Taxonomy System (DATS)

Sector based classification system for digital assets

DATS is the institutional standard digital asset classification system for traditional and crypto native asset managers to develop sector based investment solutions and portfolios for investors.

With the broadest coverage of any digital taxonomy system in the industry, we classify over 1,300 digital assets into supersectors, sectors, subsectors, and cross sector themes, DATS is the clear choice for institutional investors to identify sector based opportunities and assess risks in this emerging asset class.
