Risk-Managed Crypto Indices
IDX Insights, a research & development firm, announces the launch of a series of risk-managed indices for the crypto-assets space. The IDX Risk-Managed Bitcoin Index, IDX Risk-Managed Ethereum Index and the IDX Risk-Managed LargeCap Crypto Index are designed to provide dynamic exposure across crypto assets with the ability to go 100% to cash.
With the prospect of unprecedented money printing, increasing geo-political concerns and concerns over inflation investors are increasingly seeking exposure to crypto assets, and specifically, risk-managed exposures to crypto assets that seek to allow upside participation to the asset class with the ability to substantially protect against drawdowns.
Ben McMillan, co-founder and CIO of IDX Insights said "We've had a great relationship with S&P Dow Jones Indices over the years and are thrilled to be their first client to use them to calculate our risk-managed crypto indices. Particularly as this asset class gains further adoption, we continue to see increased demand for risk-managed solutions to this space. S&P Dow Jones' ability to provide real-time calculation of our indices provides a huge leap forward in our ability to deliver products in this space."
"We are pleased to be working with IDX to launch the first customized crypto indices from S&P Dow Jones Indices," said Marius Baumann Managing Director and Global Head of Custom Indices at S&P Dow Jones Indices. "We look forward to building out our relationship with them as they continue to bring rules-based managed exposures to the crypto-assets space."

AI is the Neat Handwriting of the Illiterate
A model in the hands of someone who has read the filing and walked the plant is a clerk. The same model, speaking for someone who has done neither, is a disguise. On AI slop, phantom citations and factslop, why finish stopped being evidence of work, and the containment layer KXCO built so a machine cannot speak as the institution until a source is attached.

Worthship: Do Not Conform to the Age
Worthship is the older English word for worship, and it means to ascribe worth. Bishop Robert Barron preached Romans 12 on 30 August. This essay follows the text into the prison letters, and puts two questions to a graph: do the four readings of that Sunday agree, and was Paul free or in chains when he wrote about despair?

The Truth in All Its Ugliness Must Survive
A majority vote does not determine the truth. Consensus is a mood, gossip is a sport, and a model will write the pretty version for free. Why the ugly number has to survive, why a record beats a dashboard, and what KXCO was built to keep standing when the room changes its mind.

Don't Be the Best, Be the Only: Winning in an AI World
AI is repricing competence downward. What it cannot reproduce is a life. The case for remaining non-fungible, why friction still produces the best ideas, and what it means to build AI systems that keep the human intellect in them.
