Changes to Input Data and Tickers for CME CF Polygon-Dollar indices
The Administrator announces input data and ticker changes for CME CF Polygon-Dollar Reference Rates, and CME CF Polygon-Dollar Real Time Indices.
This decision follows the upgrade of MATIC across the Polygon network on September 4th, 2024, which resulted in POL becoming the native token of the network.
The Administrator has since been observing POL-USD markets operated by CME CF Constituent Exchanges, and has determined that the correct price representation of Polygon is now the POL token.
To ensure CME CF Polygon-Dollar Reference Rates and Real Time Indices best represent Polygon in a robust and reliable manner, these benchmarks will transition to observing POL-USD markets as input data.
Accordingly, tickers for these benchmarks will transition to the POL designation on October 29th, 2024.
Constituent Exchange, Market, and ticker changes are summarised in the tables below.

Implementation Timeline
