Pyth Network

The Pyth Network maintains its goal of providing global smart contract developers with access to financial data. In keeping with this perspective, the Oracle Network has introduced the <a href="https://pyth.network/price-feeds/crypto-index-gmci30-usd" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GMCI 30 Index Price Feed</a>, which gives more than 60 blockchain ecosystems access to the GMCI crypto market price index, also known as the “GM 30.”
Permissionless integration is available with the GMCI 30 feed and all Pyth 540+ price feeds. DeFi applications&nbsp;may operate based on the GM 30’s real-time price. This blog delves into the GM 30’s design, while Pyth broadens the index’s reach to include several blockchains.

Index provider <a href="https://www.gmci.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GMCI</a> specializes in creating one-of-a-kind indices for the digital assets sector. To facilitate the onboarding of investors, financial institutions, and market analysts into the Web3 capital markets, cryptocurrency market indices&nbsp;that follow clear procedures are essential. Additionally, indices&nbsp;provide <a href="https://pyth.network/blog/introducing-the-pyth-benchmarks" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">standardization to these emerging markets</a>, which opens the door for more complex digital asset solutions.
The GMCI 30 Index, often known as GM 30, was introduced by GMCI this year. It is an index that monitors the performance of the 30 biggest digital assets based on market capitalization. With the inclusion of both long-term market leaders and significant catalysts like Bitcoin and Ethereum, this index provides a worldwide view of the cryptocurrency markets. Market players may more readily monitor the performance of the top cryptocurrencies and assess the stability, sentiment, and growth patterns of the sector by using an index such as GM 30.
Maarten Botman, CEO of GMCI stated:
