CCData Partners With ANNA/DTIF To Accelerate Adoption of the Digital Token Identifier Standard

London, 6th March 2024 – CCData, an FCA-authorised benchmark administrator and
leading provider of digital asset data and index solutions, today unveiled its strategic
partnership with the Association of National Numbering Agencies (ANNA) and the
Digital Token Identifier Foundation (DTIF) to introduce Digital Token Identifiers (DTIs)
and International Securities Identification Numbers (ISINs) into CCData’s Asset
Metadata solution.

The integration of these two identifiers means stakeholders of both parties can access
metadata for 7,000+ digital assets and respective ISO identifiers via CCData’s REST
API. This will enhance transparency in the digital asset market by distinguishing
between the ISIN-identified asset itself and its blockchain-based implementation,
identified by DTI.

As the digital asset sector grows, it is crucial that standardised identification data is
available that seamlessly blends digital asset standards with conventional financial
systems. In 2023, a joint ANNA-DTIF Task Force was established to ensure a
complementary relationship between the ISIN and DTI standards. The Task Force has
progressed to introduce ISINs assigned by ANNA which are recognised by a new XT
ISIN prefix. These are based on DTIs for digital assets that are not themselves financial
instruments.

The ISO DTI standard for digital token identification continues to be adopted by crypto
and digital asset market infrastructure and service providers and regulators. The
European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) is anticipated to embed DTIs as the
crypto-asset identifier under MiCA transparency reporting, order book, offering and
record-keeping requirements. The ISO ISIN standard is already required by ESMA for
reporting for MiFID II regulated financial instruments which would include tokenized
securities.

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. Through a single endpoint, users can
access comprehensive asset information, including historical supply, contract
addresses, and network indicators for 7000+ major digital assets.

Charles Hayter, CEO and Co-Founder of CCData, stated, “The integration of XT ISINs
and DTIs marks a vital step toward enhancing CCData’s interoperable capabilities while
significantly increasing transparency for our user base. Market participants can now
seamlessly access identification standards and asset metadata via a single API
endpoint, enhancing data availability and universal identification standards across
exchanges.”

Stephan Dreyer, Managing Director for ANNA, said “We are very excited about this
collaboration as it aligns with our mission to foster standardisation within the financial
industry. Our aim is to bring greater transparency to the spectrum of new innovative
assets through the use of global interoperable standards. This partnership provides a
step forward for applying consistent identification standards to the growing universe of
digital assets.”

Rowan Varrall, Associate Director at DTIF, said ” We are thrilled to announce this
strategic partnership with CCData, which is a testament to the strength of our products
and is a clear indication that ISO DTI will become the industry standard for digital token
identification. Our work with ANNA has helped foster transparency and efficiency in the
digital asset ecosystem, something that is a positive for all industry stakeholders.”
