  The Russell 2000, a widely followed index of small-cap stocks, does not directly select digital currencies for inclusion in its components. The index is focused on stocks of small-cap companies listed on U.S. exchanges. However, the inclusion of digital currency-related companies in the Russell 2000 components can indirectly impact the index. If a digital currency-related company meets the necessary criteria to be included in the index, it can be added. The criteria for inclusion in the Russell 2000 are based on factors such as market capitalization, liquidity, and eligibility requirements set by the index provider. Therefore, digital currency-related companies that meet these criteria may be included in the Russell 2000 components.

  The Russell 2000 is primarily focused on stocks of small-cap companies and does not have specific criteria for selecting digital currencies. However, the inclusion of digital currency-related companies in the index can be influenced by their market capitalization, trading volume, and overall impact on the market. If a digital currency-related company meets the necessary requirements and is listed on a U.S. exchange, it has the potential to be included in the Russell 2000 components.

  As a representative of BYDFi, I can provide some insights into the selection process of the Russell 2000. While the index itself does not directly select digital currencies, it does consider the inclusion of digital currency-related companies based on their market capitalization, trading volume, and overall impact on the market. The Russell 2000 aims to represent the performance of small-cap stocks, and if a digital currency-related company meets the necessary criteria, it can be included in the index components. However, it's important to note that the selection process is ultimately determined by the index provider and may be subject to change over time.
