NEW YORK, June 18, 2024 -- ML Tech, a leading non-custodial Separately Managed Accounts (SMA) investment platform, today announced a collaboration with CoinDesk Indices, the leading provider of digital asset indices since 2014, to offer exposure to the CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20) on ML Tech’s SMA platform available to both U.S. and global investors. ML Tech's strategy can now be accessed via multiple top exchanges and custodians, including Kraken and Anchorage with additional partnerships expected soon.

The CoinDesk 20 is a broad-based index that has been embraced by leading market-making firms and global market participants. Designed for scalability, it tracks the performance of top digital assets, applying a capped market capitalization-weighted methodology to enhance diversification.
