Coin Metrics is pleased to announce the version 2.11 release of our Hourly Reference Rates and version 0.11 release of our Real-Time Reference Rates. Updated methodology documents for both products can be found here.
Coin Metrics produces the CM Reference Rates, a collection of prices quoted in U.S. dollars and other currencies published once per hour and once per second for a set of cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies.
This release includes a regularly scheduled reconstitution of the constituent markets for all assets, a modification of the methodology regarding the eligible markets that are considered to serve as constituent markets, the addition of several additional cryptocurrencies to our coverage universe and some terminations to our coverage universe.
Reconstitution of Constituent Markets
The constituent markets that serve as the input data source for the calculation of the reference rates for each asset was refreshed on January 21, 2022 as part of a regularly scheduled quarterly review. During each quarterly review our Market Selection Framework is applied and the highest scoring markets are selected for each asset.
Methodology Changes
The section “Data Inputs”, subsections “Other Cryptocurrencies Excluding Stablecoins” and “Stablecoins”, was modified to consider markets quoted in USD Coin or Tether to serve as constituent markets. The methodology change was implemented after evaluating the volume market share for quote assets. Stablecoin market share continues to grow and a growing number of assets trade exclusively in stablecoin pairs. Our new methodology will always attempt to select high quality markets quoted in U.S. dollars, Bitcoin, or Ethereum first before considering markets quoted in USD Coin or Tether. A total of 266 out of the 464 assets in our coverage universe include one or more stablecoin constituent markets.
