Talos Partners with Crypto Risk Metrics to Help Clients Meet MiCA ESG Disclosure Requirements

AMSTERDAM, December 17, 2024 – Talos, the premier provider of institutional trading and portfolio technology for digital assets, has partnered with Crypto Risk Metrics to provide Talos’s regulated clients with ESG data to meet their sustainability disclosure requirements under the EU’s MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets) Regulation. 

With the entry into force of MiCA, crypto-asset service providers, such as banks and brokers, will be required to provide ESG data for the crypto-assets they support. Crypto Risk Metrics provides risk-based assessment of cryptocurrencies, crypto ETPs and tokenized assets to regulated financial institutions as well as the ESG data required by MiCA.

“Partnering with the market leader in ESG data for crypto assets to help ensure our clients are MiCA-ready was an easy choice,” said Frank van Zegveld, Head of EMEA Sales for Talos. “Being able to access Crypto Risk Metrics’ sustainability data through Talos gives our clients one less compliance hurdle to worry about and aligns with our mission of providing the most comprehensive platform for institutional crypto.”

Tim Zölitz, CEO of Crypto Risk Metrics, adds: "The partnership with Talos is a testimony to the quality of our data and our strong compliance framework as evidenced by our IDW PS 951 certification. We believe this is why we have been chosen by the Digital Token Identifier Foundation that issues ESMA recommended digital token identifiers, as well as a number of companies onboarding with us on a weekly basis."
