Lukka Crypto ESG Score
The Lukka Crypto Sustainability Score evaluates the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) attributes of individual tokens.

Trading Venue Quality as a Strategic Lever
The health and integrity of trading venues play a critical role in market performance and client trust. The Lukka Trading Venue Score evaluates trading venues based on factors such as governance, market depth, and regulatory oversight—giving institutions a clear benchmark for selecting venues and managing exposure.
This insight allows institutions to:
- Focus on high-quality venues to improve liquidity and market access.
- Reduce operational risks tied to underperforming venues.
- Provide clients with enhanced transparency and venue selection confidence.
An institution that can demonstrate selective venue partnerships based on verified operational strength is better positioned to attract institutional capital and build long-term client relationships.
Anticipating Regulatory Shifts
As global markets introduce stricter requirements for asset transparency and operational integrity, institutions that can provide clear, data-backed assessments will be better positioned to capture market share. Regulatory frameworks—such as MiCA in the European Union—highlight the growing importance of asset quality and trading venue strength in market oversight.
Lukka Score Products offer a structured approach to meeting these expectations without introducing additional operational burden. Institutions can anticipate future compliance requirements and align market strategies accordingly.
