MSCI Blockchain Economy Index Rises 37.03% in 2025 as Crypto Benchmarks Decline

In 2025, the MSCI Blockchain Economy Index delivered a 37.03% net gain, its strongest result since 2023, while major crypto market indexes ended the year in the red. The equity-based benchmark, heavily exposed to tech, AI and US-listed blockchain-related stocks, outpaced both the MSCI World Index and S&P’s large-cap and broad digital asset gauges. Financial constituents such as Visa, Mastercard, Robinhood, PayPal and Coinbase showed mixed returns, with Robinhood’s 200% surge offsetting notable losses elsewhere.
