A major focus of the index has been on upcoming and fully functional decentralized application that are continuously seeing adoption.

The index is listed by NASDAQ under the ticker DEFX, and can also be tracked on TradingView and Google. A listing on Yahoo Finance is on the works and will be available soon.

This autumn, Exante is also to launch a fund based on the Defix index, saying it will be offered through a “secure, financially accredited agency.”
