Powered by an eleven-year record of near-instant settlement and sub-penny fees, XRP has grown from a niche remittance rail into a large-cap, liquid macro asset with over 1,000,000 custody wallets and coverage for 90% of the Global FX market. It now ranks fourth by market capitalization, trades on every major spot and derivatives venue, and boasts one of the loudest, most ravenous followings in crypto — the XRP Army. Institutions lean on it as a neutral bridge between fiat rails, while trading desks use it for high-beta exposure to the payments theme. Yet despite the churn of option flow on XRP, the market still lacked a single, trusted yardstick for pricing its risk, until now.

Today, Volmex is thrilled to roll out the XRP Volmex Implied Volatility (XVIV) Indices — the first real-time benchmarks that translate raw XRP option flow into a single, transparent volatility print the whole market can price off.

XVIV distills live option-surface pricing into a single, transparent reference index, giving traders, market makers, and funds a clear north-star for pricing and trading XRP volatility.

By delivering one intuitive benchmark for XRP implied volatility, XVIV filters out the noise, letting the market dictate precise, accurate volatility levels. When XRP moves, it moves fast, and Volmex’s XVIV Indices update in real-time to ensure reliable, up to date pricing around the clock.

XVIV debuts in two slices of the volatility curve, capturing 24-hour risk and seven-day risk, respectively:

• XVIV 1D: the overnight pulse, allowing traders to get long cheap XRP gamma or harvest short-term volatility.
• XVIV 7D: a compass for swing traders, distilling a full week of vega so desks can structure carry trades, roll hedges, or lean into momentum with conviction.

XVIV will serve as an invaluable tool in the XRP Army’s arsenal.

The Bitcoin Volmex Prime Rate Index (BVPR) and Ethereum Volmex Prime Rate Index (EVPR) standardize crypto's cost of capital, offering transparent, single rates reflecting onchain USD-stablecoin borrowing rates and derivatives market dynamics for both BTC and ETH. The Volmex Labs team is composed of world-class talent from various crypto and traditional financial industry companies, including IMC Trading, Staked (acq. by Kraken), and more.

The founding vision of Solana was NASDAQ onchain, yet, until now, it never had a single, trusted yardstick for the cost of capital. Today, Volmex is thrilled to roll out the Solana Volmex Prime Rate Index (SVPR), the definitive benchmark for Solana’s cost of capital. SVPR distills on-chain USD-stablecoin borrowing activity and SOL perpetual futures funding into one transparent, market-driven rate, giving builders, traders, and treasuries a clear north-star for pricing risk on Solana.

Disparate lending APYs and perpetual funding rates across exchanges obscure true funding costs. By delivering a single, intuitive benchmark for SOL interest rates, SVPR filters out the noise, letting the market converge on a clear fair rate. Volmex’s SVPR Indices update in real-time, setting the table for yield product innovation on a chain optimized for speed and composability. Solana moves fast. Now its benchmark rates do too.

Historically, trading desks have pieced together APYs from disparate protocols, while perps traders eyeballed funding prints on disparate exchanges. SVPR fixes this issue. The Solana Volmex Prime Rate Index is the first unified benchmark for Solana credit.

SVPR is built on two complementary components:

• Solana Volmex DeFi Lending Rate (SDLR) Index: Gauge liquidity and sentiment by tracking lending dynamics on Solana. At launch we’re pulling data from @KaminoFinance, @save_finance, and @DriftProtocol

• Solana Funding Rate Index (SFR) Index: SOL perpetual-swap funding across leading venues.

VPR Indices, the BVPR Index (Bitcoin Volmex Prime Rate) and EVPR Index (Ethereum Volmex Prime Rate), tackle a major challenge: the lack of a unified benchmark for capital pricing. Disjointed data makes it tough for borrowers, lenders, and developers to assess real-time leverage costs, causing inefficiencies like delayed capital allocation, unclear risk, and institutional barriers. Without a standard reference rate, crypto's capital costs remain undefined, constraining the ecosystem.

The Volmex Prime Rate (VPR) Indices consolidate the crypto industry's diverse cost of capital into a single benchmark. The VPR Indices aggregates stablecoin lending yields from top protocols like Morpho, Aave, and Compound, weighted by volume, ensuring accuracy. The VPR Indices also include BTC and ETH perpetual funding rates, capturing leveraged shorts and market sentiment.

Updated in real-time, the VPR Indices simplifies rate comparisons across protocols for borrowers and provides a market baseline for lenders. Developers can leverage it for innovations like fixed-rate loans and automated strategies. This comprehensive view of crypto's capital cost empowers users to make swift, informed decisions.

How the VPR Indices work

The VPR Indices standardize crypto's cost of capital, offering transparent, single rates reflecting onchain borrowing and derivatives market dynamics for both BTC and ETH. The VPR Indices consist of two components:

• Volmex DeFi Lending Rate (DLR) Indices: Provides insights into market sentiment and liquidity by analyzing protocol dynamics. Lending protocols supported at launch are @MorphoLabs, @aave, and @compoundfinance. Available Indices: Bitcoin Volmex DeFi Lending Rate Index (BDLR) and Ethereum Volmex DeFi Lending Rate Index (EDLR)

• Volmex Funding Rate (FR) Indices: Track perpetual futures funding rates for BTC and ETH. Available Indices: Bitcoin Funding Rate Index (BFR) and Ethereum Funding Rate Index (EFR)
