Navigate the Blockchain Economy and Understand Exposures of Digital Assets
The Digital Asset universe is constituted of a diverse range of Assets with differing characteristics, use cases and applications. The lack of a coherent classification system by which to segment this universe, understand its constitution and map exposures of digital assets to real world use cases and differing economic activities severely limited any quantitative analysis of the asset class. The CF Digital Asset Classification Structure (CF DACS) gives investors a simple, comprehensive and evergreen framework by which to attribute performance to real world activities and adoption.
