OpenDelta Launches OG30 – The Crypto Market in One Token
Marshall Islands, August 19, 2025 — OpenDelta, a protocol for creating crypto indices and structured products, today announced the beta launch of OG30, a tokenized index product backed 1:1 by the top 30 crypto assets by market capitalization. Available first on Solana, OG30 offers broad, diversified exposure to the market’s leading assets, similar to the role of the S&P 500 in traditional finance.
OG30 is launched in partnership with GMCI, the regulated index provider behind the GMCI30 methodology, and Wintermute, a leading market-making firm. The team behind OpenDelta is backed by 6th Man Ventures, Anagram, Anatoly Yakovenko (co-founder of Solana), and other prominent investors.
OG30 is the first product of its kind — bringing together 30 leading assets across more than 20 different blockchains into a single token.
The case for index investing is clear: most active traders and professional managers fail to consistently beat the market, while indices historically deliver better long-term results at lower cost. In crypto, the odds for active management are no better — and often worse.
Nick Schteringard, Co-Founder of OpenDelta: “Crypto has sold people a dangerous fantasy: that you can turn pocket change into millions overnight. Those viral screenshots of wallets supposedly turning memecoins into millions are misleading and drive unrealistic expectations. In fact, even professional active managers underperform BTC. It’s not a bug, it’s the system — they will keep losing against benchmarks. At OpenDelta, we believe most users are far better off with crypto-native indices — which is why we partnered with GMCI to bring their methodology on-chain, for the sake of common sense.”
OG30 simplifies access to the entire market, with over 80% of its weight in blue-chip assets such as BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, and XRP, while still capturing growth from the broader ecosystem. OG30 is fully composable across DeFi and bears no management fee.
Since January 2021, the GMCI30 benchmark has outperformed BTC over cycles, with lower volatility than most altcoins. OG30 applies the same approach on-chain with monthly rebalancing, systematically shedding underperforming assets and reallocating into stronger ones. Holders can also stake OG30 for yield, expected around 3% APY from secure blue-chip sources and protocol incentives. By combining diversification with reduced volatility, OG30 is positioned to become one of the premier collateral assets.
Konstantin Wunscher, Co-Founder of OpenDelta, added: "We are seeing a clear trend toward sector creation, with projects becoming increasingly uncorrelated. Just holding Bitcoin or Ethereum is not enough anymore for anyone who does not want to be left behind. Index investing remains the most powerful way for retail investors to gain sector-based or broad market exposure. With the right methodology, it is possible to outperform Bitcoin in bull markets while remaining less volatile. This is OG30. It is the first of a new generation of index products made possible only in DeFi. It is more affordable, always accessible, highly capital efficient, and deeply versatile as it can be used across the entire DeFi ecosystem.”
OG30 is initially live on Orca, with integrations into additional DeFi protocols and centralized exchanges planned in the coming weeks.
A points campaign is also being introduced for early adopters who mint, trade or stake OG30. Designed to reward early participation, points will allow OG30 holders to compete with each other on the points campaign leaderboard and earn unique rewards for completing weekly tasks.
As in traditional finance — where index funds now represent over 50% of all U.S. equity fund assets under management — passive, benchmark-style products are becoming the default for investors.
OG30 is designed to be that benchmark for digital assets.
