The CF Rolling CME Ether Futures Index replicates the returns of holding physical Ether through ETHUSD futures contracts, resulting in perpetual Ether price exposure to USD. The performance replication takes place through a portfolio of CME Ether Futures contracts that is adjusted monthly using an optimised roll strategy that is transparent and replicable. The index methodology is publicly accessible and facilitates the creation of derived works such as financial products by index users, including the creation of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and derivative contracts.
