1) In general it's not obvious what should be in a DeFi index! twitter.com/tarunchitra/st The new FTX index is: LINK, UNI, AAVE, YFI, SNX, SRM, RUNE, CRV, BAL, COMP, MKR, ZRX, MTA, WNXM, KNC, CREAM, SUSHI, REN, REP, BAND, SOL, AVAX, TOMO, SWRV, DOT

A good interview question for an index rebalance trader: How much will $DEFI's addition of a non-ERC-20 asset cause dislocation in the correlation between FTX's $DEFI and @defipulse's DPI? Can you estimate how the acquisition cost difference (liquidity diffs.) will mkt impact? twitter.com/avalancheavax/…

2) This rebalance is going from a fairly narrow index (blue-chip ETH DeFi protocols) to a more broad one: --blue-chip ETH DeFi (LINK, UNI, YFI, etc.) --popular forks (SUSHI, CREAM, SWRV, etc.) --DeFi on other chains (SOL, SRM, AVAX, DOT, TOMO, etc.)

3) In general I think larger indexes tend to be good: when people say 'how is DeFi' they tend to mean that pretty broadly. Similarly, ALT added LINK/DOT/ADA/TRX, and MID added a number of DeFi tokens.

Small indexes are also pretty cool IMO. For example, I really wanted to long your privacy coin index a couple weeks ago, saw that half of the index wasn't to my liking, and decided to get exposure elsewhere. Index with select good coins > Index with a lot of coins + trash IMO
