Starting June 9, shortly after 10 a.m. London time, a new suite of cryptocurrency pricing products will be officially introduced, pending regulatory review. The initiative aims to enhance the availability of transparent, robust, and reliable reference rates, offering clients better access to pricing data.
The new data will be accessible via the CME CF Cryptocurrency Pricing Market Data on channel 213 and through DataMine. A variety of products will be launched, each with specific publishing schedules.
Among the offerings is the CME CF Arbitrum-Dollar Real-Time Index (ARBUSD_RTI), which will be published daily approximately every second. Additionally, the CME CF Arbitrum-Dollar Reference Rate (ARBUSD_RR) will be provided shortly after 4 p.m. London time each day, even on weekends and holidays.

Another entry is the CME CF Ondo-Dollar Real-Time Index (ONDOUSD_RTI), with daily updates similar to the previous indices. The Ondo-Dollar Reference Rate (ONDOUSD_RR) will also be published after 4 p.m. London time each day, alongside its New York variant released after 4 p.m. New York time.
In addition, the CME CF Polkadot-Dollar Reference Rate – Hong Kong/Singapore Variant (DOTUSD_AP) will be published after 4 p.m. Hong Kong/Singapore time daily, providing geographical variations to the reference rates.
Lastly, the CME CF Sui-Dollar Real-Time Index (SUIUSD_RTI) will be updated daily every second, with its reference rate (SUIUSD_RR) available shortly after 4 p.m. London time, as well as a New York variant (SUIUSD_NY) to be published after 4 p.m. New York time.
