CME Group has added Ethena’s ENA token to its single-asset cryptocurrency benchmark suite, with daily publication of three regional U.S. dollar reference rates and corresponding real-time indices beginning August 24, 2026. The CME CF Ethena-Dollar Reference Rate tracks the London close under ENAUSD RR, while ENAUSD NY and ENAUSD AP cover the New York and APAC closes, each published at 4 p.m. local time and continuing on weekends and holidays. CF Benchmarks calculates the products from trades on eligible spot exchanges rather than a single venue. The tools are intended to support portfolio valuation, NAV calculations, risk controls and ENA-linked financial products, but CME’s announcement covers pricing benchmarks only and does not launch ENA futures, options or an ETF. The addition follows Ethena’s institutional expansion, including a $1 billion USDe lending facility with FalconX and BlackRock’s integration of USDe into Aladdin.
