Goldman Sachs, MSCI, and Coin Metrics Launch Digital Assets Classification System

Introduction to Datonomy

Goldman Sachs, MSCI, and Coin Metrics have collaborated to develop a digital assets classification system called datonomy. Announced on November 3, this system aims to improve the transparency of market movements and provide a clearer framework for analyzing the digital assets ecosystem. The datonomy system is available by subscription through the three companies.

Key Features of the Classification System

The datonomy system categorizes digital assets into classes, sectors, and subsectors based on their use cases. This granular approach allows users to view assets in a more detailed manner. According to a Goldman Sachs spokesperson, the system provides a consistent view of the market, enabling users to filter assets using various criteria. It also helps market participants understand the aggregated properties of these assets at the portfolio level.

Benefits for Market Participants

By offering a structured classification, datonomy enhances the ability to screen and analyze digital assets. This tool is particularly useful for investors and institutions seeking to navigate the complex digital assets landscape. The system is designed to improve decision-making by providing a clearer understanding of market dynamics and asset characteristics.
