Crypto.com joins CME CF Bitcoin indices

Expanding the CME CF cryptocurrency pricing network

With the addition of Crypto.com Exchange, CF Benchmarks’ Bitcoin and Ether indices will now source market data from eight CME CF Constituent Exchanges. This expansion enhances the accuracy of cryptocurrency benchmarks, ensuring they remain trusted references for institutional investors.

As a result of this integration, the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate (BRR) will reflect transaction data from markets covering over 98% of global BTC-USD trading, while the CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate (ETHUSD_RR) will cover 92% of global ETH-USD trading. These benchmarks are essential components of regulated financial products, including Bitcoin and Ether futures on CME Group and various exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Strengthening institutional crypto markets

CF Benchmarks CEO Sui Chung emphasized the need for precise and resilient pricing indices as institutional crypto products continue to expand:

"The past 12 months have witnessed explosive growth in crypto financial products, highlighted by the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs—one of the most successful debuts in U.S. capital markets history. As the crypto market evolves and new financial products emerge, integrating Crypto.com Exchange as our eighth CME CF Constituent Exchange enhances the accuracy and resilience of our benchmarks, ensuring they remain the trusted standard for investors."

Crypto.com’s growing institutional presence

Launched in 2019, Crypto.com Exchange is a high-performance trading platform offering spot, margin, and derivatives trading with deep liquidity and institutional-grade security. The exchange caters to advanced traders, providing competitive fees, sophisticated order types, and VIP programs.

Giuseppe Giuliani, Global Head of Exchange at Crypto.com, expressed pride in the platform’s inclusion in CF Benchmarks’ pricing network:

"Over the past two years, we have heavily invested in making Crypto.com Exchange the best possible crypto platform for institutional and advanced users. CF Benchmarks is the most respected and widely used index in the industry. Being included as a CME CF Constituent Exchange is a natural consequence of the hard work we have put into our offering and a statement of our leadership in institutional crypto trading."

CME Group endorses Crypto.com’s inclusion

CME Group, the world’s leading derivatives marketplace, also welcomed the addition of Crypto.com Exchange to its cryptocurrency indices. Giovanni Vicioso, Global Head of Cryptocurrency Products at CME Group, highlighted the importance of expanding reliable pricing sources:

"As the cryptocurrency market matures, more investors are seeking reliable investment instruments that offer transparent and trusted pricing. The inclusion of Crypto.com will add more depth and pricing accuracy to our trusted real-time indices and reference rates, which serve as benchmarks for market-leading Bitcoin and Ether futures."

Regulated and transparent crypto indices

CF Benchmarks remains the leading regulated cryptocurrency index provider, authorized by the UK FCA under the UK Benchmarks Regulation (UK BMR). The company provides fully replicable public methodologies and transparent governance for tracking, valuing, and managing risk in cryptocurrency products.

With this latest addition, CF Benchmarks continues to expand institutional access to digital assets, offering precise, regulation-compliant cryptocurrency benchmarks that serve as the foundation for the next generation of financial products.

Notably, Crypto.com recently announced that it has successfully obtained a full license under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).
