Nasdaq and CME Relaunch Next-Generation Crypto Index for Regulated Market Exposure
Nasdaq and CME Group have unveiled a revamped Nasdaq CME Crypto Index, providing institutional investors with a transparent, multi-asset benchmark for digital assets. The collaboration leverages three decades of traditional market expertise to create a regulated framework for crypto exposure.
The index methodology emphasizes governance and transparency, drawing on CF Benchmarks' calculation infrastructure and vetted exchange data. Market participants gain access to credible pricing references that meet evolving regulatory standards.
This development signals growing institutionalization of crypto markets, enabling ETF creation, derivatives trading, and professional portfolio strategies. The partnership builds on previous successes with Nasdaq-100 Index futures and equity derivatives.
