Goldman Sachs has partnered with MSCI and Coin Metrics to introduce a new classification system for the digital assets market, known as datonomy.
Delivered as a data service, datonomy categorizes coins and tokens based on their usage, offering market participants a standardized framework to view and analyze the digital assets ecosystem. The collaborators believe this initiative will enhance transparency regarding market movements and provide investors, service providers, developers, and researchers with tools to monitor market trends, assess portfolio risk and returns, and develop new products.
MSCI is the owner and sole administrator of the datonomy system, with Goldman Sachs and Coin Metrics serving on an advisory board that will also include third-party members. Anne Marie Darling, head of marquee client strategy and distribution at Goldman Sachs, stated, “Given our commitment to providing developer services, and as a trusted data analytics provider to our institutional clients, creating reliable data services for the emerging digital asset community is a strategic focus and natural extension to our existing business.”
