CME Group Unveils Multi-Asset Crypto Indices with Market-Wide Visibility

The CME Group has introduced two new multi-asset crypto indices, providing market-wide visibility to the institutional infrastructure of the crypto industry. The indices, launched on August 31, 2026, are the CME CF Crypto Market Index and the CME CF Emerging Crypto Index.

The CME CF Crypto Market Index serves as a broad-market benchmark, with Bitcoin and Ether as its core constituents, weighted by free-float market capitalization. The CME CF Emerging Crypto Index explicitly excludes BTC and ETH, focusing on the next tier of digital assets.

Both indices draw from the CF Investible Universe, a standardized eligibility framework used across CF Benchmarks' single-asset products. Constituent data feeds come from regulated exchange sources, with both indices updating approximately every second, running continuously every day of the year.
