The CF DeFi Composite Index is a liquid, investible benchmark portfolio index that tracks the return performance of decentralised financial services, commonly referred to as "DeFi". The index is comprised of three distinct sub-portfolios of fixed weight that represent the components of blockchain architecture that are required to deliver decentralised financial services to individual and institutional end users; decentralized applications (dApps) via DeFi protocols, Services and Settlement Blockchains. Digital assets are classified in accordance with the CF Digital Asset Classification Structure (DACS) for sub-portfolio eligibility.

Large caps rebounded in a beta-led rally as Sectors like DeFi and Culture mean reverted. Staking rate changes wavered. Bitcoin implied volatility fell despite realized vol's rise; funding rates diverged: BTC (BIRC) steeper, USDT softer. In Factors: Downside Beta and Liquidity edged Growth and Value.

CF Benchmarks
The checklist for a durable low—lower implied volatility, term structure back to contango, skew nearer neutral—has been partially met, but not conclusively so, as yet.
