CME Group launches two new multi-asset crypto indices
The indices offer real-time pricing and regional settlement benchmarks, including London, New York and APAC versions.
CME Group is expanding its crypto benchmark offering with two new multi-asset indices developed with CF Benchmarks, giving investors separate gauges for the broader crypto market and assets outside Bitcoin and Ether.
The CME CF Crypto Market Index includes Bitcoin and Ether and is designed to capture broad market exposure. The CME CF Emerging Crypto Index excludes both assets, instead tracking emerging crypto and other significant assets across the digital asset ecosystem.
Both indices are available with real-time calculations and regional settlement variants covering London, New York and APAC, according to CME. The benchmarks are part of CME’s ongoing effort to provide standardized, regulated-market-based pricing and tools for institutional crypto trading and risk management.
