New York, March 12, 2024 – Lukka, the global leader in institutional-grade digital asset data, software and compliance, has partnered with CoinDesk Indices to integrate the Composite Ether Staking Rate (CESR)® into its offerings, further expanding its industry-leading coverage. With the addition of CESR®, Lukka strengthens its position as the most comprehensive provider of institutional crypto data, ensuring its clients continue to have access to the most precise, transparent, and standardized digital asset information available.
“Our collaboration with CoinFund on CESR delivers a critical benchmark for Ethereum staking, offering institutions a trusted and standardized rate,” said Alan Campbell, President at CoinDesk Indices. “Partnering with Lukka ensures that CESR reaches the market through an institutional-grade data infrastructure, reinforcing its value as a settlement rate and analytical tool for the Ethereum ecosystem.”
