Exclusion Criteria
This section outlines the standardized rules that determine whether a crypto asset may be included in or excluded from an OLTA index.
Exclusion Criteria
A token may be removed or flagged for removal under any of the following conditions:
Exchange Delisting or Trading Halt Token is no longer available on key venues.
Sustained Liquidity Breach Failure to meet volume or slippage thresholds for 10+ consecutive days.
Eligibility Violation One or more inclusion thresholds is no longer met.
Regulatory Reclassification Token is newly officially classified as a security token by a competent regulator (e.g., SEC, ESMA, under MiCA) or faces an active enforcement action.
Protocol-Level Security Incident Including hacks, rug pulls, or critical smart-contract failures.
Discretionary Governance Exclusion: In rare cases, the index governance may vote to exclude a token that technically meets all eligibility criteria but presents a material concern, such as excessive centralization, ethical controversy (e.g. market manipulation), protocol abandonment despite sufficient liquidity, or emerging legal or reputational risks (e.g. team indictment or sanctions exposure).
Review & Grace Periods
Asset eligibility is reviewed quarterly, aligned with index rebalancing windows
Assets may be flagged and monitored before exclusion
A grace period of up to 30 days may be granted for non-critical breaches
Immediate exclusion in emergency scenarios to protect investor interest
These criteria ensure that OLTA indices maintain high standards of quality, reliability, and investability over time.
