CME Group Introduces New Multi-Asset Crypto Indices for Investors

CME Group is expanding its crypto benchmark offerings with the introduction of two new multi-asset indices developed in collaboration with CF Benchmarks. These indices are designed to provide investors with distinct measures of the broader cryptocurrency market.

Details of the New Indices

• CME CF Crypto Market Index: This index includes Bitcoin and Ether, aiming to capture broad market exposure.
• CME CF Emerging Crypto Index: Excluding Bitcoin and Ether, this index tracks emerging cryptocurrencies and other significant assets within the digital asset ecosystem.

Both indices feature real-time calculations and regional settlement options for London, New York, and the APAC region. The launch of these benchmarks is part of CME's ongoing commitment to provide standardized and regulated market-based pricing tools for institutional crypto trading and risk management.
