Where is the authoritative source for the Bitcoin price?
Well, there isn't one.
So differences in price for bitcoin occur at different marketplaces ... just as the price of a tomato is different at different grocery markets.
So there are various methods that attempt to consider various marketplaces to come up with a more sane, commonly available price.
For instance, Coindesk has their "Bitcoin Price Index", which they suggest the symbol XBP, and the method it is calculated is shown here:
- https://www.coindesk.com/price/bitcoin-price-index
- https://api.coindesk.com/v1/bpi/currentprice.json
CoinDesks's BPI is used by a number of financial media (e.g., Bloomberg/WJS) and trading products.
There's also the BraveNewCoin's BItcoin Liquid Index (BLX):
The BLX is used by NASDAQ.
The CME has its own "prices", BRR (Bitcoin Reference Rate) -- the "closing price" used for daily settlements, and BRTI (Bitcoin Real-time Index):
