An absence of institutional-quality crypto asset data that can be used for business operations and portfolio/holdings valuation. Businesses require both reference data and pricing and valuation data to interact with the crypto asset ecosystem. Reference data is needed to normalize and standardize the messy data and data formatting issues that arise when extracting data or interacting with the crypto-asset ecosystem. Pricing and valuation data is required to properly value these assets in accordance with GAAP and IFRS guidelines as well as guidelines laid out by agencies and regulators such as the IRS and SEC.
IHS Markit redistributes both Lukka Reference Data and Lukka Prime Pricing Data to its institutional clients through its long-standing, institutional-quality delivery channels.
“Our partnership with Lukka will deliver financial institutions seamless access to a best-of-breed solution for Fair Market Value pricing on cryptocurrencies and other digital assets. As the demand for these innovative holdings continues to grow, this collaboration expands the strength of our comprehensive and industry-leading valuations expertise, while bringing financial markets additional transparency on complex and dynamic assets.”

We’re excited to work with Lukka, who has been at the forefront of digital asset data services, to promote more transparency in this nascent sector.”
