PANews reported on December 10th that according to X user @stakenode_dev, CME CF has launched the New York reference rate for Polkadot (DOTUSD_NY Reference Rate), which calculates a standardized price during the Eastern Market hours (from 3 PM to 4 PM) daily. This move provides a transparent and reliable DOT pricing reference for institutions, traders, and analysts, marking an important step in integrating Polkadot into traditional financial markets.

CME Group's official Twitter account announced earlier that the CME CF Polkadot (DOT) reference rate's New York version is now live. This reference rate lays the foundation for future financial products linked to DOT (such as ETFs, derivatives, and risk management tools). Previously, the CME CF has successfully propelled BTC and ETH into the mainstream.

X user @Biz_R_ replied, stating that the CME CF New York reference rate currently covers six cryptocurrency assets: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Chainlink (LINK), Polygon (POL), and Polkadot (DOT).
