Insights
CME Group's expansion to 28 cryptocurrency benchmarks strengthens its market position and enhances institutional crypto adoption.
CME Group's announcement of four new cryptocurrency reference rates and indices for Arbitrum, Ondo, NEAR, and Sui represents a significant expansion of their crypto benchmark offerings. This move increases their coverage to 28 cryptocurrencies, encompassing over 96% of the investible cryptocurrency market capitalization.
The strategic importance here is threefold. First, these benchmarks provide institutional-grade pricing data essential for portfolio valuation and structured product creation in the crypto space. Second, by applying the same methodologies used for their Bitcoin reference rates (which underpin over $100 billion in regulated crypto financial products), CME is extending trusted infrastructure to emerging tokens. Third, while these are not tradable futures products themselves, they establish the foundation for potential future derivative offerings.
The daily reference rates will provide official U.S. dollar pricing at 4 p.m. London time, with additional New York time (4 p.m.) rates for Ondo and Sui. The real-time indices updating every second create a continuous pricing mechanism critical for institutional trading operations.
This development continues CME Group's methodical approach to cryptocurrency market infrastructure. By leveraging their existing network of constituent exchanges (Bitstamp, Bullish, Coinbase, Crypto.com, Gemini, itBit, Kraken, and LMAX Digital), they're extending trusted price discovery mechanisms to additional assets while maintaining consistent methodology standards across their benchmark suite.
The expansion reflects growing institutional demand for reliable crypto pricing mechanisms and positions CME Group to further consolidate its role as the primary derivatives infrastructure provider bridging traditional finance and cryptocurrency markets.
These reference rates and indices are not tradable futures products.
"Our new benchmarks are designed to provide clear and transparent pricing data to a broad range of market participants, allowing them to more accurately value portfolios or create structured products," said Giovanni Vicioso, CME Group Global Head of Cryptocurrency Products. "With 28 cryptocurrencies in our suite of CME CF References Rates and Real-Time Indices, we will provide pricing benchmarks across more than
As with all existing CME CF Benchmark Reference Rates and Real-Time Indices, these new benchmarks will utilize pricing data from at least two of the current constituent exchanges for the CME CF Benchmark suite of reference rates and real-time indices, which include Bitstamp, Bullish, Coinbase, Crypto.com, Gemini, itBit, Kraken and LMAX Digital.
"As the range of investible crypto assets continues to evolve and grow, institutions need benchmarks they can trust—benchmarks that meet the same standards of accuracy, transparency, and governance they expect in traditional finance," said Sui Chung, CEO of CF Benchmarks. "The addition of Arbitrum, Ondo, NEAR, and Sui to the CME CF Single Asset Series ensures that market participants can engage with these emerging tokens using indices and reference rates built on the same robust methodologies as the BRR and BRRNY for Bitcoin, which underpin more than
