With recent volatility, the entry of sophisticated institutional investors and the maturing of the digital asset market, a clear understanding of the various risks is essential. Unfortunately, standards for reference data describing digital assets – classifications, sectors, and even basic symbol information – are still in their infancy. DATS solves this problem for the industry and enables the development of advanced systems like Cloudwall Serenity to model and visualize risk.
Mark Makepeace, Wilshire’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are delighted that Cloudwall recognized the strength of DATS and has implemented it into their system to further help the industry understand the risks and opportunities of the digital assets market. The rigorous approach to research and classification makes DATS the market standard for institutional investors, who need confidence in a rules-based taxonomy in order to conduct their research and make risk-adjusted asset allocation decisions.”
Kyle Downey, CEO of Cloudwall, said, “Risk systems depend on very high-quality reference data to help properly identify the assets in a portfolio and to aggregate exposures in a meaningful way. A robust sector taxonomy is a key piece of the puzzle: it helps recognize similarities between digital assets which lead to correlated returns, and lets investors view risks at various levels like sectors, sub-sectors and industries. DATS provides the leading solution for this problem in digital assets, and we are excited to make their comprehensive taxonomy available as part of Serenity.”
