| Abstract | "The world has gone from a singular focus on Bitcoin to a much wider adoption of DeFi apps, distributed computing platforms, NFTs etc. As with the equity markets, categorization of sub asset groupings into sectors and more recently themes are important in the institutional adoptions of diverse asset classes. According to the data provider CoinMarketCap, there are over 13,000 digital assets, which leads to increasing options as well as confusion for investors. Are there really so many tokens required in order to facilitate payments? How should investors choose amongst the various options? How should investors evaluate and monitor their choices? The answers are not trivial. As software, these tokens perform different functions and their functions and use cases can change over time. To simplify the answers, investors increasingly look at the actual usage and underlying microeconomics of various networks and trading activity around a token's unique drivers of growth. Grouping and categorizing tokens is an important part to structuring optimal investment decisions. MV Index Solutions (MVIS) has developed a classification scheme for digital assets and provides category indices that allows users to measure, benchmark and capture the performance and characteristics of targeted categories within the digital assets, making digital assets more digestible to traditional finance investors while giving crypto native funds additional benchmarking capabilities."-- Provided by publisher. |
