  The Coinbase Index is like a stock market index for cryptocurrencies. It helps investors understand how the overall market is performing by tracking the prices of a specific group of cryptocurrencies. It's similar to the S&P 500 or Dow Jones Industrial Average in the stock market. The index is calculated using a weighted average of the prices of the included cryptocurrencies, giving more weight to those with higher market capitalization. This allows investors to get a broad view of the market and make informed decisions.
