icETH Proves Resilient Despite Market Volatility
The Interest-compounding ETH Index (icETH) enhances the effective return of ETH staking rewards by leveraging a liquid staking strategy. Through a tumultuous bear market and sweeping upgrades to the Ethereum ecosystem, 2022 has tested icETH. Nevertheless, icETH has recently returned APYs, ranging from 8.4% to 26.9%.

Watch Our Live Event With The Tie
The Tie Index Coop joined The Tie on LinkedIn Live to discuss “Investing in Indices: Structured Products in DeFi.” As the complexity and success of DeFi rises, with regulation unable to keep pace, we will look to answer a few questions:
-How can customers & institutions gain thoughtful and safe access to DeFi products? -How do index/ecosystem product operators decide on offerings? -How can crypto create valuable diversified products, despite its youth?
Update: Progress on Product Deprecation
Last week, our engineering team started Phase 2 of deprecating several products, including the Bankless DeFi Innovation Index (GMI), Market Neutral Yield ETH (MNYe), Web3 Data Economy Index (DATA), and the suite of Polygon FLIs (ETH2x-FLI-P, BTC2x-FLI-P, Matic2x-FLI-P, iETH-FLI-P, iBTC-FLI-P, iMatic-FLI-P).
As of Wednesday morning, DATA and all FLI products are rebalanced into their single asset. Rebalances of GMI and MNYe are ongoing, and our target is to finish this week.
Those holding these tokens should trade or redeem by December 27, before active support ends, and holders are required to redeem manually via smart contract interaction only.
For those needing help with the next step, visit us in Discord. Rebalances on DATA, GMI, and MNYe will happen later this week.
