The Sun does not trade. It has never traded. It does not need to. Every other asset in this index orbits it, which analysts describe as "significant market dominance."
“Our Sun is a 4.5 billion-year-old yellow dwarf star – a hot glowing ball of hydrogen and helium – at the center of our solar system.”
Eight planetary assets, listed by distance from the reserve. METHODOLOGY: one index point equals one Earth day of orbital period. This is objective. Astronomers checked.
† Ticker $JUP was unavailable. A decentralized exchange got there first. The Index is not angry.
‡ Assets with a verified registry address trade at market price instead of committee valuation. The committee is displeased.
§ Market capitalization of unlisted bodies is denominated in kilograms. The committee finds this more honest.
Verified natural satellites. Exposure to a planet without buying the planet. SETTLEMENT: tidally locked.
…and 180 more. Verification pending since 1610.
Between $MARS and $JPTR† sits everything else. The Index does not verify Belt assets. There are over one million of them. Nobody checks. RISK RATING: ROCK.
$PLUTO · LISTED 1930 — DELISTED 2006 · FINAL PRINT: 90,560.00
Seventy-six years of clean price history. Then, at a conference in Prague, 424 astronomers voted it off the index. Pluto was not present. It was 5 billion kilometers away, orbiting, as agreed.
No exploit. No exit scam. Just a committee, a show of hands, and a new definition of the word "planet" applied retroactively. Holders received a dwarf-planet designation and no compensation.
Still orbiting. Still round. Still has five loyal moons. Pluto has not missed a single orbit since delisting — a level of post-rug conduct no other asset has matched. You can land on it. It appreciates visitors.
Still orbiting. Nobody watching. NEVER FORGET · 1930 – 2006
“Pluto is a complex and mysterious world with mountains, valleys, plains, craters, and glaciers. It is located in the distant Kuiper Belt.” — NASA, STILL WRITING ABOUT IT. DELISTED, NOT FORGOTTEN.
One token representing the entire star system. Zero utility — literally. It is mostly vacuum.
