CoinAPI: Crypto Index | VWAP & PRIMKT Indexes | Cryptocurrency Indexes Real-time and historical ...

CoinAPI's Crypto Index Feed delivers two powerful market benchmarks: VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) and PRIMKT (Principal Market Price) indexes. Updated every 100ms across 350+ exchanges, these institutional-grade indexes provide essential price discovery tools meeting diverse market needs.

The VWAP index aggregates 24-hour trading activity, weighting prices by volume across multiple exchanges to deliver a comprehensive market view. This methodology captures true market dynamics by incorporating both price movements and trading liquidity, providing a reliable benchmark for trading decisions and portfolio valuations.

The PRIMKT index focuses on principal trading venues with the highest volumes for each asset pair, offering precise price discovery at any given moment. Designed to meet IFRS 13 and FASB ASC 820 standards, it serves as a compliant benchmark for fair value measurement and financial reporting. This makes it particularly valuable for institutions requiring standards-compliant valuations and financial statements.
