Global investment technology and advisory company Wilshire, and Digital Asset Research (DAR), a provider of crypto asset data and research, has released a classification of the top 1,000 digital assets by market capitalisation.
The Digital Asset Taxonomy System (DATS) data is now available to be licensed by: investment research teams to conduct performance attribution; market data platforms to inform trading decisions; and product issuers to build index-linked investment products.
The classification system expands beyond digital currencies which has the smallest constituent count of the three DATS supersectors: Computation Platforms – 45.2 per cent the assets; Financial Instruments – 36.0 per cent of assets; Digital Currencies – 18.8 per cent of the universe.
DATS also has the flexibility to group the 1,000 strong digital asset universe into popular investment themes. The two themes currently available include an Environmentally Focused cut with 33 digital assets and a Decntralized Finance (DeFi) cut with 245 assets that also has seven sub-themes: Automated market maker (AMM); Asset management; Derivatives; Lending and borrowing; Prediction markets; and Yield Aggregator.
