| Market | Index      | Description                                         |
| ------ | ---------- | --------------------------------------------------- |

**Market hours:** 24/7/365 — continuous trading and pricing.

**External pricing:** index prices come from [Pyth](https://pyth.network) (primary) with a Hyperliquid-inspired weighted-median exchange fallback. See [External Pricing](/markets/crypto-indices/external-pricing.md).

**Off hours:** none — crypto markets trade 24/7, so there is no off-hours pricing.

**Methodology:** index construction, weighting, and rebalancing rules. See [Methodology](/markets/crypto-indices/methodology.md).
