MSCI recently provided the latest statement regarding the compilation of indices related to digital asset companies. In simple terms, they changed their mind — they originally planned to remove these companies from the index, but now they have decided to keep them.

According to the new plan, by the index review in February 2026, this group of digital asset service companies will temporarily retain their positions and will not be removed from the MSCI Global Standard Index. This is a stable signal for the companies already included in the index.

However, MSCI has not completely let go, but has adopted a "freeze" restriction as a balance — maintaining the current constituents while managing risks through related constraints. This approach reflects the increasingly pragmatic attitude of global index providers when dealing with crypto asset companies.

Haha, MSCI's move is quite clever. They don't want to completely burn bridges, but they're also afraid of taking too much risk, so they just do a "freeze." Basically, they're betting that the crypto industry will become more regulated over time and aren't willing to cut ties completely.

Haha, MSCI has changed its tune again. I’m familiar with this routine. They neither dare to completely exclude nor truly embrace, so they just freeze it—typical fence-sitter. Let’s talk about 2026; who knows, it might change again.

Haha, MSCI has changed its tune again. This time they didn't kick it out but froze it instead. Steady is steady, but it feels pretty awkward. --- Freeze? Isn't that just wanting to have it both ways—wanting to keep it but afraid of being seen? --- After all this, it's still "Schrödinger's deletion." I really don't know what they're struggling with. --- So basically: keep it, but don't mess with it. This move is acceptable. --- MSCI has found a middle ground this time, neither offending traditional finance nor hard-pressing the crypto circle. Clever. --- Wait, freezing until 2026? That must be pretty uncomfortable for these two years. --- Want to keep it but also want to freeze it—it's really the "Schrödinger's attitude" of regulation. --- Honestly, this signal is quite contradictory. Staying is good, but being restricted everywhere is also annoying. --- So it's just a temporary compromise. Let's see what the subsequent policies bring. --- Anyway, don't expect MSCI to give a clear stance. Such ambiguity is the safest.
