Innovative Methodology for Robust Pricing
The development of Kaiko’s Robust Pair Price tool involved extensive research and analysis conducted by our Quantitative Analytics team. They examined existing price aggregation methodologies applied to cryptocurrency prices, considering the fragmented nature of quotations across different platforms.
The inherent challenge lies in the heavy-tailed distribution of price returns and volumes, often resulting in numerous outliers. Traditional methods, such as Volume-Weighted Average Prices (VWAPs) or Volume-Weighted Median prices (VWMs), struggle to handle this unique problem effectively.
To overcome these challenges, we devised the Robust Weighted Median (RWM) estimator. This estimator exhibits robustness against outliers in both price and volume, providing a reliable solution within the digital asset space.
Kaiko Robust Price Aggregation provides a rigorous and high-performing statistical methodology (academic paper and Methodology) that satisfies the required properties for such an estimator. The innovative highlights of this new methodology include; Wide interval range (1s-1d), rigorous high-performing statistical approach, resistance to outliers, and suitable for illiquid pairs.
