Skip to main contentPrice Quotation
Prices are quoted in BTC per unit of the underlying. For example, if gold is trading around 3,000andBTCaround100,000, the GOLD/BTC contract might trade near 0.03 BTC. The minimum price increment (tick size) is set to a small fraction of BTC (e.g. 0.01 BTC) to allow fine price granularity.
Index Calculation
The Index Price is our best estimate of what the asset is truly worth across the global market. Every second, we compute it using a consolidated, multi-exchange approach designed to be resilient, accurate, and manipulation-resistant.
Each contract’s Index Price is derived from a composite index that blends a high-quality price feed of the underlying asset with a robust BTC/USD price feed:
-
The base asset’s price is sourced from reliable markets (via Databento and Pyth Network).
-
The BTC/USD price is calculated as a time-weighted average across Binance, Coinbase and Pyth Network.
-
To guard against outliers, any exchange feed that stales > 5 minutes is temporarily excluded until it prints a new price.
By blending multiple sources and applying strict price-protection rules, the Index Price reflects a broad market consensus and resists distortion from bad data or manipulation.
