Marex crypto indices linked to Bitcoin and Ethereum have been added to Premialab’s analytics platform, giving its clients a way to evaluate systematic volatility strategies alongside other investments.

Key Takeaways

  • The two indices seek to capture the difference between implied and realised volatility.
  • Marex says the indices use Coinbase options and perpetual futures and support round-the-clock risk management.
  • The announcements do not disclose full index rules, performance figures or Premialab access terms.

How Marex crypto indices work

The Premialab addition follows Marex’s October 14, 2026 launch of the indices. The earlier Marex launch announcement describes one index focused on Bitcoin and another on Ethereum, both using a systematic, rules-based approach to volatility risk premia.

Implied volatility reflects expectations embedded in option prices, while realised volatility measures an asset’s actual price moves. The difference can provide a source of return, but it is not a fixed yield and can reverse during sharp market moves.

Marex says the indices use Bitcoin and Ethereum listed options and perpetual futures available through Coinbase. It also selected MSCI, through Compass Financial Technologies, as the independent index calculation agent and administrator.

What Premialab users can assess

Premialab says its platform supports due diligence and risk analysis across systematic strategies. The addition extends that coverage to digital assets, although the announcement does not specify whether clients can license the indices or access products referencing them.

The announcements do not provide full methodology rules, historical performance, fees or target returns. Marex says the indices are not available to retail investors and that investments in linked products carry a risk of loss.
