Crypto Ratings Council established to rate crypto
The major US-based exchanges have come together to develop the Crypto Ratings council – a system to rate the assets and jointly define which of them are securities. Coinbase and Kraken along with Bittrex, Circle Internet Financial, Genesis Global Trading, Grayscale Investments, Anchor Labs and DRW Holdings’ Cumberland unit are the council members, but new firms can be recruited. The council will publish online ratings for cryptocurrencies on a scale of 1 to 5. The highest value will indicate that the digital asset can not be issued, traded, or sold by unregulated firms.
