What is the Coinbase Store of Value Index?

It's a benchmark tracking Bitcoin and PAXG, weighted by inverse volatility, rebalanced quarterly for wealth preservation exposure.

Does this mean Bitcoin is no longer digital gold?

Not quite — but it admits BTC needs gold's stability to credibly claim store-of-value status amid recent risk correlations.

Can I invest in this index directly?

Not yet; it's a benchmark. Expect linked ETFs or funds from Coinbase Asset Management soon.
