CFB Index Bytes Ep 04: CF Classification Series

Thematic Investing in Crypto: Inside the CF Classification Series

In this episode of CFB Index Bytes, Head of Product Thomas Erdösi is joined by Senior Product Manager Cristian Isac to explore the CF Classification Series—a set of thematic indices offering targeted exposure to specific segments of the digital asset market.

Built on CF Benchmarks’ proprietary CF Digital Asset Classification Structure (CF DACS), these indices categorize digital assets by usage and adoption across three taxonomy levels, enabling consistent and accurate classification. This framework powers a diverse suite of indices—from smart contract platforms to DeFi and digital culture.

Thomas and Cristian discuss how the CF Classification Series enables investors to:

  • Identify thematic investment opportunities
  • Construct diversified portfolios with reduced concentration risk
  • Benchmark performance across digital asset sectors
  • And analyze market trends through a structured lens

With a sector-based architecture, a capped free-float market cap weighting approach, and regulation under the UK Benchmarks Regulation, the CF Classification Series is designed to meet the needs of institutions building products or conducting market analysis in a rapidly evolving space.
