Coinbase Institutional has announced the completion of its fourth-quarter 2025 rebalancing for the Coinbase 50 Index (COIN50), a benchmark tracking the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization and liquidity on the platform. This quarterly update aims to keep the index aligned with current market trends and top-performing assets.
Six new digital assets have been added to the COIN50 Index: Hedera (HBAR), Mantle (MANTLE), VeChain (VET), Flare (FLR), Sei (SEI), and Immutable (IMX). These additions reflect growing institutional and retail interest, with HBAR and VET noted for enterprise blockchain solutions, and IMX gaining traction in Web3 gaming. Mantle, Sei, and Flare are recognized for their layer-1 innovations and ecosystem developments.
Concurrently, six tokens were removed from the index: SKALE (SKL), Akash Network (AKT), Livepeer (LPT), Synthetix (SNX), Helium (HNT), and Convex Finance (CVX). The removals are based on transparent criteria including market cap, liquidity, and trading activity, signaling a shift in momentum rather than project failure.
The rebalancing process ensures the COIN50 Index remains a reliable indicator for institutional investors, potentially influencing portfolio strategies and market sentiment. It highlights the evolving landscape of cryptocurrencies and the rising relevance of specific projects in the competitive market.
