Company mission
TradeBlock's mission is to power the next wave of institutional adoption by building the premier platform for crypto assets.
Our take
Reliable coin indexing is becoming increasingly important in the crypto markets as trading volumes grow, assets diversify, and more institutional players join the sector. TradeBlock, not to be confused with sneaker resale platform Tradeblock, emerged as a crypto index provider a while back. It’s since grown to be used by $20B+ worth of investment products globally. It additionally provides trading solutions spanning the pre-trade, execution, post-trade, and analytics stages.
It’s not the only index around, however. Major players like Nasdaq, S&P Dow Jones, Bloomberg, and the NYSE all have crypto indexes with varyingly comprehensive asset coverage. They of course bring an institutional heft that can overshadow more independent sources like TradeBlock, even if the latter index covers a broader spread of coins.
So TradeBlock’s acquisition by CoinDesk in 2021 may be a smart move helping the company somewhat sidestep growing levels of competition. Now wholly owned as a CoinDesk subsidiary, but operating independently of the crypto news organization, TradeBlock continues to be a relatively comprehensive leading player that is now more securely embedded into the growing crypto ecosystem.
