FnGuide is partnering with Populus to close information gaps in South Korea's digital asset market. The collaboration aims to deliver standardized data for institutional investors. This move addresses the lack of reliable public information in the sector.

Combining Financial and On-Chain Data

The partnership merges two distinct data sets. FnGuide contributes traditional financial analysis capabilities. Populus provides blockchain technology and on-chain data expertise. This combination targets specific information asymmetries. The firms plan to publish regular joint research reports. These reports will focus on protecting investors. They will also serve customized needs of institutional clients.

Institutional Framework and New Reports

FnGuide established a dedicated digital asset unit earlier this year. The unit created classification systems for different assets. It also developed evaluation methodologies. The company will now respond to legal changes. This includes supporting the institutionalization of the market. A new protocol business report is also planned. This report will analyze project performance and business status.

Leadership Focuses on Market Transparency

Populus CEO Kim Nam-ung cited precise data analysis as key. He stated this will enhance market transparency. It will also support the institutionalization of digital assets. FnGuide CEO Jeon Min-seok emphasized clarity. He said the goal is to make information easier to understand. The firm intends to lead sound market growth. This approach relies on reliable information from multiple angles.
