Nasdaq and CME Group have joined forces to establish a unified benchmark known as the Nasdaq-CME Crypto Index, consolidating their previous separate methodologies into one standardized measure. This move signals growing institutional focus on crypto price discovery.

On the product front, GrayScale has expanded its offerings by registering BNB and Hyperliquid ETF trusts in Delaware, broadening access to alternative assets.
