Weighting & Cap Rules

To ensure balanced exposure and mitigate concentration risk, OLTA indices apply a defined weighting methodology with optional capping mechanisms.

Weighting Methods

OLTA supports three primary approaches, selected per index mandate:

Method
Description

Market-Cap

Weights are proportional to adjusted market capitalization (post-FFF).

Equal Weight

All assets receive equal weight regardless of size

Custom Weight

Weights based on thematic, volatility, liquidity or other protocol metrics

Custom Weight may be preferred among the strategies.

Example – Custom Weight

Liquidity-Adjusted Weighting

Weight Calculation:

wi=MCi×V30d,ij=1NMCj×V30d,j,wi<0.35 w_i = \dfrac{MC_i \times V_{30\text{d},i}} {\displaystyle \sum_{j=1}^{N} MC_j \times V_{30\text{d},j}}, \qquad w_i < 0.35

wheres

  • w i : final weight of asset i in the index (fraction, 0 – 1)

  • MCi : circulating market capitalization of asset i (USD)

  • V 30d,i : 30‑day average daily trading volume of asset i (USD)

  • N : number of constituents in the index

The weights are scaled so that the sum of all w i equals 1, with each w i capped at 35% (<0. 35 ).


Capping Rules

To prevent overconcentration in any single asset, OLTA applies optional caps at the constituent level:

Cap Type
Default Limit
Notes

Single Asset Cap

35% max

No asset may exceed 35% of the index by weight

Sector Cap

Optional

May apply to thematic indices (e.g., L2s, RWA)

Stablecoin Cap

15% max

To maintain active exposure to market assets

Custom caps may be enforced for specific index objectives and will be disclosed in the prospectus
