The team added that integration with the GMCI 30 feed and any of Pyth 540+ price feeds is permissionless. Thanks to this integration, DeFi applications can base their operations on the real-time price of the GM 30.

Pyth Network explained that GMCI is an index provider specializing in unique indices for the digital assets space. Cryptocurrency market indices with transparent methodologies are crucial as they help onboard investors, financial institutions, and market analysts to the Web3 capital markets. Indices also provide standardization to these newer markets, which paves the way for more sophisticated digital assets solutions.

The index offers a global snapshot of the cryptocurrency markets, capturing major cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH, and other major players in the ecosystem. 

GM30 helps investors easily track the performance of the leading cryptocurrencies while also evaluating the industry’s stability, sentiment, and growth trends.
