Coin Metrics Supplying Crypto Pricing Data for GMCI

BOSTON (May 16, 2024) – Coin Metrics, the leading provider of crypto financial intelligence, is pleased to announce that it is supplying its premium reference rate data to GMCI, a new venture aiming to provide the most robust financial services and index products to the crypto asset management community.

GMCI, which is a joint venture between Wintermute and The Block, deploys Coin Metrics’ institutional-grade reference rates to power indices with accurate and transparent digital asset pricing. These Coin Metrics-backed indices include GMCI’s flagship product, GMCI 30, which tracks the price performance of the top 30 crypto assets to help crypto and TradFi investors evaluate their returns, broader market performance, and manage risk. 

“Coin Metrics has been proud to support GMCI with our reference rates from day one due to our shared belief in the importance of robust and reliable pricing data,” said Tim Rice, co-founding CEO of Coin Metrics. “Together, we’re pioneering the next frontier of data-driven digital asset insights, empowering investors with the tools they need to navigate the dynamic crypto landscape with confidence.”

In addition to providing live pricing data, Coin Metrics serves as a 3rd party calculation agent for GMCI to ensure compliance with exchange requirements. Earlier this month, crypto exchange WOO X listed three GMCI Index Perpetual Contracts, becoming the first centralized crypto exchange to launch GMCI L2 and GMCI Meme indices, in addition to GMCI 30. Along with WOO, the Indices have now also been listed on Vertex Protocol
