MarketVector Launches Four New Thematic Equity Indexes

MarketVector Indexes announced the launch of four new thematic equity indexes engineered for continuous, 24/5 markets: the MarketVector US Listed AI 10 Index, the MarketVector US Listed China 10 Index, the MarketVector US Listed Defense 10 Index, and the MarketVector US Listed Innovators 100 Index. The indexes, which leverage Pyth Network's real-time, proprietary market data infrastructure for near-continuous price calculation, will underlie a suite of perpetual-style equity index futures launched by Coinbase, representing a new application of institutional index methodology in continuous markets.As perpetual exchanges, tokenized assets, and global derivatives markets increasingly trade around the clock, demand for continuous equity pricing has outpaced what traditional market-hours benchmarks can support. The new indexes address this gap directly - bringing institutional index methodology, benchmark governance, and thematic equity expertise into a new generation of derivatives infrastructure. For investors, they create a new way to access equity-linked exposures through perpetual-style futures, expanding the use case for perpetual-style products beyond crypto-native assets.
