CoinDesk Overnight Rates (CDOR) to Support Stablecoin Money Markets based on Aave
NEW YORK, June 17, 2025 /CNW/ -- CoinDesk Indices, a leading provider of digital-asset benchmarks, in collaboration with Sentora, a pioneer in institutional DeFi solutions, today announced the launch of CoinDesk Overnight Rates (CDOR), the first benchmark interest rates that draw upon Aave's lending pools to provide standardized overnight rates for major stablecoins.
CDOR to Support Industry Growth
CDOR rates are designed to support markets for hedging funding costs, securing yields, and developing cross-currency rate strategies. Calculated and published daily, these rates are accessible to exchanges, market makers, protocol treasuries, and structured-product desks.
Stani Kulechov, Founder of Aave Labs says,"CDOR is a new benchmark interest rate built on Aave's deep onchain liquidity. It provides a transparent, risk-free lending rate that unlocks new use cases for stablecoins, such as derivatives and fixed-income products, enabling more efficient, scalable, and automated financial markets."
The first CDOR rates utilize activity on Aave v3's Core variable borrow pools for USDC and USDT. CoinDesk Indices has released a methodology that converts this on-chain activity into a historical daily (or "overnight") rate that can be aggregated over longer periods. These pools, whose rates react instantly to changes to supply and demand, are important facilities in decentralized finance that reflect activity of a large population of borrowers and lenders.
Andy Baehr, CFA, Head of Product and Research, CoinDesk Indices says "Stablecoins are expected to grow into the trillions, but there is no institutional-grade money market for trading and hedging term rates. CDOR rates provide a cornerstone element for the stablecoin rates markets, using the same conventions as TradFi benchmarks, which support the largest derivatives markets in the world."
Anthony DeMartino, CEO, Sentora says, "Sentora's mission is to make on-chain finance as efficient as traditional finance. With CDOR rates you can switch from floating to fixed funding, or speculate on the curve, in a single, capital-efficient trade; a crucial building block that's been missing for years. These rates will enable new DeFi use cases and Sentora is happy to support the evolution of capital markets on-chain."
Liquidity Providers Signal Support for CDOR
Exchange-traded futures contracts, currently under development, will settle against CDOR rates and will provide market participants with new and powerful tools for risk management and strategy implementation. Galaxy, FalconX, Flowdesk and Tyr Capital will act as founding market makers.
Ed Hindi, CIO, Tyr Capital says,"CDOR rates enable the creation of a broad range of financial derivatives that are currently missing in the crypto financial ecosystem. This addition alongside a clearer regulatory environment should exponentially increase the interaction of institutional players with DeFi. The ability to efficiently manage interest rate risk is a game changer for the CeDeFi markets. Tyr Capital is thrilled to be more widely involved in making the TradFi and crypto relationship more symbiotic."
Jason Urban, Global Head of Trading at Galaxy says,"With CDOR rates, the market gains a powerful rate signal that reflects real-time borrower demand and enables smart, scalable trading strategies. It's a meaningful step in bridging DeFi and traditional finance, making stablecoin markets more accessible and actionable for sophisticated investors."
Joshua Lim, Global Co-Head of Markets, FalconX says,"We are pleased to partner with CoinDesk Indices and Sentora on their CDOR product suite. The next phase of growth in crypto will be driven by convergence of CeFi and DeFi capital markets."
Reed Werbitt, US CEO, Flowdesk says,"The introduction of CDOR will enable broader institutional adoption and participation in crypto credit markets, enhancing capital efficiency and risk management across our trading strategies. The ability to mitigate interest rate risk is a critical foundation of a functioning capital market, and we're excited to be working with Sentora to bring this product to fruition."
By turning on-chain market activity into standardized interest rates, CDOR lays the groundwork for exchange-traded money-market futures and other rate-based derivatives.

Bybit and FXStreet TradFi Report: Gold Poised for Breakout
DUBAI, UAE, Aug. 13, 2025 /CNW/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, issued its latest TradFi report, highlighting gold's enduring safe-haven appeal as investors prepare for major macroeconomic events. Following a record high earlier this year, gold is trading in a narrow range with neutral momentum, signaling potential for a decisive move as inflation data, tariff deadlines, and central bank policy decisions approach. All-Time High: Gold touched a record $3,500 on April 22, 2025, and is now consolidating near $3,365. Defined Range: Since May 20, trading has remained within $3,274 support and $3,443 resistance. Neutral Momentum: Daily RSI stands at 50, with MACD flat, indicating balanced market forces but rising breakout potential. Macro Watch: The August 12 inflation report, tariff deadlines, and the September 17 Federal Reserve decision could spark sharp price swings. Labor Market Weakness: The latest U.S. jobs report revealed a significant hiring slowdown, fueling rate-cut expectations. Diversification Play: Silver is holding at $40, with potential to retest its $50 all-time high. Gold's consolidation comes as macroeconomic uncertainty builds, with weakening labor data and trade tensions adding to market caution. Technical patterns point to stored momentum, while silver's parallel strength offers an additional diversification opportunity for investors. The weeks ahead may prove pivotal in determining the next phase of price action for both metals. #Bybit / #TheCryptoArk /#BybitResearch About Bybit Bybit is the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, serving a global community of over 70 million users.
