Could you please elaborate on the process used to calculate the Bitcoin index? Is it based solely on the current market price of bitcoin, or are there other factors taken into consideration? Additionally, how frequently is the index updated, and by whom is it maintained? I'm particularly interested in understanding the methodology behind its calculation and the potential impact of market volatility on its accuracy.

The calculation of the index is executed using a sophisticated volume-weighted median price (VWMP) methodology.

This methodology takes into account the trading volume of each market, thereby assigning a higher weight to more liquid markets and providing a more representative and reliable price.

The index is recalculated every 15 seconds, utilizing the most recent VWMP spot market data spanning the past 60 minutes.
