'Decentralized BlackRock': Reserve Launches DeFi ETFs with Bloomberg Indices, CoinDesk Indices, and 10 Others

ABC Labs, the team behind Reserve, has launched the Reserve Index Protocol to offer twelve Decentralized Token Folios (DTFs).

The Reserve Protocol is a platform that enables anyone to create yield-bearing, decentralized, and asset-backed currencies, RTokens, as an alternative to inflation-prone currencies.

The press release shared says that the new Reserve Index Protocol provides "a first-of-its-kind, build-your-own ETF-like experience to crypto" to investors and institutions, via its "one-click, easy-to-use" solution.

Thomas Mattimore, CEO of ABC Labs, commented that:

"We built the Reserve Index Protocol to become a ‘decentralized BlackRock,' which we believe will open up the floodgates of creativity. Plus, by partnering with some of the premier index creators in the world, people can now easily get one-click exposure to this growing industry alongside trusted brand names."

Twelve index-based DTFs are available starting today. These include the Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index; CoinDesk DeFi Select Index; MarketVector Token Terminal Fundamental Index through partnership with Re7 Labs; the Virtuals Index by Virtuals Protocol; the RWA Index and Large Cap DeFi Index by MEV Capital; the Alpha Base Index by Altcoinist.com; the Clanker Index from proxystudio, the BTC/ETH DCA Index and the Imagine the SMEL curated by Steakhouse Financial; the DeFi Growth Index by Today in Defi; the Base MemeIndexer by DTF, and the Clearstar Labs AIndex by Clearstar Labs.

Martin Leinweber, Director of Digital Asset Research & Strategy at MarketVector Indexes, said that the integration into Reserve's DTF platform subsequently makes regulated, professional-grade indexes more accessible while also preserving the transparency that institutional and retail investors demand.
