No, because that's not how an index works.

"The index level for CBI is calculated by dividing the sum of the current USD market capitalizations of all constituent assets by the Divisor and multiplying the result by 100."

In particular the reconstitution variable:

"CBI will be reconstituted each time that a new asset is listed on GDAX, in order to allocate the correct weight to each constituent asset and to prevent an artificial increase in the index level. Each reconstitution will occur at 5pm Pacific Time on the fifth day that the new asset is traded on GDAX. This is designed to reduce the effect of any temporary price volatility in the new asset in the first few trading days after its listing."
