Traders Union experts unveil new crypto benchmark: TU 77 Crypto Index
Traders Union has introduced the TU 77 Crypto Index, a new indicator designed to track the performance of a diversified basket of leading cryptocurrencies and monitor the overall state of the global digital asset market.
The index covers key segments of the crypto ecosystem and can serve as a benchmark for long-term market analysis.
The index was developed by the Traders Union team under the leadership of analyst Andrey Mastykin, Head of Company Reviews and Ratings. During the development process, the specialists conducted analytical modeling and a series of back-tests to determine the optimal structure and number of assets in the index.

Why the index includes exactly 77 cryptocurrencies
Testing showed that indexes composed of 10 cryptocurrencies are overly concentrated and heavily dependent on the performance of the largest assets. At the same time, broader indexes of 100 assets include a large number of low-liquidity tokens, which increases market noise and reduces the stability of the indicator.
As a result of quantitative analysis, the analysts concluded that a basket of 77 cryptocurrencies provides the optimal balance between market coverage, asset liquidity, and index stability.
Calculation methodology and monthly rebalancing
The index includes cryptocurrencies that meet criteria such as market capitalization, liquidity, trading activity, and data reliability. Stablecoins, low-liquidity, and non-representative tokens are excluded to ensure the index reflects real market dynamics.
The TU 77 Crypto Index is reviewed on a monthly basis on the first day of each month. During rebalancing, asset weights are recalculated and the index composition may be updated if necessary; extraordinary adjustments may occur in exceptional cases, such as asset delistings.
Market significance
The launch of the TU 77 Crypto Index reflects the growing demand for broader benchmarks to evaluate the crypto market. According to CoinMarketCap, the total capitalization of the digital asset industry exceeds $2–3 trillion during different market cycles, while Bitcoin and Ethereum often account for 60–70% of the market, making it difficult to assess the dynamics of other segments.
Diversified indices are increasingly used as analytical benchmarks, with similar solutions developed by S&P Dow Jones Indices, Bloomberg, and Nasdaq. In this context, the TU 77 Crypto Index may serve as an additional tool for tracking the broader structure of the crypto industry and long-term market trends.
