Could you elaborate on the concept of a crypto index fund and provide an example? I'm interested in understanding how these funds operate within the
cryptocurrency landscape. Do they track the performance of a specific group of cryptocurrencies? And if so, what metrics or parameters are used to determine the composition of these indices? An illustrative example would greatly aid my comprehension of this relatively new investment vehicle.

Another popular crypto index fund is Bitwise's 10 Crypto Index Fund, which also focuses on the top 10 coins by market capitalization.

However, Bitwise's fund differs from Grayscale's in its weighting methodology. Instead of a simple market cap-based allocation, Bitwise weights the coins according to their liquidity.
