The Chicago Mercantile Exchange includes the Gemini exchange

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME Group) has announced that it will include the Gemini exchange as a reference platform for prices of four cryptocurrencies. CME Group launched the first two products based on cryptocurrency prices in November 2016. These are the standardized reference rate “CME CF Bitcoin Rate Rate” and the spot index “CME CF Bitcoin Real-Time”.

Both have been declared as important steps towards the professionalization of Bitcoin (BTC) transactions and the acceptance of the asset by traditional trading giants.

In March 2018, the Group launched two similar products for Ether (ETH). “Ether-Dollar CME CF Reference Rate” and “CME CF Ether Real-Time Index”. They were launched in partnership with the exchange platform dedicated to Crypto Facilities futures contracts in the UK.

Apart from Gemini, which will be included starting August 30, these indices derive their value from the prices of Bitstamp, Coinbase, itBit and Kraken exchanges. Coinbase is not mentioned in relation to the Ether products of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group.

In June this year, half a million traders using Reuters and Bloomberg financial terminals received access to a new AI index for the top 100 cryptocurrencies and tokens.
