Hedera Joins BTC and ETH as CME Launches HBAR Pricing Index

  • Analysts say standardized Hedera price data is critical for institutional adoption, enabling benchmarks, indices, and structured products.
  • Despite the infrastructure milestone, HBAR remains under selling pressure, correcting 4% amid market-wide correction.

The CME Group has made an official announcement that on December 29, it will be adding real-time price feeds for Hedera’s HBAR token. This is a major announcement coming from the world’s largest derivatives exchange. CME provides core market data infrastructure used by institutional investors, funds, and clearing members across regulated financial markets.

CME Group To Offer Hedera (HBAR) Price Feeds

Following the CME Group announcement, market observers said that the availability of real-time price data for HBAR will lead to greater institutional participation. It also allows the creation of benchmarks, indices, and structured products. Without standardized reference data, assets cannot be part of institutional trading, risk management, or investment frameworks. Commenting on this development, popular investor Mark Chadwick (@markchadwickx) noted via X:

However, note that the introduction of HBAR into CME’s data ecosystem does not signal the immediate launch of derivatives or near-term price action. This is the start of a preparatory phase that allows digital assets to become measurable, open to benchmarking, and compatible with institutional models.

Over the longer term, observers say the development could support liquidity and broader adoption for HBAR. It also follows the typical progression of institutional markets from data infrastructure to benchmarks, financial products, and eventually increased trading activity.

The CME Group also supports the trading of futures derivatives products for digital assets like XRP and Solana. It will be interesting to see if HBAR can make the cut. In a Hedera thread on Reddit, one user, Calms Storms, said: “It’s just a pricing feed. Morgan Stanley has one too. Reality is you want your coin listed on the CME. Not likely. Only 4 crypto coins have made the cut”.

HBAR Price Continues to Face Selling Pressure

Despite the CME Group development, the HBAR price continues to face selling pressure while being in the grip of bears. As of press time, the Hedera token is trading 4.3% down at $0.1139. Moreover, the surge in the daily trading volume shows that the selling pressure is intense.

Despite this, the Hedera Foundation has continued to make fresh partnerships. Last week, on Dec. 12, it integrated with Ownera, a distribution network used by financial institutions, to simplify access to tokenized real-world assets on Hedera for banks, broker-dealers, and asset managers, as reported by CNF.

Curve Finance votes on revenue-sharing model for CRV holders

The post Curve Finance votes on revenue-sharing model for CRV holders appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Curve Finance has proposed a new protocol called Yield Basis that would share revenue directly with CRV holders, marking a shift from one-off incentives to sustainable income. Summary Curve Finance has put forward a revenue-sharing protocol to give CRV holders sustainable income beyond emissions and fees. The plan would mint $60M in crvUSD to seed three Bitcoin liquidity pools (WBTC, cbBTC, tBTC), with 35–65% of revenue distributed to veCRV stakers. The DAO vote runs from up to Sept. 24, with the proposal seen as a major step to strengthen CRV tokenomics after past liquidity and governance challenges. Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov has introduced a proposal to give CRV token holders a more direct way to earn income, launching a system called Yield Basis that aims to turn the governance token into a sustainable, yield-bearing asset.  The proposal has been published on the Curve DAO (CRV) governance forum, with voting open until Sept. 24. A new model for CRV rewards Yield Basis is designed to distribute transparent and consistent returns to CRV holders who lock their tokens for veCRV governance rights. Unlike past incentive programs, which relied heavily on airdrops and emissions, the protocol channels income from Bitcoin-focused liquidity pools directly back to token holders. To start, Curve would mint $60 million worth of crvUSD, its over-collateralized stablecoin, with proceeds allocated across three pools — WBTC, cbBTC, and tBTC — each capped at $10 million. 25% of Yield Basis tokens would be reserved for the Curve ecosystem, and between 35% and 65% of Yield Basis’s revenue would be given to veCRV holders. By emphasizing Bitcoin (BTC) liquidity and offering yields without the short-term loss risks associated with automated market makers, the protocol hopes to draw in professional traders and institutions.
