Derivatives marketplace operator, CME Group, and cryptocurrency benchmark indices provider, CF Benchmarks, will launch three new Metaverse reference rates and real-time indices on January 30, the firms announced on Thursday.
The benchmarks, which will be calculated and published daily by CF Benchmarks, will provide “accurate and resilient pricing data” for tokens linked to the Axie Infinity (AXS), Chiliz (CHZ) and Decentraland (MANA) Metaverse-based platforms. The benchmarks will be published as non-tradable futures products, the firms said.
“Each of the new Axie Infinity, Chiliz, and Decentraland benchmarks will be calculated with pricing data from a minimum of two of these exchanges – Bitstamp, Coinbase, Gemini, itBit, Kraken, and LMAX Digital,” the firms disclosed in a statement, adding that the benchmarks will be based on “robust methodologies” and will be regularly vetted by experts.
