Clearstream Selects Crypto Risk Metrics as ESG Data Provider for Crypto-Assets
  • Clearstream relies on ESG data from Crypto Risk Metrics to ensure MiCAR-compliance in its crypto-asset services
  • Technical excellence and compliance frameworks as main decision drivers

Frankfurt, May 27th, 2025. Clearstream, the post-trade services provider and central securities depository of Deutsche Börse Group, has selected Crypto Risk Metrics as its ESG data provider for crypto-assets. The Hamburg-based company will support Clearstream’s growing crypto services offering with high-quality, regulatory-aligned ESG metrics.

Clearstream serves clients in over 110 countries and recently launched an institutional-grade crypto custody service. This move reflects the group’s continued investment in secure, compliant digital asset infrastructure for ist international client base.

“With our new crypto custody solution, we empower our clients to manage their crypto-assets in a secure and efficient way,” said Thilo Derenbach, Head of Sales & Business Development, Digital Securities Services at Clearstream. “Crypto Risk Metrics ESG data offering helps us and our clients to comply with the regulatory requirements. And as we always adhere to the highest standards, we felt best to rely on the data measured in ISO-accredited testing centers provided by Crypto Risk Metrics.”

Tim Zölitz, CEO of Crypto Risk Metrics, commented: “Being chosen by Clearstream as one of the central players in financial services is of course a great honor for us. Our ESG data offering is a perfect match for their new crypto custody solution, as was evidenced already previously by the selection of our product by Crypto Finance, also a Deutsche Börse Group entity.”

Starting December 30, 2024, the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) requires crypto-asset service providers to disclose various ESG metrics. As the leading data provider in this field, Crypto Risk Metrics is for example the exclusive ESG data provider of the ISO 24165 registration authority for Digital Token Identifier Foundation and cooperates with different data providers such as Infront for easy integration into systems.
