Crypto exchange Crypto.com will soon power real-time indices and reference rates for Bitcoin and Ethereum markets

This comes as CF Benchmarks, a crypto indices provider regulated by the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority, has added Crypto.com as a constituent exchange.

Crypto exchange Crypto.com will see its market data integrated into real-time indices and reference rates for Bitcoin and Ethereum markets, as part of changes to be made by early next year.

This comes as crypto indices provider CF Benchmarks, which is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom, has added Crypto.com as a constituent exchange.

As of March 31, 2025, Crypto.com will be a CME CF constituent exchange, providing its high-quality market data across three CME CF indices, according to details shared by the benchmark administrator.

Crypto.com’s market data will be used to power CF Benchmarks’ suite of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) indices.

With this addition, CF Benchmarks’ number of constituent exchanges increases to eight, with the full list including Bitstamp, Coinbase, Gemini, itBit, Kraken, Bullish, and LMAX Digital.

“We are excited for the addition of Crypto.com to our CME CF Bitcoin and Ether indices,” said Giovanni Vicioso, global head of cryptocurrency products at CME Group (CME).

As the adoption of crypto continues amid rapid market growth, investors are increasingly seeking out investment instruments that offer reliable, transparent and trusted pricing.

Vicioso added: “The addition 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.”

Crypto.com’s data will now support CME CF’s crypto pricing across key industry products, including spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds and crypto derivatives offered by CME Group.

Among spot ETFs, the affected products include those from BlackRock (NYSE:BLK), Ark Invest, Bitwise and WisdomTree (NYSE:WMT).

CF Benchmarks’ eight exchange partners account for 98% of global BTC-U.S. dollar trading and 92% of ETH-U.S. dollar trading.

Crypto.com launched its Crypto.com Exchange in 2019 and has rapidly become one of the world’s largest regulated crypto exchanges.

In addition to spot, margin, and crypto derivatives trading, the exchange provides custody solutions and has been expanding its global footprint through key acquisitions, including in the United Arab Emirates. The exchange has also received a full license under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto Assets regulation, further solidifying its compliance in global markets.
