Pyth Network has launched Pyth Indices, a new suite of proprietary 24/7 price products for assets that normally still live around market hours. The rollout covers U.S. equities, metals and oil, offering continuous references for markets that increasingly trade beyond the closing bell. The important shift is price discovery moving into always-on, and Energy Markets.

Always-on indices target a broken market clock
The initial single-asset indices cover U.S. stocks including NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, INTC, HOOD, MSTR and CRCL, alongside gold, silver, WTI oil and Brent oil. Pyth is also working with MarketVector on Coinbase-specific equity index futures such as AI10, Defense10, China10 and Tech100. The product turns familiar assets into continuous reference markets, giving venues a way to price instruments when traditional exchanges are closed, thin or fragmented across regions.
That matters because perpetual contracts, tokenized assets and prediction markets need live benchmarks even when the underlying equity or commodity market is offline. Kraken’s derivatives team framed the issue plainly: a perpetual oil contract needs a 24/7 reference price to function. Early users include Coinbase, Kraken, dYdX and Nado, showing the target audience is not only DeFi applications but centralized and institutional venues too. The demand comes from markets that already refuse to sleep, while old pricing infrastructure still assumes nights, weekends and holidays are dark.
Pyth’s approach is to aggregate data from liquid onchain and offchain trading venues, using its broader network of more than 135 institutions, including exchanges, trading firms and market makers. The pitch is that real-time first-party data can create benchmarks better suited for cross-asset trading, liquidation engines and risk systems. The hard question is whether continuous pricing can stay reliable during stress, especially when some underlying markets are closed and liquidity shifts to alternative venues. Pyth plans to expand the indices into thematic products, cross-asset baskets and custom or white-label builds. For exchanges and applications, the launch offers a missing reference layer. For investors, it raises a bigger market-structure question: if trading never stops, the meaning of a closing price may start to fade. That shift sounds technical, but it changes how global markets understand fair value between official sessions in real time.
