Kaiko is proud to support the launch of index perpetuals on Gemini Derivatives, the dedicated non-U.S. derivatives platform by Gemini.

As one of the few index perpetual products available to traders on centralized platforms, this offering fills a critical gap in the market by broadening diversification options for investors and enabling them to explore innovative trading strategies in a reliable and trusted environment.

As a regulated Benchmark Administrator under the EU BMR framework, Kaiko Indices are designed to meet the highest standards of transparency, reliability, and market representativeness.

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Gemini on this significant milestone. By supporting the launch of index perpetuals on their derivatives platform, we are proud to contribute to advancing innovation in the crypto markets. Our robust and transparent indices provide the foundation for these products, ensuring traders have reliable tools to diversify their strategies and explore new opportunities with confidence.”

The index perpetual contracts offered on Gemini Derivatives provide traders with an innovative way to gain exposure to curated baskets of crypto assets through a single contract. These products enable diversified trading strategies without the need to manage multiple positions, simplifying portfolio management while reducing risks associated with individual token movements. By capturing broader market trends and eliminating the complexity of holding the underlying assets, index perpetuals provide a streamlined and efficient avenue for traders to capitalize on market opportunities beyond single-asset contracts.

Kaiko built and designed the indices backing these products. Our crypto indices are designed to provide exposure to the largest and most liquid digital assets and therefore ensure maximum tradability. Our multi-asset indices utilize our unparalleled market data and are produced by crypto experts with total flexibility.

Neil Sheppard, Head of Derivatives at Gemini added We are thrilled to be able to expand our partnership with Kaiko through the launch of our index perpetuals, a significant step forward in enhancing our derivatives offering. This partnership underscores our commitment to providing innovative and high-quality trading opportunities for our users. With Kaiko’s reliable and transparent indices, we’re elevating our derivatives platform and opening new avenues for traders to diversify their strategies.”
