CME Group to launch 3 metaverse reference rates By Cointelegraph

[ad_1]


Derivatives marketplace CME Group (NASDAQ:) is planning to launch reference rates and real-time indexes for three metaverse crypto assets, allowing investors to track pricing data more reliably using a methodology commonly used in traditional finance.

Beginning Jan. 30, CME Group and CF Benchmarks will launch reference rates for Shards (AXS), Chiliz (CHZ) and Decentraland’s MANA (MANA), the company announced on Jan. 5. The reference rates and indexes are not tradeable products but instead can be used by investors to “price sector-specific portfolios, develop structured products […] and manage price risk around various Metaverse-based projects,” said Giovanni Vicioso, CME Group’s head of cryptocurrency products.
