FnGuide and Populous announce a partnership to publish joint research reports, aiming to resolve information asymmetry in the digital asset market.

FnGuide and Populous have agreed to publish joint research reports on digital assets. The partnership targets the lack of standardized data in the blockchain sector. Both firms aim to reduce information asymmetry for retail investors.

FnGuide provides quantitative data analysis tools. Populous specializes in on-chain data interpretation and blockchain technology research. The two companies will combine these capabilities to create a unified information source.

Combining Quantitative and On-Chain Data

An FnGuide official stated that project information is currently too distributed. Interpreting raw on-chain data remains difficult for most participants. The joint reports will simplify this process through regular co-publications.

The collaboration leverages FnGuide’s existing classification systems. It also utilizes Populous’s expertise in blockchain mechanics. This approach seeks to make complex technical data accessible to a broader audience.

Institutional Support and Regulatory Alignment

FnGuide established a dedicated digital asset organization earlier this year. It also created a specific evaluation methodology for these assets. The new partnership extends these institutional capabilities.

The firms plan to offer customized research for institutional investors. They will also support companies commercializing digital assets. This service will adapt to changes in relevant laws and systems.

Protocol Business Reports and Transparency

The partnership will include a protocol business report format. This report covers business status, performance, and future plans of blockchain projects. Populous CEO Kim Nam-woong noted the move increases market transparency.

FnGuide CEO Jeon Min-seok emphasized the goal of clear information. He stated the aim is to drive healthy market growth. Reliable data from multiple angles is central to this strategy.
