These factors are provided as an easy-to-understand digital asset grade, allowing investors to look beyond price and volume data to get a more holistic view of the market.
By incorporating fundamental analysis in an easy-to-understand digital asset grade it allows investors to look past price and volume data to get a more holistic view of the market.

“Crypto Briefing has systematically reported on and evaluated hundreds of digital assets. Our connections and expertise allow us to provide valuable recommendations to investors.”
Blockchain data providers TokenInsight and IntoTheBlock will also be featured alongside Crypto Briefing on CoinMarketCap.
Data Transparency for the Crypto Investor
Inclusion of Crypto Briefing’s SIMETRI digital asset ratings is part of CoinMarketCap’s Data Accountability & Transparency Alliance (DATA) initiative was unveiled in May 2019. DATA is CoinMarketCap’s ongoing bid to provide transparency and verifiable order book data from exchanges. Crypto Briefing is currently the only crypto-media publication involved in the initiative.
The initiative follows widespread concerns around cryptocurrency market manipulation. Last year, Bitwise released an in-depth analysis of exchange markets and found that roughly 95 percent of Bitcoin trading volumes may be fabricated through wash trading.
Carylyne Chan, Chief Strategy Officer of CoinMarketCap said:
“Crypto Briefing, TokenInsight, and IntoTheBlock are highly respected in the industry for their informative and in-depth offerings, and I’m sure our users will benefit greatly from their valuable data and ratings.”
Raising the Standard for Blockchain Media
In 2018, Crypto Briefing announced it successfully closed a $2 million seed round, giving the company a $13.3 million valuation. Investors include Youbi Capital Fenbushi, DHVC, and NGC, among others.
The publication received awards for “Best Media Outlet” at the Malta AI and Blockchain Summit last year and was runner-up for the “Best Blockchain Publication” at the Dapp Awards, held at Devcon IV, in 2018. Kao said:
“Crypto Briefing was founded on the principle of information equality for the retail investor. Today, we are one step closer to that goal.”
