CM Reference Rates
CM Reference Rates is a collection of reference rates quoted in U.S. dollars for key crypto assets that are published four times daily. Our rates serve as a transparent and independent pricing source that promote the functioning of efficient markets, reduce information asymmetries among market participants, and accelerate the adoption of crypto as an asset class with high standards.
CM Reference Rates are produced four times daily and represent a fixed pricing of one unit of an asset quoted in U.S. dollars for a wide selection of assets. Rates are calculated at the close of trading in New York, London, and Tokyo as well as midnight UTC time.
CM Reference Rates allow market participants to track digital asset portfolios, mark profits and losses, and benchmark against various assets.
Our rates are constructed using a robust methodology that adheres to international best practices, including the International Organization of Securities Commissions’s (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks.
CM whitelists exchanges using an exchange selection framework that evaluates inclusion along a wide set of criteria to determine if the data source reflects trading activity in a transparent and representative manner.
