TrueDigital’s product provides institutional-grade resources and real-time ‎information for those trading in cryptocurrency markets through a ‎standardized reference rate and spot price index.‎

CMT Digital, Blockfills, and QCP Capital join nine other cryptocurrency exchanges and trading platforms in providing pricing data for TrueDigital’s benchmark, including Genesis Global Trading, XBTO Group, Circle, DV Chain, Hehmeyer, and Altonomy, with more exchanges to be added over time.
