Cryptoindex AMA Session

Hello r/CryptoCurrency!
I’m thrilled to introduce two very special guests joining us for today’s CryptoIndex.com AMA, where we’ll explore the rise of on-chain indexing, data-driven investing, and how the future of crypto portfolios is being reshaped — both for institutions and retail investors.
First up is Eric Benz, a true pioneer of digital finance.
Eric is the former co-founder of FlashyCash, a platform bridging stocks and crypto trading. He’s also a seasoned VC and institutional investor, known for scaling multiple Web3 ventures to millions in revenue. Few people understand how to bring legacy money into crypto like Eric does.
He’s worked at the intersection of crypto infrastructure, exchanges, and early-stage venture capital — and he’s here to talk about why indexes may be the killer app for onboarding the next generation of Web3 capital.
Joining him is Pavel Solovyev, CEO of CryptoIndex.com and a veteran with over 20 years of experience across global financial markets.
Pavel’s career spans stock exchanges, derivatives, OTC platforms, and index data infrastructure. He led projects for OTC trade repositories, headed the ISDA FpML Working Group, and helped architect crypto exchanges, arbitrage bots, and liquidity routing systems.
Now, he’s leading CryptoIndex — a platform that’s taking the best of TradFi indexing and combining it with the transparency and composability of DeFi. He’ll be sharing how their real-time dashboard tracks 49 curated indexes, and what the roadmap looks like as they scale into AI, staking, and institutional-grade index tools.
📅 We’ll be answering your questions for the next 24 hours — drop them below and ask us anything about crypto indexes, market analytics, token launches, or building the next wave of Web3 infrastructure.
Let’s go! 🔥

Keeta ($KTA) about to make history today with a 10m TPs audited stress test
Keeta ($KTA) is a new L1 that is backed by ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt who was an early investor in the company, putting $17m towards it.
The CTO is one of the greatest minds in the crypto space, Roy Keene, who was a lead developer for NANO when it was first released.
Today at 12pm EST, Keeta is performing a 10 million TPS audited stress test, with the assistance the Google Spanner engineering team. This will be a world record and will completely dwarf anything that has come before it.
Keeta is designed to be a high performance chain for cross chain transactions and asset tokenisation. Adoption of cryptocurrency by the global financial system has been difficult due to the regulatory requirements on banks and large institutions. To ensure compliance is met, Keeta will have built in KYC which will allow adoption to happen at a global level.
Testnet has been up and running for over a month now, and Mainnet is coming within the next month or so. Market cap is only $500m right now, and if things play out the way they are planned, it has the potential to be a top 10 coin within the next year.
There are a lot of doubters out there at the moment, but today’s stress test will put those doubts to bed when we will all be able to see that the technology is real.
Edit: YouTube link for the live-streamed stress test today: https://www.youtube.com/live/6FLmSgWewyk?feature=shared

Why is Canada being blacklisted from so many exchanges?
It’s getting exhausting. I’m the type that just buys and leaves things on various exchanges. It’s never enough to warrant putting in a personal wallet. Since the last bull run. I’ve had to move my crypto from binance, kucoin, mexc and today I just got an email saying uphold is no longer accepting Canadians.
So I’m constantly having to consolidate my options on where to send things and my buying options are diminishing greatly. I’m sure there’s been so many other exchanges I’m not even on that have followed this route.
Why are so many exchanges not wanting Canadian customers since the last bull run? If you’re Canadian are you just using Canadian exchanges at this point? The Canadian ones don’t ever have a good selection of the alts I’m into. What’s the deal?

Alt coin funeral.
This cycle is the end for alt coins.
Not the end as in they’re all going to be moot. But the end as in an incredible number of people, especially those who’ve made it through 2 cycles, are going all in on bitcoin after the winter.
The tides are changing and it turns out the bitcoin maxis have been right all along.
There are an infinite number of alt coins, but there’s only 1 bitcoin.
Every year there will be new alt coins fighting for a 10 ten spot. All it’ll do is further dilute the alt coin market cap. People will be burned out with trading and pivot towards long term investment, and there’s only 1 place where it makes sense to park your investment.
Bitcoin.
I’m balls deep in alts. I have almost no bitcoin. But I’m realizing I’m tired of the game. Sick of hoping I choose the right altcoins only for 75% of them to flop around for years.
It’s not worth the mental energy. I’d be better off parking in bitcoin, DCA over the course of 10 years, then hope that every 4 years I have a chance of making life changing money.
The hype trains will continue but most will ride to the top then ride it back down. And it’s not that I don’t believe in advanced decentralized tech. I just don’t believe that in the long run, the average person will make out like a bandit relative to just DCA into bitcoin indefinitely.
Alts will dilute indefinitely. Bitcoin will grow against the dollar indefinitely. Better to spend the mental energy finding ways to fiat mine to buy bitcoin than finding ways to hit the lottery in the alt coin market.
