Frankfurt am Main, January 29th, 2025. We are pleased to announce that Crypto Finance (Deutschland) GmbH, a subsidiary of Swiss-based Crypto Finance AG and part of Deutsche Börse Group, has chosen Crypto Risk Metrics as its provider for ESG data solutions for crypto-assets. This decision follows an extensive technical and compliance due diligence process, reinforcing the company’s commitment to regulatory adherence and sustainable practices in the crypto sector.
A Pioneer in Regulated Crypto Services
Since 2017, Crypto Finance (Deutschland) GmbH has been offering institutional clients trading, custody, and wallet services in the digital assets space. As one of the first MiCAR-licensed crypto asset service providers in Europe, the company is committed to meeting regulatory requirements, including the provision of comprehensive ESG data on crypto-assets.
Eric Viohl, Managing Director of Crypto Finance (Deutschland) GmbH, emphasized the importance of partnering with a neutral and specialized third party for ESG data:
“We made a conscious decision to source the ESG data for crypto-assets from a neutral and highly specialized third party, which sends a clear signal that regulatory compliance is a high priority for us. In addition to the different calculation models for the various blockchain types, we were particularly impressed by the current measurements in an ISO-accredited measuring center.”
Crypto Risk Metrics: A Trusted ESG Data Provider
As a leader in ESG data for crypto-assets, Crypto Risk Metrics provides market participants with reliable and compliant data solutions. CEO Tim Zölitz highlighted the importance of rigorous due diligence in selecting ESG data providers:
