Blockworks, a digital assets data and software firm, has launched the Transparency Alliance, a coalition of exchanges, custodians, market makers, venture funds, launch platforms, and stablecoin issuers.
The alliance — which includes Coinbase, Binance.US, Kraken, Grayscale, Anchorage Digital, and BitGo, among others — is comprised of firms that publicly endorse the Token Transparency Framework (TTF) market disclosures, which provide standardised datasets for every digital asset.
Within the TTF, there are two filing types: B-1, which is a singular filing regarding early-stage and post-launch protocols, and B-2, a filing for mature protocols that receives continuous updates.
The filings, says Blockworks, each produce a rating measuring the thoroughness of disclosure, and are “classification-agnostic”, which doesn’t predetermine legal classification under any specific regime.
It also believes that B-1 “become the new default for market entry” and B-2 should “be the standard for continual disclosure”, said to be the “fastest way to evaluate the integrity of a project”.
Commenting on the formation of the coalition, Jason Yanowitz, co-founder of Blockworks, says that the firm intends to “build trust in onchain markets”, addressing the lack of knowledge investors have in tokens, stemming from critical information being “scattered, incomplete, or unavailable”.
He adds: “We launched the Token Transparency Framework to bring disclosures to crypto and to improve the industry.”
Stephen Gregory, CEO, Binance.US, comments: “The Token Transparency Framework provides straightforward, clear criteria to evaluate crypto assets.”
Clay Maffett, director of asset listings at Coinbase, shares the sentiment in support of “stronger disclosure standards and market integrity for token markets” and the company’s excitement to “work with others across the industry to help make this a reality” with the TTF.
