Our indices and spot rates are compiled from orderbook data from top cryptocurrency exchanges, giving a comprehensive and instantaneous price of aggregate demand for a cryptocurrency. They enable users to mark portfolios, manage risk with minimal chance of manipulation.

Reference Rates and Settlement Prices

Our Reference Rates and Settlement Prices are computed using transaction data from various cryptocurrency exchanges and are updated once a day every day of the year, powering all the Kraken Futures Contracts. The methodologies have been designed to minimize the possibility of manipulation and are the most trusted source of cryptocurrency benchmark pricing. The flagship CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate powers the CME Bitcoin - U.S. Dollar futures contract, the most liquid regulated cryptocurrency derivative instrument, traded on the world’s largest derivatives exchange.
