Rates & Indices solutions

Our Rates & Indices serve as reliable benchmarks for financial professionals and product issuers. We offer ready-to-use reference rates for individual assets, BMR-compliant benchmark reference rates, and indices that group the top digital assets to gauge overall sentiment. We also provide customization options to create tailor-made indices and price rates that cater to your unique requirements. Our indices can be used to aid the issuance of derivatives contracts or investment vehicles by providing compliant pricing for settlement.

Benchmark Reference Rates

Our ready-to-go BMR-compliant rates for specific assets in the crypto market. Reference rates average the prices over a period of time to determine an average value and daily “close” prices (as crypto is 24/7, "close" prices are always synthetic). They can be used for several use cases from settlement of derivatives contracts to asset pricing and valuation.
