About the CM Prices

The CM Reference Rates are published once a day, once an hour, once a minute, once a second, and once every 200 milliseconds and utilize volume-weighted median, time-weighted average, and inverse price variance-weighted median techniques. Common use cases for the CM Reference Rates include research, backtesting, calculating net asset value for investment funds, calculating closing prices for indexes or financial benchmarks, serving as a data source for on-chain price oracles, risk management, indicative intraday values for investment funds and financial benchmarks, and settling financial derivatives.

The CM Principal Market Prices are published once a day, once an hour, once a minute, and once a second and adhere to the guidelines regarding fair value measurement issued by the International Financial Reporting Standards and the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants, specifically standards IFRS 13 and FASB ASC 820. The Principal Market Prices identify a principal market for each asset and utilize the most recent price from this market. Common use cases are for fair value measurement, preparing financial statements, and calculating closing prices for indexes or financial benchmarks.

The CM Prices are designed to serve as a set of transparent and independent pricing sources that promote the functioning of efficient markets, reduce information asymmetries among market participants, facilitate trading in standardized contracts, and accelerate the adoption of cryptocurrencies as an asset class with the highest standards. The CM Prices are calculated using robust and resilient methodologies that are resistant to manipulation and adhere to international best practices for financial benchmarks, including the International Organization of Securities Commissions’ (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks. The Coin Metrics Oversight Committee (the “Oversight Committee”) and an independent governance structure protect the integrity of the CM Prices and ensure the CM Prices serve as a source of transparent and independent pricing.
