/global focus of CMC100 and CoinDesk100. Coupled with its education-first accessibility, CRYPTO 100 stands out as the clear choice for UK investors and institutions.

"Crypto Owl builds crypto tools UK users can use," said Neil Westwood, Founder of Crypto Owl.
