101010 Decentralized Currency (Crypto Sub-category)

The Decentralized Currency Crypto Sub-category comprises companies, organizations, and projects engaged in privacy currency and transparent currency.

10101010 Privacy Currency (Crypto Class)

Companies, organizations, and projects that issue, operate, and maintain cryptocurrencies that designed with privacy and anonymity features. A privacy currency is a type of cryptocurrency that is designed to provide users with enhanced privacy and anonymity. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, which are built on a transparent blockchain, privacy currency uses advanced cryptographic techniques to obfuscate transaction details and shield user identities from public view.

10101020 Transparent Currency (Crypto Class)

Companies, organizations, and projects that issue, operate, and maintain cryptocurrencies with transparent transaction data. A transparent currency is a cryptocurrency that operates on a public blockchain network, where transactions and account balances are publicly visible and can be audited by anyone on the network. Transactions on transparent blockchain networks are generally irreversible, making them more secure against fraudulent activity. However, the transparency of the blockchain also means that the personal information of users can be traced, which some individuals may consider a disadvantage.

101020 Stablecoins (Crypto Sub-category)

The Stablecoins Crypto Sub-category comprises companies, organizations, and projects engaged in collateralized stablecoins, algorithmic stablecoins, and hybrid stablecoins.

10102010 Collateralized Stablecoins (Crypto Class)

Companies, organizations, and projects that issue, operate, and maintain stablecoins backed by a reserve of tangible assets, including fiat-backed, commodity-backed, and crypto-backed. Collateralized stablecoins are a type of stablecoin that is backed by a reserve of assets. The reserve is typically made up of another cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, or fiat currency, such as the US dollar. The value of the stablecoin is pegged to the value of the asset in the reserve, which helps to stabilize its price. Collateralized stablecoins aim to provide the benefits of cryptocurrencies, such as fast and cheap transactions while minimizing the volatility that is often associated with other cryptocurrencies.

10102020 Algorithmic Stablecoins (Crypto Class)

Companies, organizations, and projects that issue, operate, and maintain stablecoins that keep their value through algorithmic adjustments. Algorithmic stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency that uses an algorithm to maintain its price stability. These stablecoins do not rely on traditional collateral, such as fiat currency, to maintain a stable price. Instead, the algorithm controls the supply of the stablecoin based on market demand, adjusting the supply to keep the price stable. This is achieved through the use of complex mathematical formulas and mechanisms, such as smart contracts and decentralized autonomous organizations. Algorithmic stablecoins are often used as a hedge against volatility in other cryptocurrencies or as a means of facilitating decentralized finance (DeFi) transactions.

10102030 Hybrid Stablecoins (Crypto Class)

Companies, organizations, and projects that issue, operate, and maintain stablecoins that combine collateralized and algorithmic mechanisms to keep their value.
