this surprised even me...
markets never stopped running.
perps on oil, equities, metals, they've been trading 24/7 for a while now.
prediction markets, tokenized stocks, weekend sessions. the trading infrastructure caught up fast.
but the pricing infrastructure? still running on Wall Street hours.
oil pumps 3% on a Saturday morning.
geopolitical news drops at 2am Sunday.
and most reference feeds are justโฆ offline.
so what does an exchange do? price off its own order book. build internal logic.
guess.
that's not a reference price. that's a liability.
@PythNetwork just closed that gap.
Pyth Indices, proprietary 24/7 indices across oil, U.S. equities, metals, and thematic baskets โ are live now... not coming soon... not in beta... it's live, with real partners already using them in production:
โ Coinbase, thematic equity index futures (AI10, Defense10, China10, Tech100)
โ Kraken, oil perps and derivatives
โ dYdX, perp contract on the 24/7 Oil Index
โ Nado, continuous oil pricing across spot, margin, and perps
the asset coverage at launch is serious too.
WTI and BRENT for oil.
NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, INTC, HOOD, MSTR, CRCL for U.S. equities. Gold and Silver for metals.
each index has a published methodology and runs without interruption.
the thematic baskets are co-developed with MarketVector Indexes, a VanEck company with $100B tracking their indices.
institutional index governance meeting always on pricing infrastructure.
this isn't Pyth's first move either.
they were already the first and leading provider of 24/5 U.S. equity feeds through Blue Ocean ATS.
24/7 indices across every major asset class is just the next step.
the gap between "markets that never close" and "pricing that actually works when they're open" is now closed.
