About C100
C100.digital is an index crypto company that provides an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrencies while maintaining broad exposure to growth and valuation of cryptocurrencies, minimizing idiosyncratic risk and volatility of any particular coin.
The C100 index includes the top 100 coins by capitalization. The maximum weight of any coin within the index is no more than 10%. C100 funds are properly collateralized at all times and exclude coins directly tied to any FIAT currency. Any index coin is secured by an appropriate collateral held in C100 custody. The C100 can be exchanged at any time for a collection of 100 matching coins. The index is rebalanced at the beginning of each month.
The C100 uses high-tech sophisticated systems to protect against external and internal threats. Most of C100’s collateral is stored in a cold wallet, while only a small amount is available to compatible cryptocurrency exchanges for rebalancing purposes.
