Eligibility & Selection Criteria

Defining the universe of eligible assets for OLTA Index Products.

OLTA applies a strict and transparent eligibility process to ensure that only high-quality assets are included in each Structured Index Product. These criteria are designed to protect investors, ensure regulatory defensibility, and maintain the integrity of the index methodology.

Eligibility Requirements

Regulatory & Legal

  • Asset Type Fungible, freely transferable, permissionless token (ERC-20 or equivalent).

  • Token StatusNot classified as a security under MiCA (EU), the SEC, or any comparable regulator.

  • Listing Status Listed on at least two reputable CEXs or liquid DEX pools with verifiable order-book depth.

Liquidity & Market Depth

  • Market Capitalisation ≥ $80 million USD (free-float adjusted).

  • Free Float ≥ 30 % of total supply publicly circulating.

  • 30-Day Average Daily Volume ≥ $4 million USD across eligible venues.

  • Slippage Tolerance ≤ 1 % for a $10 000 trade on a primary venue.

Pricing & Data Integrity

  • Pricing Reliability Real-time price feeds available through on-chain oracles or reputable DEX/CEX aggregators.

  • Data Availability Reliable market and on-chain data (volume, liquidity, supply) from multiple sources.

Protocol Maturity & Activity

  • Audit & Deployment Audited smart contracts, live mainnet deployment, and an identifiable team or DAO.

  • On-Chain Activity Meaningful usage metrics (active wallets, contract calls, staking participation).

  • Governance Visibility Public documentation of upgrade mechanics, treasury controls, and community channels.

Exceptions may be considered for thematic indices (e.g., RWA, AI) under specific governance approval.


Review & Maintenance

  • Assets are reviewed on a regular schedule, aligned with index rebalancing cycles.

  • A grace period may be applied to assets experiencing temporary breaches.

  • Emergency exclusions can be applied immediately if investor protection is at risk.


Notes on RWA & Security Tokens

OLTA reserves the right to launch separate thematic funds (e.g. RWA Sector Fund) to include security tokens or tokenized real-world assets. These funds would operate under stricter compliance controls and may be gated for institutional/professional access only.


Final Remarks

As more detailed in the Index Methodology Rulesbook, assets are re-evaluated on a regular basis, and eligibility does not guarantee long-term inclusion. This disciplined filtering process ensures that OLTA indices remain reliable, liquid, and representative of real market dynamics.
