The Future of Crypto Risk Management is here.

Don´t trust. Verify.

The IDW PS 951-certified SaaS tool “Crypto Risk Metrics” supports regulated financial institutions in the risk-based assessment of cryptocurrencies, Delta-1 Certificates (“Crypto ETPs”) and tokenized securities. Market conformity checks, KARBV-compliant price data and ESG data complete the product range.

Serving Regulated
Financial Institutions

Regulated financial institutions require adequate solutions for risk-based mapping of the specific challenges in blockchain ecosystems – especially with the entry into force of the “Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation” (MiCAR).

The Crypto Risk Metrics software helps to always be compliant and able to react to new requirements properly at any given time.

The software is also aimed at regulators and authorities – we call this “Embedded Supervision” – as well as auditors who can better fulfill important functions by using the tool.

Distributed ledger technology has the potential to fundamentally optimize the financial world – but also comes with its own challenges and risks. 

The core functions of the Software as a Service include risk management for cryptocurrencies (both natively and indirectly via Delta-1 Certificates), tokenized assets as well as market conformity checks for cryptocurrency trades and the determination of KARBV-compliant valuation data.

In addition, ESG data are offered via partners, which will soon become mandatory for all crypto asset service providers.
