CF Benchmarks has become the first cryptocurrency index provider to be recognized as a Benchmark Administrator under the European Benchmarks Regulation (EU BMR).

The U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) authorized CF Benchmarks as an administrator on Friday, affirming that financial institutions can use the company’s indices in any European financial products after the BMR takes full effect on Jan. 1, 2020.

Sui Chung, CEO of CF Benchmarks – which notably provides the indices used by CME Group for its bitcoin futures contract – told CoinDesk that this marks a first for cryptocurrency companies in the EU.

“Here in Europe the use of indices and provision of indices is regulated, so for all regulated firms in Europe if they use a benchmark then they have to make sure that it comes from a regulated benchmark provider,” he explained.

The regulatory scope for benchmarks in the EU for financial institutions is “very broad,” Chung said, noting that large banks and asset managers use indices for a number of purposes.

“They’re all captured, all in scope of regulatory requirements, and this will come into full force in January 2020,” he said.

For example, any fund manager looking to issue an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks an index must track a regulated index.

Chung said:

“There are a lot of regulated firms – there was a potential stumbling block for them if they did want to consider issuing products referencing cryptocurrency indices because they had to make sure if they wanted to market on Jan. 1 2020 [that they used a regulated index].”

While Chung said he could not name any specific companies at this stage, he has heard from firms interested in launching products which would track an index in the coming months.

Moreover, CF Benchmarks will maintain this license even if the U.K. exits the EU in the next few months, Chung said.

“Even in a Brexit scenario this particular piece of financial regulation has equivalency status between the U.K. and Europe,” he said.
