CCData implements DTI and ISIN within Asset Metadata solution

 

In March 2024, CCData, an FCA-authorised benchmark administrator and leading provider of digital asset data and index solutions, announced the introduction of Digital Token Identifiers (DTIs) and International Securities Identification Numbers (ISINs) into CCData’s Asset Metadata solution.

 

The addition of ISINs and DTIs into CCData’s Asset Metadata product gives stakeholders enhanced access to digital asset identification standards that are consistent across fragmented markets, while simultaneously providing users with access to underlying blockchain and asset data.

About the DTI Foundation

 

The Digital Token Identifier (DTI) Foundation is the Registration Authority for the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 24165 Digital Token Identifier (DTI) standard, an ISO standard that enables the unique identification of all fungible digital assets which use distributed ledger technology for token issuance, storage, exchange, a record of ownership, or transaction validation.

 

The DTI Foundation’s mission is to provide the golden source reference data for the unique identification of digital tokens. As its mandate, the DTI Foundation issues and maintains DTIs on a non-profit basis, to increase transparency in the digital asset space by creating a core reference data set based on open data principles and made available as a public good.
