Built on established principles from structured finance, PDARF offers a standardized, quantitative approach to assess legal, operational, and technological risks. The Particula Digital Asset Risk Framework (PDARF) brings clarity and consistency to the evaluation of asset-backed tokens. Built on established principles from structured finance, PDARF offers a standardized, quantitative approach to assess legal, operational, and technological risks. We collaborate over a 4-6 week period, ensuring comprehensive coverage by aggregating publicly available data, providing detailed requirement lists, and conducting several feedback and update meetings to ensure the assessment is comprehensive, accurate, and tailored to meet the needs of issuers, investors and other stakeholders. Once complete, we provide real-time access to the rating and underlying data, enabling continuous monitoring instead of a static, one-time evaluation. Our process begins with a thorough understanding of the digital asset to be rated. This involves defining the scope, identifying key stakeholders, and initiating secure data collection from both on-chain sources and project teams. We establish clear communication channels to ensure a smooth and transparent information exchange. This critical phase involves in-depth analysis of all relevant aspects of the digital asset. Our expert analysts leverage our methodology and advanced tools to assess various risk factors, ensuring a holistic and robust evaluation. Upon completion of the due diligence, our findings are synthesized into a comprehensive rating report. This report provides a transparent overview of key strengths and challenges, and the assigned rating, along with supporting data and rationale. We ensure the report is clear, actionable, and accessible. Particula's commitment extends beyond the initial rating. We provide continuous, real-time monitoring of rated digital assets, adapting to the dynamic nature of the blockchain space. Our platform automatically tracks relevant on-chain metrics, market data, and project updates, ensuring ratings remain current and reflective of evolving conditions. Centered around independent ratings, our modular product suite includes in-depth reports, real-time analytics, and comprehensive on- and off-chain monitoring tools, designed to enhance transparency throughout the digital asset lifecycle.

Difficulty proving asset legitimacy and transparency to investors. Build credibility with Particula’s real-time risk ratings (AAA–D) and transparent reporting. Spot and address structural, security, and compliance risks early to boost your token’s institutional appeal. Lacking strong trust signals makes attracting market makers, investors, and listings a challenge. Unlock liquidity and support new listings with Particula’s objective, third-party risk assessments - trusted by market makers and liquidity providers. Without clear peer comparisons, it’s difficult to position a token competitively. Differentiate your token with Particula’s rating reports, featuring clear comparison tables against peers. Our standardized benchmarks make your strengths visible - and in a market where others lack transparency, investors already notice who stands out. Infrastructure providers - including trading facilities, brokers, custody providers, and blockchain networks - form the backbone of the digital asset market, enabling transactions, asset storage, and market access. These organizations must balance operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and the need to deliver trusted, value-added services. Managing asset listings and ongoing security and compliance checks is time-consuming, inefficient, and hard to scale. Accelerate and scale your listing process with Particula’s institutional-grade due diligence and continuous, automated risk monitoring - ensuring only transparent, compliant assets are listed. Inconsistent or delayed communication of asset risks and performance exposes your platform to reputational damage and loss of stakeholder trust. Gain a powerful monitoring platform with real-time risk profiles for all relevant digital assets - supporting internal oversight and enabling transparent performance and risk updates for your community, shareholders, and key stakeholders. Struggling to stand out in a competitive market and provide investors with clear, comparable risk insights directly within your platform. Seamlessly integrate Particula’s risk ratings and analytics into your platform, giving investors clear, comparable asset insights and strengthening your unique value proposition through enhanced transparency and trust. Asset allocators - including treasury managers, portfolio managers and institutional investors - face the dual challenge of uncovering high-potential opportunities while maintaining robust risk controls. In the fast evolving digitalasset space, choosing investments that match clients’ financial objectives and risk appetites demands deep insight and real-time risk intelligence. Navigating a crowded market makes it challenging to pinpoint assets that meet institutional standards and align with investment mandates. Request independent risk ratings and detailed reports for prospective investments - use these documents to support robust due diligence and transparent LP communication. Loss of capital due to undetected security breaches, regulatory shifts, or sudden market changes threatens portfolio stability. Make faster, more proactive investment decisions with Particula’s real-time risk monitoring platform - enabling you to respond quickly to emerging threats and safeguard capital. Determining which assets are eligible for inclusion in vaults or as backing for stablecoins is resource-intensive and prone to oversight. Streamline asset selection for vaults and stablecoin baskets with Particula’s rule-based frameworks - identify eligible assets and monitor changes, supporting rigorous and efficient risk management.

Final Provisions Effective Date: 01/01/2024 Particula GmbH, Reinachstr. 57, 80995 Munich (“Particula“) offers its customers a web-based access to their online portal for the collection, assessment, and analysis of crypto values, tokens, and other digitalized assets (collectively, “Digital Assets“; online portal hereinafter referred to as “Platform“). This contract governs the contractual relationship between Particula and the customer (“customer“) regarding the use of the Platform. 1.1 The Platform is intended only for natural or legal persons acting as entrepreneurs under § 14 BGB. Particula reserves the right to request suitable information and require evidence indicating that the customer is not a consumer under § 13 BGB. There is no entitlement to contract formation. 1.2 The contract for the use of the Platform is concluded by the customer completing the registration process on the Platform and subsequent acceptance by Particula. Registration is carried out by an employee authorized by the customer. 1.3 Until clicking the “Submit” button, the customer can cancel the registration process at any time or modify the provided information by deleting, adding, or correcting them in the respective fields, or by closing their web browser or the tab. After completing the registration process, the customer can modify the information in their customer account at any time. 1.4 By completing the registration process or sending the contract, the customer submits a legally binding proposal for contract formation to Particula. In the case of an online contract, Particula will send an immediate confirmation of the offer’s receipt to the email address provided by the customer during registration. However, this order confirmation does not constitute acceptance of the customer’s offer. 1.5 A contract between Particula and the customer is only concluded when Particula has accepted the offer. The acceptance is sent to the customer either via email or by providing access to the Platform. 1.6 Particula does not store the contract text after contract conclusion. However, in the case of an online contract, it is accessible to the customer at any time under Terms of Service. The contract can only be concluded in the German language. 1.7 Particula reserves the right to transfer effectively established usage relationships, wholly or in part, to other legal entities associated with Particula. The customer is granted the right to withdraw from the contract in such a case. The customer will be informed in advance. 1.8 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the customer expressly grants Particula permission to publicly display its use of the platform for the purpose of self-promotion (references/portfolio) in an appropriate manner. In particular, Particula is entitled to advertise the business relationship with the customer and to point out itself as the author on all advertising materials created and in all advertising measures, without the customer being entitled to any payment for this. 1.9 The contract language is German. Translations into other languages are solely for understanding and are not legally binding. 2.1 Particula provides the customer with time-limited access to the Platform over the Internet for the duration of the contract. The exact scope of the services to be provided by Particula is finally determined by the following explanations. Beyond the agreed services, the customer has no claim to a specific configuration or specific functionalities of the Platform. 2.2 The exact scope of the services to be provided by Particula is specified in Attachment 1. Beyond the agreed services, the customer has no claim to a specific configuration or specific functionalities of the Platform. 2.3 These conditions exclusively govern the use of the Platform. The purchase of Digital Assets or an investment in Digital Assets is not possible through the Platform. 2.4 Operation and maintenance of the Platform are the responsibility of Particula. The place of performance is the router exit of the data center. The customer is responsible for maintaining Internet access and any hardware (e.g., router, smart device) or software (e.g., browser) necessary for access to the Platform. The customer has no claim to access the source codes of the Platform provided by Particula. The operation and configuration of the Platform are the responsibility of the customer. 2.5 Unless otherwise agreed, the average availability of the Platform is 98% per year. This excludes required planned maintenance work and disturbances beyond Particula’s control; particularly force majeure. Particula will, if possible, inform the customer in advance of planned maintenance work by providing text form to the contact person named by the customer. However, Particula expressly reserves the right, if necessary, to also carry out unannounced maintenance work, especially if this is required for data and operational security. 2.6 Particula is entitled to engage subcontractors as auxiliary agents for service provision at its discretion. Particula may make changes to the platform in the following cases: 3.1 Extensions and Further Developments Particula is entitled to add additional functions to the services at any time. Functions introduced by Particula after the conclusion of this contract are considered – unless otherwise agreed – as free additional services. Particula is entitled to discontinue these after weighing the mutual interests. Particula also reserves the right to offer optional extensions and further developments only against payment of an additional fee and under the conclusion of an additional usage agreement. 3.2 Reasonable and Insignificant Changes Particula is entitled to change, limit or discontinue the range of functions of the services to a reasonable extent for the customer. Such a change is particularly reasonable if it only affects insignificant components of the services to be provided by Particula (such as mere design or display changes that do not or only slightly affect the functionality of the service) or becomes necessary for an important reason. An important reason exists in particular when Subject to paragraph 3.3, any change to the range of functions must maintain the performance characteristics defined in this agreement as well as the main contractual obligations of Particula in full. If a change does not only concern time-critical security updates, extensions of the functions or not only insignificant components of the services to be provided by Particula, Particula will notify the customer of the change at least four weeks before it comes into effect in writing or in text form. Particula is entitled to make changes to the range of functions of the services also in other than the cases specified in paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2. In this case, Particula informs the customer about the planned changes one month before the introduction of the changes. During this time, the customer has the right to state whether he accepts the planned changes or not. If the customer does not respond during this period, the changes are considered approved. Particula will inform the customer of this legal consequence of his silence in the change notification. If the customer objects to the changes in a timely manner, Particula has the right, at its option, to either continue to provide the affected service without the planned changes or to terminate the order with a notice period of one month from receipt of the customer’s objection. 4.1 At the start of the contract, Particula grants the customer the non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable and non-sublicensable right to use the platform in accordance with the contract, limited to the term of the contract. Any further statutory rights of the customer remain unaffected. 4.2 Excluded from the granting of rights are components of the platform that are recognizable to the customer as subject to third-party rights and in particular open source licenses. Recognizable components are in particular those that are disclosed by Particula within the platform or in the text files supplied as third-party content. This includes in particular the score values, analyses and evaluations available on the platform as well as the asset information underlying these, posted and uploaded by the respective issuers (see section 4 of Appendix 1). 4.3 The customer is prohibited from transferring the platform to third parties unless expressly agreed otherwise. 4.4 To the extent permitted by the license model selected in the ordering process, the customer is entitled to create accounts for its employees (“user accounts”) so that they can access the platform. The maximum number of user accounts depends on the license model selected during the ordering process. Each user account must be registered with a separate company email address of the customer. After the registration process has been completed and checked and approved by Particula, the user account receives its individual access data for the platform by email to the specified company email address. 5.1 Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the customer pays Particula the fee agreed upon by selecting the respective license model in the course of the ordering process for the use of the platform. 5.2 Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the fees are annual and net plus applicable sales tax. 5.3 Unless expressly agreed otherwise, invoicing is annual and all amounts are due upon invoicing. If the customer grants Particula a SEPA direct debit mandate, Particula will not debit the invoice amount before the seventh day after the invoice date and the SEPA pre-notification from the agreed account. 5.4 Particula reserves the right to adjust the license fee agreed upon according to paragraph 5.1 at the end of each contract term (see paragraph 10) due to increased operating costs, additional or enhanced functionalities as well as increased usage volume of the customer compared to other users, but only to the extent of the actual additional costs incurred. Particula will inform the customer of this at least three months before the end of the respective contract term in writing or in text form. In the event of an increase of more than 10% compared to the previous year, the customer has the right to terminate the contract with a notice period of two months to the respective contract end. 6.1 The customer assures that they use the platform exclusively as an entrepreneur within the meaning of § 14 BGB. 6.2 The customer is responsible for regularly and appropriately backing up their data processed on the platform, insofar as this is technically possible for them. 6.3 Access and Access Data 6.3.1 The customer must securely store the access data to the platform and may only make it accessible to authorized employees. The customer undertakes to obligate its employees to handle the access data confidentially and to notify Particula immediately if there is suspicion that the access data could have become known to unauthorized persons. Furthermore, the customer undertakes to comply with all security precautions, functional and other restrictions of the platform. In particular, the customer may not remove, overcome, disable, or otherwise bypass security or authentication mechanisms. 6.3.2 The customer will instruct their employees on the permissible use of the platform in accordance with this contract. 6.3.3 The customer is prohibited from transferring the platform to third parties unless expressly agreed otherwise. 6.3.4 The customer is obligated to keep the information provided during registration up to date and to inform Particula immediately of any changes. This includes, in particular, data on the customer’s contact and business information. 6.4 Particula is entitled to block the customer’s access to the platform if 6.5.1 All rights to information, images, texts, and other content that are transmitted to Particula by the customer during the use of the platform (“Content“) remain with the customer. However, the customer grants Particula a non-exclusive right to use the content to the extent necessary to fulfill the contract with the customer. Particula is entitled to grant sub-licenses to its agents as far as this is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract. Otherwise, the right of use is not transferable. Particula is entitled to keep customer content beyond the duration of the contract if this is technically or legally (in particular to fulfill regulatory requirements) necessary. In particular, Particula is authorized to keep backup copies of the content provided by the customer and to temporarily or permanently store such information as is necessary for accounting, documentation, and billing purposes. 6.5.2 The customer guarantees that the content transmitted by them does not infringe the rights of third parties (for example, personal rights, rights to one’s own image, copyrights, trademark rights, etc.) or otherwise violate applicable law (for example, data protection regulations) (“Prohibited Content“). 6.5.3 Particula is entitled to block or remove Prohibited Content immediately; the same applies if Particula is obligated to do so due to a complaint from a third party, a court judgment, or by law. 6.5.4 The customer guarantees that they will comply with all applicable legal regulations when using the platform, especially copyright and data protection laws. The customer indemnifies Particula from all claims made by third parties due to the customer’s use of the platform. Particula will inform the customer immediately about claims made by third parties and provide the necessary information and documents for defense upon request. In addition, Particula will either leave the defense to the customer or carry it out in consultation with them. In particular, Particula will not acknowledge or undisputedly fulfill claims made by third parties without consulting the customer. The provisions of this clause apply accordingly to contractual penalties as well as official or court-imposed fines and penalties, as far as the customer is responsible for them. 6.6 The customer undertakes to refrain from any measures that could endanger or disrupt the functionality of the platform, and not to access or process data for which they are not authorized. In particular, the customer may not use scripts to query confidential data from other customers or to automatically redirect other customers to other internet offers outside the platform. Furthermore, the customer must ensure that their information transmitted via the platform and data entered are not infected with harmful computer programs, such as viruses, worms, Trojan horses, or other malware. 7.1 For free services, Particula provides a warranty in accordance with statutory provisions. 7.2 Otherwise, Particula provides a warranty for defects in the provision of the platform exclusively in accordance with the following provisions. 7.3 Defects are significant deviations from the contractually agreed functional scope of the platform. 7.4 If the services provided by Particula under this contract are defective, Particula will, within a reasonable period and upon receipt of a written (email sufficient) notice of defect from the customer, either rectify the services or re-perform them at its discretion. When using third-party software that Particula has licensed for use by the customer, the remedy consists of obtaining and installing generally available upgrades, updates, or patches. The provision of usage instructions by which the customer can reasonably circumvent the defect to use the platform in accordance with the contract is also considered a remedy. 7.5 If the defect-free provision of the services fails for reasons that Particula is responsible for, even within a reasonable period set by the customer in writing (email is sufficient), the customer may reduce the agreed remuneration by an appropriate amount. The right to reduction is limited to the monthly fixed price for the portion of the service that is defective. 7.6 If the reduction under clause 7.5 reaches the maximum amount specified in clause 7.5 in two consecutive months or in two months of a quarter, the customer can terminate the contract without notice. 7.7 The customer will promptly notify Particula of any defects in writing (email is sufficient). Furthermore, the customer will support Particula in the rectification of defects free of charge in a reasonable manner and, in particular, will provide Particula with all the information and documents that Particula needs for the analysis and rect 7.7 The customer shall promptly notify Particula of any defects that may occur, in writing (email is sufficient). Furthermore, the customer shall support Particula in rectifying the defects in a reasonable manner without charge, and shall in particular provide Particula with all information and documents necessary for the analysis and elimination of defects. 7.8 In addition to reduction or termination according to the previous sections, the customer may claim damages in accordance with legal regulations and the limitation of liability in section 8. 7.9 Any further warranty claims are excluded. 7.10 The statute of limitations for warranty claims is one year, unless they are based on intent or gross negligence, or concern damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health. 8.1 For free services, Particula is liable according to legal regulations. 8.2 Otherwise, Particula is fully liable for intent and gross negligence, as well as for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health. 8.3 In cases of simple negligence, Particula is liable for breach of a material contractual obligation. A material contractual obligation in the sense of this paragraph is an obligation whose fulfillment enables the implementation of the contract and upon whose fulfillment the customer may regularly rely. 8.4 In the case of paragraph 8.3, Particula is not liable for lack of economic success, lost profits, and indirect damages. 8.5 The liability according to the preceding paragraph 8.3 is limited to the typical, foreseeable damage at the time of contract conclusion. 8.6 Liability for damages due to data loss in the case of paragraph 8.3 is limited to the amount of data recovery that would have been incurred even with regular and hazard-responsive data backup by the customer. 8.7 The limitations of liability apply correspondingly in favor of employees, agents, and vicarious agents of Particula. 8.8 Any liability of Particula for given guarantees (which must be expressly designated as such) and for claims based on the Product Liability Act remains unaffected. 8.9 Any further liability of Particula is excluded. In particular, liability without fault for initial defects under § 536a para. 1, 1st alternative of the German Civil Code (BGB) is excluded. 9.1 The parties agree to treat confidential information and documents (“confidential information“) of the other party, which are either confidential due to the nature of the information or the circumstances of their disclosure, or which have been designated or marked as confidential by the disclosing party, like business and/or trade secrets, for the exclusive purposes of this contract, and not to disclose them to third parties. The receiving party will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent unauthorized access/disclosure of confidential information. Third parties within the meaning of this agreement also include affiliated companies of the receiving party in which the receiving party does not have a majority of capital and voting rights. The employees of the receiving party as well as other third parties commissioned by it (including subcontractors and freelancers) must be obliged accordingly. 9.2 Confidential information on the part of Particula includes in particular the software of the platform, as well as all technologies of Particula, information that Particula provides via the platform or in the context of support inquiries or collaboration for troubleshooting, as well as this contract, including its appendices and agreed conditions. 9.3 The receiving party is entitled to disclose the information and documents made available to it to third parties if and to the extent that this is essential for the fulfillment of this contract or the exercise of contractual rights, or is mandatory for legal or regulatory reasons. In the event of inquiries from third parties, courts, or administrative authorities regarding the disclosure of confidential information, the receiving party must immediately inform the disclosing party in writing or text form. The receiving party must also support the disclosing party in its efforts to prevent the disclosure of confidential information. 9.4 The obligation of confidentiality does not apply if the confidential information was already known to the receiving party before the disclosure, is generally known, or becomes known through no fault of the receiving party, was developed by the receiving party without access to the confidential information of the disclosing party, or is made known to third parties by a bona fide, authorized third party. Mandatory legal disclosure obligations remain reserved. If the receiving party relies on one or more of the aforementioned reasons, it must prove this by providing appropriate evidence. 9.5 The confidentiality obligation begins with the knowledge of the confidential information and exists for the entire duration of this contract. In addition, the confidentiality obligation exists for a period of three years from the termination or end of the contract term, unless legal provisions provide for a longer confidentiality obligation. In particular, any trade secrets are to be treated as confidential for as long as they are trade secrets. 9.6 During the validity of this confidentiality obligation, confidential information must be returned immediately, undamaged, and in full at the first request of Particula. Particula can also order that certain confidential information be destroyed, deleted, or placed in secure custody, and that the execution be confirmed in writing by the customer. The above provisions in this paragraph only apply to the extent that this does not significantly impair the contractual use of the contractual service. 9.7 As far as agreed in the service description, Particula is entitled to name the customer, stating the full company name and using the company logo, in marketing materials (including websites) as a reference customer. 9.8 With the exception of paragraph 9.7, the above provisions do not establish any intellectual property rights. All rights of use granted under this contract remain unaffected by the above provisions. 10.1 Unless otherwise agreed, the contract begins on the first calendar day of the month following the conclusion of the contract. 10.2 Unless otherwise agreed, the contract term is one year from the start of the contract. 10.3 The contract is extended by the agreed term unless terminated in writing by either party with a notice period of 6 months before the end of the respective term. 10.4 The right of the parties to terminate for good cause remains unaffected. For Particula, good cause exists in particular when: the customer repeatedly and despite prior warning from Particula posts prohibited content on the platform; the customer culpably violates their confidentiality obligation under clause 9; the customer is in arrears for more than six weeks with the payment of the agreed fee under clause 5 or otherwise culpably breaches this contract, and Particula has threatened termination with a notice period of two weeks prior to the termination taking effect, in text or written form, to the customer; a responsible authority (e.g., Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin)) demands the adjustment or termination of this contract or objects to or prohibits the execution of this contract. Particula may change these contract terms in accordance with this clause 11, provided this is done (i) to implement amended legal requirements or case law, (ii) to implement changed technical requirements, (iii) to maintain the operation of Particula’s service, (iv) to adapt to changed market conditions, and (v) in favor of the customer. An adjustment will only take place if it does not shift the contractual balance between Particula and the customer to the detriment of the customer. Particula will inform the customer of an adjustment at least six weeks in advance by a message within the platform or by email. The customer may object to the adjustment.

The provided information and analyses do not constitute a rating as defined in Art. 3 para. 1 lit. a) of Regulation EG/1060/2009 (“Rating Regulation“). A creditworthiness assessment as defined in Art. 3 para. 1 lit. a) of the Rating Regulation, evaluating the issuer’s creditworthiness, is expressly not part of the analysis. Furthermore, the information and analyses should not be considered as personal recommendations, offers, or solicitations to buy or sell the mentioned Digital Assets. The analyses are prepared by research analysts employed or commissioned by Particula. The analyses are created independently. It is possible that parts of the analyses were provided to the issuer for informational purposes before publication. However, this has no influence on the content of the analysis Particula has made necessary internal organizational and regulatory measures to avoid or disclose any possible conflicts of interest in relation to the creation and distribution of the analyses. All individuals involved in the creation of the analyses are subject to internal compliance rules. No part of the research analyst’s compensation serves directly or indirectly as an incentive for the creation of the analyses. If a research analyst or a closely related person encounters a conflict of interest, the research analyst is excluded from reporting on the issuer or the Digital Asset. The evaluation of Digital Assets is based on a rating logic (evaluation methods) and the assignment of specific score values based on the information provided by the respective issuer regarding the specific Digital Assets. Furthermore, the analyses are based on publicly available sources (such as registers, trading platforms, the relevant daily press) that are considered as reliable. Particula checks the information for plausibility but not for accuracy and completeness, and is not responsible for the content of the information provided. The following rating logic and score values are used: The decision on which Digital Assets to evaluate in the analyses was made exclusively by Particula. The opinions and assessments in the analyses can be changed without prior notice. It is at Particula’s discretion whether and when an update of the analysis will be published. The following risks regarding Digital Assets are pointed out: Particula is registered with BaFin – Federal Financial Supervisory Authority, Graurheindorfer Straße 108, 53117 Bonn, and Marie-Curie-Straße 24 – 28, 60439 Frankfurt a.M. The analyses are subject to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. The dissemination of information to other states, especially the USA, Canada, Australia, and Japan, may be restricted or prohibited by laws in those countries. If additional information regarding the analyses is required according to Art. 4 para. 1 of the Delegated Regulation EU/958/2016, this information is indicated in the analyses themselves. According to § 85 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG), an analysis must point out possible conflicts of interest in relation to the company being analyzed. A conflict of interest is particularly suspected in cases specified by Art. 6 para. 1 of the Delegated Regulation EU/958/2016 (e.g., significant ownership of the rated company/issuer, provision of securities services concerning the rated company/issuer, involvement in the issuance, agreement on the creation of the analysis). In case conflicts of interest exist, Particula will disclose these. As of now, Particula does not have any conflicts of interest to report regarding the analyzed issuers or Digital Assets. --- ### Page: https://particula-staging.webflow.io/code-of-conduct Title: Code of Conduct | Particula Meta Description: Particula's Code of Conduct defines principles for quality, independence, and integrity in digital asset risk ratings.

Enforcement and Communication Effective Date: August 2025 Particula is committed to contributing to a fair, efficient, and transparent digital asset market by delivering independent, data-driven, and methodologically sound Digital Asset Risk Ratings ("Risk Ratings"). These assessments are designed to reduce information asymmetry and support investor decision-making, particularly in the context of evolving tokenized asset structures. Ratings produced by Particula reflect the application of the Particula Digital Asset Risk Framework (PDARF). PDARF generates point-in-time risk indicators based exclusively on verifiable on- and off-chain data. These indicators reflect observed risk exposures at the time of review. The framework is not forward-looking and does not incorporate scenario analysis, market forecasts, or analyst discretion in the scoring process; all outputs are derived from the consistent application of the framework itself. Adjustments, where necessary, are made exclusively at the framework level and follow the defined governance process. Scores do not represent credit ratings under applicable regulatory definitions and are not intended to assess default probability or expected loss. This Code of Conduct defines the principles governing the integrity, quality, and independence of the risk rating process. It outlines measures to safeguard confidential information, ensure analytical rigor, manage conflicts of interest, and promote transparency and accountability throughout all aspects of the assessment process. Particula ensures that the information used in its Risk Ratings is of sufficient quality and derived from reliable sources, including third-party data providers. Risk Ratings are produced without any form of analyst discretion and are based exclusively on the structured application of PDARF. Any adjustments to methodology occur only at the framework level, under the oversight of the relevant governance bodies. All employees and consultants engaged by Particula are required to uphold the highest standards of professional conduct and to comply with this Code of Conduct and related policies. Annual training and attestation are mandatory. Oversight of compliance lies with the Head of Risk and Compliance. The Code, along with the General Terms and Conditions and the Platform Terms of Service, is publicly available on Particula’s website1. In the event of any inconsistency between this Code and the General Terms and Conditions, the latter shall prevail. All applicable disclaimers are incorporated by reference. 1 Although, in the interest of transparency, we have posted this Code and other related policies on Particula’s public website, Particula does not assume, as a result of such public disclosure, any responsibility or liability to any third party arising out of or relating to this Code or those policies. The Particula Code is not part of any contract with any third party, and no third party shall have any right to enforce any of its provisions. Particula also retains complete discretion to revise this Code at any time to reflect changes in Particula ratings policies and procedures or to address changes in market, legal, or regulatory circumstances. For the purposes of this Code, the following terms apply. Additional definitions from the General Terms and Conditions and the Platform Terms of Service are incorporated by reference. Analyst - Any employee or consultant of Particula whose responsibilities include (a) supporting the generation and ongoing monitoring of Risk Ratings produced through the structured application of the Particula Digital Asset Risk Framework (PDARF); (b) contributing to the development and refinement of methodologies, models, or assessment tools used in the risk rating process; or (c) supervision of individuals performing such functions. Employee - Any full-time or part-time staff member, contractor, or consultant engaged by Particula or any of its affiliated entities. All individuals performing rating-related activities are subject to this Code of Conduct. Methodology - The formally documented Particula Digital Asset Risk Framework (PDARF), which defines the scoring logic, attribute design, and data aggregation principles used to generate Ratings. Methodology changes are implemented only at the framework level and are subject to governance review. Rating Personnel - All individuals involved in the design, validation, quality control, oversight, or implementation of the methodology and scoring infrastructure used to generate Risk Ratings. This includes Analysts, as well as team members responsible for model calibration, data integration, and automated tooling. Risk Ratings are derived exclusively from the structured application of the framework and not assigned through individual discretion. 1. Particula’s Risk Ratings are derived from the quantitative, rule-based application of the framework set forth in the PDARF and are intended to reduce information asymmetry by offering structured, point-in-time assessments of digital assets. A Risk Rating is not a credit rating assessing creditworthiness and does not incorporate analyst judgement or forward looking assumptions. Ratings are based on the framework and analytical processes as per the PDARF, subject to periodic validation and review. 2. All Risk Ratings are generated using the deterministic rating framework subject to periodic backtesting and internal validation. The rating framework is subject to ongoing review to ensure it captures all material risk attributes and enables a comprehensive, multidimensional assessment of digital asset risks. Analysts shall apply the approved and published version of the rating framework rigorously and consistently in connection with Particula’s Risk Ratings and the PDARF, in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions and all applicable internal procedures. 3. Only verifiable, relevant, and high-quality data inputs - sourced from on-chain records and reliable off-chain disclosure (including third-party sources) - may be used in Risk Ratings. All underlying data, assessments, and model interactions used to produce a Risk Rating shall be retained and documented in accordance with applicable data governance policies. Particula commits to ensuring that appropriate analytical and operational resources are allocated to support accurate and timely Risk Ratings and associated monitoring functions. 4. Particula reserves the right to change, suspend, or withdraw a Risk Rating at any time if it determines that there has been a material change in the underlying information used in the rating framework, or if sufficient and reliable data is no longer available to support the assessment as further set forth in the General Terms and Conditions. 5. All Risk Ratings, including public, private and confidential ratings, are monitored on an ongoing basis using automated oversight mechanisms. Formal reassessments beyond the ongoing monitoring with respect to applicability of the framework to the particular digital asset, and appropriateness of the risk rating levels, are conducted at least annually, or sooner if triggered by significant developments. 6. Where material changes are observed in risk-relevant data inputs to a Risk Rating, the Risk Rating will be updated in accordance with the framework set forth in the PDARF and as more fully set forth in the General Terms and Conditions. 7. Changes to the framework set forth in the PDARF are implemented through a structured governance process as set forth in the PDARF. Revisions to PDARF will be communicated to all relevant stakeholders promptly. All impacted Risk Ratings are re-evaluated using the updated framework, and any required changes to the risk ratings are reflected promptly. 8. Particula, along with all its Analysts and Employees, adheres to all applicable laws, regulatory requirements, and governance standards. 9. Particula, along with all its Analysts and Employees, shall conduct all interactions with clients, issuers, investors, and other market participants in a fair, transparent, honest and professional manner. Risk Ratings are not pre-negotiated or previewed; no assurance or indication of score outcomes is provided prior to the finalization of the assessment. Particula will not provide rating advisory services, act as brokers or dealers, or have financial interests in rated digital assets or issuers of such rated assets. 10. Particula is committed to producing Risk Ratings that are independent, objective, and derived exclusively from its published rating framework. While feedback from issuers or other stakeholders may be reviewed, any revisions to the rating framework or resulting Risk Ratings will be made solely based on Particula’s independent and data-driven assessment, in accordance with the procedures outlined in the General Terms and Conditions. 11. Risk Ratings are produced independently of any commercial or strategic relationships. No business consideration, including issuer engagement or revenue, shall influence scoring outcomes. 12. Rating Personnel (i.e. Analysts or Employees taking part within the rating process) are operationally segregated from all revenue-generating and business development activities to avoid conflicts of interest. All Employees must maintain professional objectivity and act without bias or undue influence in the execution of their duties to maintain independence and objectivity. 13. Analysts and Rating Personnel are prohibited from soliciting or accepting cash, gifts, or items of value that could compromise, or appear to compromise, analytical independence. 14. Rating Personnel shall receive annual training on this Code of Conduct to ensure alignment with its principles and consistent application across the organization. This training reinforces the standards of analytical independence, objectivity, and professional integrity expected of all Employees. 15. Particula maintains formal policies to identify, manage and mitigate actual or potential conflicts of interest, including compliance reviews. 16. Rating Personnel compensation is not tied to the issuance or outcome of individual Risk Rating and excludes metrics based on issuer engagement or revenue performance. 17. Employees engaged in employment negotiations with an entity involved in a Risk Rating must disclose the interaction and be recused from the relevant assessment. 18. Rating Personnel and Employees shall not participate in assessments involving entities in which they hold financial interests or with whom they have material personal relationships. 19. Rating Personnel must disclose any circumstance that may give rise to a conflict of interest to their manager or to the Head of Risk and Compliance. 20. Rating Personnel and their immediate family members - defined as the employee's spouse or domestic partner (or any other person with whom an employee cohabits and shares financial responsibilities) - are prohibited from holding or trading digital assets associated with any issuer rated by Particula. 21. Annual attestations by Rating Personnel are required to confirm compliance with this Code of Conduct, including a declaration that neither they nor their immediate family members have had financial interest in any digital assets or tokens issued by entities rated by Particula. 22. If a Rating Personnel or Employee is determined to be in a conflict of interest- whether through financial holdings, immediate family relationships, or trading activity by themselves or their immediate family members - they shall be immediately recused from all current and future assessments involving the affected entity. The matter will be escalated to the Head of Risk and Compliance for formal review. Appropriate remedial actions, including reassignment, additional disclosures, or internal disciplinary measures may be taken to safeguard the integrity of the Risk Rating process and ensure ongoing compliance with this Code. 23. Risk Ratings and related actions will be communicated to relevant stakeholders in a timely and transparent manner, in accordance with this Code of Conduct and the General Terms and Conditions. The type of Risk Rating, which may be classified as public, private or confidential, will determine the appropriate mode and scope of disclosure. Public Risk Ratings will be published through Particula’s official channels; private Risk Ratings will be disclosed only to designated recipients; and confidential Risk Ratings will remain internal unless explicitly authorized for release. Particula reserves the right to revise or withdraw a Risk Rating if material changes occur in the underlying data or if updates to the rating framework materially affect the outcome, as further set forth in the General Terms and Conditions. 24. Particula encourages issuers of digital assets to publicly disclose relevant and verifiable information to support transparent assessments. However, confidential information provided directly by issuers may also be considered in the Risk Rating process, provided it meets Particula’s data assurance standards and is handled in accordance with applicable confidentiality protocols. 25. Confidential or private Risk Ratings that have entered the public domain will be treated as public and updated accordingly, provided that sufficient and verifiable data remains available to support the assessment. 26. All issuer-supplied confidential information is subject to strict confidentiality protections and is used solely for assessment purposes in accordance with PDARF and the General Terms and Conditions. 27.  Employees will not disclose non-public or confidential information except where legally required or formally authorized for regulatory disclosure upon the request of regulatory bodies. 28. Employees may not use confidential information for personal or third-party benefit, including trading in associated digital assets. 29. Employees will protect confidential information with respect to a Risk Rating, including the timing or content of pending Risk Ratings (except to the issuer and its designated agents) and as set forth in the General Terms and Conditions. 30. Particula employs technical and procedural safeguards to prevent fraud, use, or misuse or inadvertent disclosure and adheres to information security protocols. 31. Management and the Head of Risk and Compliance is responsible for implementing and enforcing this Code, and any associated policies and procedures. 32. All Employees undergo mandatory onboarding and ongoing training to ensure a clear understanding of this Code of Conduct, and related compliance obligations. Continuous training includes annual attestations on conflicts of interest and professional conduct, as well as yearly compliance training. Additional ad-hoc training is provided whenever material updates are made to the Code or related compliance obligations to ensure continued organizational alignment and awareness. 33. Particula will establish and maintain measures that Employee shall follow to address complaints regarding its Risk Ratings or Methodologies, as well as good faith reports that an Employee has violated applicable law or regulations or engaged in unethical Conduct. Particula will not retaliate against Employees who take action pursuant to this latter provision. 34. Particula maintains experienced leadership and qualified personnel, supported by established risk management procedures designed to identify and mitigate potential risks arising from its Risk Ratings and operations, including regulatory, reputational, operational, and strategic risks. 35. This Code will be made publicly available via Particula’s website and shared with all Employees and applicable third parties. 36. Management and the Head of Risk and Compliance maintains the primary responsibility, with the support of the company management, for monitoring adherence to this Code and addressing all confirmed breaches in accordance with internal disciplinary policy. 37. The Code is subject to review at least annually and may be updated to reflect changes in regulation, methodology, or internal procedures. 38. All Employees must review and attest to their compliance with this Code of Conduct on an annual basis. --- ### Page: https://particula-staging.webflow.io/blog/1-44-billion-milestone-in-tokenized-treasury-bonds-particula-monthly-fundamentals-june-2024 Title: $1.44 Billion Milestone in Tokenized Treasury Bonds: Particula Monthly Fundamentals Meta Description: This month, explore the $1.44 Billion growth on the treasury bond market, Swiss wholesale CBDC trial, US Congress negotiations regarding public blockchains, the latest report by McKinsey & Company, and TOKENFUTURE2024 highlights.

The recent accomplishment of BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, surpassing $500 million in assets under management within just four months of its launch, serves as a testament to the accelerating adoption of digital assets within the financial industry. This achievement underscores the robust growth and confidence in tokenized assets and highlights the trend of other notable tokens, such as USDM and OUSG, reallocating their assets to BUIDL due to its compelling features and strategic advantages. Notably, OUSG by Ondo Finance contributes to 40% of the assets under management of BUIDL, illustrating the substantial impact and trust in the BUIDL fund. Moreover, integration of the BUIDL token as collateral by leading institutional brokers like FalconX and Hidden Road is further enhancing its utility and accelerating its adoption. Amidst this dynamic backdrop, three tokens—BUIDL, USDM, and OUSG—stand out, each tailored to distinct market demands. Both USDM and OUSG tokens provide exposure to BUIDL, making it noteworthy to compare them, especially as tokenization is fundamentally transforming all major product features. Consequently, as the tokenized asset market continues to grow, it is increasingly important for investors to understand the token level to make informed investment decisions. This article aims to compare BUIDL, USDM and OUSG tokens by examining their operational strategies, market positioning, and regulatory compliance, to exemplify their unique strengths and  delineate the challenges they face from a risk perspective. We will also analyze the product structures, associated investor rights and conditions attached to each token. By exploring these aspects, we offer insights into navigating the complexities of the digital finance landscape and making well-informed investment choices. BUIDL, issued by BlackRock and tokenized through Securitize, is structured as an ERC-20 token operating on the Ethereum network. Based in the British Virgin Islands, BUIDL primarily invests in low-risk, short-term US Treasury securities, aiming to offer security and liquidity to its investors. A significant feature of BUIDL is its USDC liquidity facility, which is managed through smart contracts, facilitating immediate token exchanges. This feature significantly enhances liquidity and focuses on offering an efficient means of managing digital asset investments. OUSG, offered by Ondo Finance, provides liquid exposure to short-term US Treasuries with 24/7 tokenized subscriptions and redemptions. Operating as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana, OUSG focuses on ultra low-risk investments in US Treasury bills. The majority of its portfolio is invested in BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, with additional allocations in FedFund, bank deposits, and USDC for liquidity. Key features include instant minting and redemption, low minimum investment amounts, and two versions of the token: accumulating (OUSG) and rebasing (rOUSG). The USDC liquidity facility offered with BUIDL further enhances immediate liquidity, making OUSG a flexible and efficient investment option. (Read our full OUSG report here) USDM, offered by Bermuda-based Mountain Protocol Limited, is a yield-bearing stablecoin initially launched on the Ethereum network and expanded operations to Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base. As an ERC-20 rebasing token pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, USDM is redeemable by primary users on the Mountain Protocol platform. It is backed by low-risk assets, including U.S. Treasury bills, notes, obligations guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, reverse repurchase agreements with the Federal Reserve, and cash. USDM accrues daily rewards through a manual adjustment of the rewardMultiplier and is also available as a non-rebasing token (wUSDM) for easier integration with DeFi protocols. In conclusion, it is important to carefully evaluate all investment options, and consider the distinct advantages each token offers. By doing so, you can make strategic decisions that align with your financial goals and risk tolerance. Stay proactive and engaged to leverage the opportunities presented by these innovative digital assets.

Backed is a tokenized asset issuer bridging financial assets on-chain that has recently secured $9.5 million in a Series A funding round to enhance its private tokenization services, connecting asset managers and funds with blockchain technology. Backed was founded in Zug, Switzerland, in 2021 and moved its issuance operations to Jersey in early 2024. Backed's central operations revolve around the issuance and redemption of “bTokens”, permissionless ERC-20 tokens on EVM-compatible chains that track the price of an underlying asset, which is held on their behalf by licensed third-party custodians. Currently, Backed has 17 tokens on the market. The tokens convey legal ownership of structured products which are fully backed by the underlying asset, including accumulating fixed-income products such as US Treasury Bond and Corporate Bond ETFs and equities. At the time of writing, token issuance volume has surpassed $50 million. Backed has launched a new suite of services tailored for financial institutions, emphasizing security and compliance. The new services include Tokenized Trackers, Tokenized Actively Managed Certificates (AMCs), and a Tokenization Platform. In addition, Backed integrated Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve technology for selected tokens, which are on-chain attestations of assets in custody, audited by The Network Firm. In July 2024, Particula assigned an AA rating* to the issuance of Backed NVIDIA token by Backed. The bNVDA token is a tracker certificate issued as an ERC-20 token tracking the price of NVIDIA Corporation stock. The rating reflects the token’s strong market presence, robust product structure, and secure, transparent infrastructure, supported by regulatory oversight. Key strengths include the token’s compliance with MiFID regulations and its integration within a broad blockchain ecosystem. However, challenges such as counterparty risk, technical vulnerabilities, and market liquidity constraints were noted. bTokens are designed for both professional and retail investors, with their successful issuance and operation relying on the effectiveness of Backed's risk management practices and the evolving regulatory landscape. Rating: AA rating* assigned by Particula in July 2024 for the bNVDA token. Regulatory Compliance: The token is MiFID compliant and under strict regulatory oversight. Market Presence: Backed ranks among the top 10 issuers of tokenized public securities with a 2.4% market share. Blockchain Ecosystem: Integrated across multiple blockchains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Polygon. Key Strengths: Strong market presence, high compliance standards, and low custodial risks. Challenges: Counterparty risks, technical vulnerabilities, and liquidity constraints. Target Investors: The token is primarily available to professional investors. A partnership with INX, which lists them as an approved participant in their prospectus, has enabled retail secondary market trading (excluding the US and Canada). Backed has recently announced a similar partnership with eNor Securities. Future Sensitivities: Potential rating changes may arise from shifts in regulatory requirements or market sentiment.

Heavyweights like BlackRock have entered the space, driving significant growth in Total Value Locked (TVL) and signaling increasing investor confidence and interest. The financial industry is witnessing a transformation with the rise of tokenized assets, marking a pivotal moment in 2024. Heavyweights like BlackRock have entered the space, driving significant growth in Total Value Locked (TVL) and signaling increasing investor confidence and interest. However, this burgeoning market faces unique challenges that must be addressed to unlock its full potential and integrate seamlessly into the global financial ecosystem. Tokenized assets introduce a new layer of complexity to traditional financial instruments. Unlike conventional securities, tokenized assets operate on blockchain technology, exposing investors to a unique set of risks. These include: Understanding the risks inherent in tokenized assets is the first step toward building a robust framework for navigating this evolving market. However, identifying these challenges is not enough—proactive measures must be taken to address them effectively. By implementing comprehensive risk management strategies and leveraging innovative tools, investors and institutions can mitigate these risks, protect their interests, and unlock the full potential of tokenized assets. As digital assets become increasingly integrated into the financial system, the complexity of managing the associated risks has grown. Cryptocurrencies, decentralized finance (DeFi) products, and other digital instruments offer promising opportunities but also introduce unique challenges. Traditional risk management frameworks often struggle to adapt to digital markets' fast-paced, volatile nature. Recognizing this gap, Particula has developed a specialized risk assessment and analytics platform tailored specifically for the digital asset space. Tokenized assets hold immense promise, offering innovative products and expanding access to previously untapped markets. However, these opportunities come with significant risks that require a sophisticated approach to management. By integrating robust risk assessment frameworks, leveraging advanced analytics, and adopting continuous monitoring practices, financial institutions can confidently navigate this complex landscape. At Particula, we have developed the first rating and analytics platform for tokenized assets. Our goal is to provide the next generation of ratings for the next generation of assets in order to give investors instant security, clarity and better market access.

As institutional adoption grows, risk frameworks must evolve to match the unique characteristics of tokenized finance. As of early 2025, the digital asset market has surpassed $3 trillion, encompassing cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and tokenized assets. This explosive growth highlights the increasing adoption of digital assets by investors, institutions, and financial markets worldwide. However, as digital finance expands, the risks associated with these assets also evolve—risks that differ significantly from those in traditional finance. A recent example of these risks emerged on February 21, 2025, when North Korean hackers from the Lazarus Group exploited a vulnerability in the Safe{Wallet} infrastructure, compromising a developer's machine. This allowed them to inject malicious code targeting Bybit, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, resulting in the theft of approximately $1.5 billion. This incident underscores one of the major vulnerabilities of digital finance - technological risks and cybersecurity threats - which remain a key concern for investors and institutions navigating this dynamic market. Yet, cybersecurity is just one piece of the puzzle. While tokenized securities, stablecoins, and DeFi products unlock new investment opportunities, they also introduce fundamental risks related to market volatility, liquidity, regulation, transparency, and counterparty exposure. Understanding these risks isn’t just about damage control - it’s about building a resilient framework that allows digital finance to scale securely and efficiently in an increasingly tokenized economy. Volatility is one of the most visible differences between digital and traditional assets. In traditional finance, price swings tend to be moderated by economic fundamentals, liquidity, and risk hedging strategies. Digital assets, however, often exhibit more extreme fluctuations due to structural differences in market behavior. 1️⃣ Speculation & Sentiment: Unlike stocks, which derive value from earnings and dividends, digital assets often rely on market perception and speculative trading. A single tweet from a major figure (e.g., Elon Musk’s Bitcoin comments) can send prices soaring or crashing. 2️⃣ Liquidity Constraints: While Bitcoin and Ethereum are relatively liquid, many digital assets have thin order books. This means small trades can create massive price movements—something rarely seen in traditional markets. 3️⃣ Regulatory News: Unlike equities, where regulations are well-established, the legal status of many tokens is still unclear. SEC lawsuits, government bans, or tax law changes often create sudden volatility spikes. (As of February 2025, the Trump administration is developing a federal regulatory framework for digital assets, aiming to enhance transparency and provide clearer guidelines for issuers.) 4️⃣ Smart Contract & Protocol Risks: Other than traditional finance, where transactions are cleared through regulated institutions, DeFi operates on self-executing code. This means that protocol failures, exploits, or governance decisions could directly impact asset prices and ownership. 💡 Takeaway:Volatility is inherent in emerging markets, and digital assets are no exception. However, risk-adjusted strategies can help institutions navigate these fluctuations. Real-time monitoring, dynamic hedging mechanisms, and on-chain analytics enable investors to make informed decisions. Traditional markets, depending on the asset classes are highly liquid due to deep institutional participation. Digital assets, on the other hand, still lack the depth and maturity seen in equities and bonds. 💡 Takeaway:As institutional adoption and tokenized secondary markets grow, liquidity conditions will improve, but for now, investors must account for execution risk when trading digital assets. Unlike traditional assets, which operate within established legal and supervisory frameworks, digital assets are governed by a patchwork of evolving rules that differ significantly across jurisdictions. This lack of regulatory uniformity remains one of the most critical risk factors in the digital asset space. 1️⃣ Jurisdictional Conflicts: A single digital asset can be classified as a security in the U.S., a commodity in Europe, and entirely unregulated elsewhere—creating a fragmented compliance landscape for global participants.2️⃣ Unclear Investor Protections: Traditional financial instruments benefit from long-standing consumer protection rules. In contrast, many digital asset investors have limited recourse in the event of exchange insolvencies, custodial failures, or smart contract exploits.3️⃣ AML/KYC Compliance Issues: Many DeFi platforms and decentralized exchanges don’t require KYC, making them a target for regulatory scrutiny. 💡 Takeaway:Regulatory uncertainty is not just a compliance issue—it directly impacts market liquidity, exchange operations, and investor confidence. However regulatory uncertainty also represents an opportunity for issuers and investors to align with emerging compliance frameworks. Institutions that integrate risk assessments, adhere to jurisdictional best practices, and leverage compliance technology will have a competitive edge. Blockchain technology enables transparency, decentralization, and efficiency, but it also introduces risks that traditional assets might not face. 1️⃣ Cybersecurity Threats: Traditional banks fortify assets with layered security and insurance; in contrast, crypto platforms, operating on open networks, remain lucrative hacker targets, frequently breached via exploits, phishing, and private key theft. 2️⃣ Smart Contract Failures: Unlike conventional software bugs, a single vulnerability in a smart contract is fatal - exploits execute instantly, draining funds permanently with no recourse, demanding airtight security from inception. 3️⃣ Protocol Risks: Traditional finance benefits from swift, authoritative intervention; blockchain protocols, governed by fragmented stakeholders, often struggle with slow, contentious governance, delaying critical responses to threats. 💡 Takeaway:Security failures aren’t hypothetical—they translate to real financial loss. Mitigating risk demands rigorous security protocols, proactive risk management, institutional-grade custody, continuous smart contract audits and monitoring. In traditional finance, counterparty risk refers to the risk that the other party in a transaction defaults on their obligations. This risk is mitigated by banks, clearinghouses, and regulatory oversight, ensuring structured recourse mechanisms in case of failure. In digital assets, however, counterparty risk is fundamentally different. Transactions occur peer-to-peer, often without a trusted intermediary, meaning that if something goes wrong, there may be no legal recourse. The rise of decentralized finance (DeFi) has further changed the risk landscape, introducing smart contract-driven counterparty interactions where trust is placed in code rather than institutions. 1️⃣ Centralized Exchange (CEX) Risk: Investors entrust funds to exchanges, which control custody of their assets. If an exchange fails due to fraud, insolvency, or regulatory issues, user funds could be lost. 2️⃣ DeFi Counterparty Risk: Smart contracts execute trades, lending, and other financial functions without a central party. However, code vulnerabilities, governance attacks, and liquidity failures could lead to major losses. 3️⃣ Issuer Risk in Tokenized Assets: Tokenized bonds, real estate, and other RWAs are issued by private entities. If an issuer defaults, fails to honor redemptions, or lacks regulatory clarity, investors may not be able to recover funds. 💡 Takeaway:While DeFi eliminates trust in intermediaries, it introduces new risks that require sophisticated risk management strategies. Counterparty risk does not have to be a blind spot. With on-chain analytics tools, rating models, and risk scoring systems, investors can quantify and manage counterparty exposure more effectively. Digital assets present both opportunities and challenges. As institutional adoption grows, risk frameworks must evolve to match the unique characteristics of tokenized finance.Particula’s risk rating and monitoring platform helps bridge that gap—turning fragmented, fast-moving data into structured insights that support confident decision-making. In a world where risks no longer follow traditional rules, tools like Particula offer the clarity needed to navigate what's next.

Fixed income products are issued within specific legal frameworks that ensure regulatory compliance, protect investors, and optimize tax and operational efficiencies. Each jurisdiction provides distinct structures governed by laws designed to address market stability, investor protection, and capital formation. (Issuers for e.g.: Franklin Templeton, WisdomTree) The Investment Company Act of 1940 is one of the most significant pieces of U.S. financial legislation, establishing stringent requirements for investment vehicles, particularly mutual funds and closed-end funds. The Act was passed in response to the 1929 stock market crash and the subsequent Great Depression, aiming to protect retail investors from risks associated with pooled investments. (Issuer for e.g.: Ondo Finance) The Securities Act of 1933 mandates that all securities offered in the U.S. must be registered with the SEC unless they qualify for an exemption. Two critical exemptions for fixed income products are Regulation S and Regulation D, both of which allow issuers to raise capital without the costs and time associated with SEC registration. Regulation SRegulation S, adopted in 1990, allows U.S. and foreign issuers to sell securities to international investors outside the U.S. without SEC registration. Regulation DRegulation D, enacted in 1982, offers exemptions for private placements of securities within the U.S., limiting such offerings to accredited investors. (Issuer for e.g.: Superstate) The Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) structure has become a popular choice for issuing structured finance products such as asset-backed securities (ABS) and mortgage-backed securities (MBS). This structure is governed by the Delaware Statutory Trust Act of 1988, codified under Delaware Title 12, Chapter 38. Assets held in the trust are isolated from the issuer’s balance sheet, providing protection in case of bankruptcy, which is critical in securitization transactions (Issuer for e.g.: BlackRock & Securitize) A registered transfer agent is a critical intermediary in the issuance and management of fixed income products, especially bonds. These entities are regulated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which was designed to restore market confidence after the 1929 market crash by regulating post-issuance securities transactions.

Particula and the Digital Token Identifier (DTI) Foundation are pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This collaboration aims to transition crypto-asset identification from the International Token Identification Number (ITIN) previously established by ITSA to the use of DTIs. Additionally, token reference data will be integrated based on the ITC framework into the DTI Registry, positioning the DTI as the premier global identifier in accordance with ISO standards. The ITC framework provides a comprehensive taxonomy for classifying digital assets, already applied to over 1,000 tokens and continuously updated with new tokens, dimensions, and classes. Encompassing over 10 dimensions - including economic, technological, and legal aspects - this detailed classification system ensures a holistic understanding of digital assets, enhancing market transparency and consistency. Simultaneously, the DTI Foundation’s ISO DTI standard for digital token identification is increasingly adopted by crypto and digital asset market infrastructure providers, service providers, and regulators. The adoption of DTIs by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation underscores the importance of standardized identifiers for transparency reporting, order book management, offering documentation, and record-keeping. By integrating the comprehensive classification capabilities of ITC with the widely recognized ISO DTI standard, this collaboration will create a more robust and reliable system for digital token identification and classification. The unified approach will not only enhance market transparency and operational efficiency but also support regulatory compliance and risk mitigation for market participants. “We are excited to partner with Particula to strengthen a unified market standard for token identification and enhance our data offerings,” said Rowan Varrall, Associate Director at DTI Foundation. “This collaboration will provide significant value to our users by offering standardized classification methods and access to high-quality reference data.” Axel Jester, Senior Vice President of Business Development of Particula adds: “We are thrilled to join forces with the DTI Foundation to integrate our comprehensive classification framework into the DTI Registry and continue the work pioneered by the ITSA and Prof. Dr. Philipp Sandner. We invite all former ITSA members and other market participants to join our upcoming classification working group to align further methodology developments with actual market needs. Our combined efforts will facilitate greater transparency and compliance for digital asset issuers and service providers in the evolving market landscape.” Cryptographic tokens running on DLT systems will soon form an integral part of various major economic sectors. As such they are going to provide utility and value in many different forms to business and society as a whole. Moreover, cryptographic tokens are also on the verge of representing a recognized institutional asset class. Yet, the current token markets still lack a tangible and holistic framework for the identification, classification and analysis of different token types, which leads to economic, technological as well as regulatory uncertainty and a lack of transparency for all players involved. With the objective of addressing these shortcomings, the International Token Standardization Association (ITSA) aims at implementing a comprehensive market standards for the global token economy.

Munich, GER – April 29, 2025, 2:00 PM CET – Particula, the leading provider of AI-driven risk intelligence for digital assets, has raised $5.5 million in a funding round led by SixThirty Ventures, Vanagon Ventures, and Futury Capital, with participation from TX Ventures, Blackwood Ventures, Tenity, Blue Bay Ventures, Plug and Play Tech Center, and high-profile angel investors. Osborne Clarke advised Particula on the transaction. The investment highlights the surging institutional demand for automated, real-time risk assessment in the digital asset space. As the digital asset economy matures, market participants face increasing complexity in assessing risk. Particula provides automated risk ratings that analyze issuer credibility, asset backing, regulatory compliance, and smart contract security. By offering independent, data-driven insights, the company already empowers major financial institutions, leading issuers and several trading facilities, to assess digital assets with confidence, reinforcing its role as a key driver of trust and transparency in digital finance. To accelerate growth and deepen institutional engagement, Particula is relocating its headquarters to the United States, positioning itself at the center of a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. As U.S. regulators refine their approach to digital assets, a shift toward clearer frameworks and increased institutional participation is expected. This transition reinforces the growing need for independent risk assessment solutions that provide real-time transparency across digital financial products. By establishing a presence in the U.S., Particula is strengthening its position in one of the most influential financial markets, ensuring it remains at the forefront of shaping risk intelligence standards for the future of digital finance. “As Particula enters this next phase of growth, we remain committed to setting new standards in digital asset risk intelligence - ensuring that the future of finance is not only tokenized but also secure, scalable, and transparent,” said Timm Reinsdorf, CEO of Particula. “The tokenization of traditional financial assets— bonds, funds, securities, real estate— represents a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity.  As regulated institutions adopt tokenization to boost liquidity, distribution, and efficiency, they face challenges with DeFi interoperability. Particula addresses this by offering automated risk rating and monitoring of tokenized assets at scale, enabling the convergence of DeFi and TradFi. Founders Timm, Nadine, and Carsten, rooted in digital assets and DeFi, are seizing the larger TradFi opportunity, and we’re thrilled to join them on this journey alongside our co-investors.” said Chandresh Iyer, General Partner of SixThirty Ventures.“With the financial system’s underlying technology being fundamentally redefined, the need for a resilient and trustworthy digital infrastructure has never been greater. We backed Particula at the pre-seed stage as their first investor, recognizing their bold vision and strong execution—firmly believing they are poised to play a defining role in shaping and scaling the entire digital asset class.", said Axel Roitzsch, General Partner of Vanagon."We see enormous opportunities in the area of asset tokenization. With its team and technology, Particula is excellently positioned to further expand its leading market position in this growth market. We look forward to working together with the team and our co-investors." said Benjamin Krahmer, Managing Director of Futury Capital.“The market for tokenized assets, particularly in the fund sector, is experiencing exponential growth. While this technology brings significant advantages — enhancing efficiency, transparency, and accessibility — it also introduces new challenges, including regulatory uncertainty, liquidity constraints, and compliance risks. Particula has addressed these concerns head-on by developing the leading rating engine for institutional investors, enabling them to assess and invest in the best digital assets with confidence. We are excited to support Particula on their journey and believe their solution will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of tokenized finance.” said Jens Schleuniger, Managing Partner of TX Ventures.

Author: Dr. Jeeta Ann Chacko, Technical Research Analyst at Particula When BlackRock announced its BUIDL fund token, which represents $2.8 billion in tokenized U.S. Treasuries and is issued via the regulated platform Securitize, many in the industry saw it as a pivotal moment. Yet, the process of tokenizing even an AAA-rated asset introduces a range of new operational and technical risks, such as smart contract vulnerabilities, that do not exist in traditional finance. When the same token is launched across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Solana, and Aptos, the complexity grows. What once seemed like a simple rating becomes far more complicated. Can a tokenized AAA bond on Ethereum truly maintain the same rating when traded on Polygon or Solana? This uncertainty raises important questions for investors, institutions, and the future of on-chain finance. Particula is focused on tackling this very challenge by providing deeper blockchain-integrated risk analysis. Their approach evaluates digital assets not only for financial factors like legal compliance and investor protections, but also for technical aspects such as infrastructure, accessibility, and security. The prevailing narrative in the digital assets space is that “a token is a token.” If you hold BUIDL on any blockchain, you’re holding the same risk, the same rights, and the same value. But this assumption glosses over a critical truth: blockchains are not interchangeable. Each network has unique infrastructure, validator diversity, and systemic risk. Treating tokens as identical across chains is like assuming that holding securities at a large, regulated U.S. custodian carries the same risk as holding them at a smaller, less regulated or offshore institution.Let’s look at the numbers. Currently, more than $261 billion in tokenized assets and stablecoins span over 27 blockchain networks, backed by assets such as T-bills, bonds, and gold. Ethereum dominates tokenized asset deployments with over $7B in total value locked, but competitors like Stellar ($400M+) and Solana ($290M+) are rapidly gaining momentum. These assets are spread across 89+ platforms, with liquidity fragmented by different bridge paths, custody arrangements, and settlement mechanisms. Yet, most analysis and ratings still focus solely on the token and its issuer, ignoring the critical role of the blockchain itself. This oversight is dangerous. Imagine two investors, Alice and Bob. Both buy BUIDL tokens. Alice receives hers on Ethereum, while Bob opts for Solana. On paper, their tokens represent the same underlying U.S. Treasuries. But in practice, their risk exposure diverges: If a major exploit targets a bridge or if a chain suffers downtime, the impact on token liquidity, accessibility, or even redemption could be profound. In such a scenario, is it fair or safe to say Alice and Bob hold assets with the same risk profile? When evaluating tokenized assets, investors must look beyond the surface and consider the underlying blockchain metrics that shape their experience. Market capitalization and holder concentration, for example, directly influence liquidity and the ease with which investors can enter or exit positions. A network with a high market cap and a broad distribution of tokens, such as Ethereum, typically offers deeper liquidity pools and more robust secondary markets. This makes it easier for investors to transact at fair prices with minimal slippage, and it reduces the risk that a small group of holders could manipulate the market or destabilize the ecosystem. Another crucial metric is throughput, which is measured in transactions per second. High-throughput blockchains like Solana can process a much larger volume of transactions quickly and at low cost. For investors, this translates to greater accessibility, especially during periods of high demand. It also supports use cases that require rapid settlement, such as trading or collateral management. However, high throughput can sometimes come with trade-offs in decentralization or stability, which introduces its own set of considerations. Decentralization is often quantified by the Nakamoto Coefficient, which represents the minimum number of entities needed to compromise the network’s liveliness. A higher value, as seen in Avalanche, indicates that no single party or small group can easily disrupt the network’s operation. This metric is vital for investors who are concerned about censorship resistance, network resilience, and systemic risk. A decentralized network is less likely to experience outages or governance capture, which can directly impact the security and reliability of tokenized assets. The speed and certainty of transaction settlement are critical considerations for investors. Time to finality, which refers to how quickly a transaction becomes irreversible, is notably low on Avalanche, giving investors confidence that their transactions are settled swiftly and cannot be undone. This is particularly important for institutions that require rapid and reliable settlement. Block time, which measures the average interval between new blocks, is especially low on Aptos, resulting in near-instant transaction confirmations. For investors, this means enhanced user experience, improved responsiveness, and the ability to react quickly to market developments. Together, these metrics reduce settlement risk and support more dynamic, time-sensitive financial strategies. Each of these metrics translates into tangible benefits or risks for investors. Understanding the nuances behind these numbers and how they are reflected in different blockchain ecosystems is essential for making informed decisions in the rapidly evolving world of tokenized assets. Further, these represent just a selection of the numerous factors that must be considered when evaluating a blockchain's risk profile. This is particularly important for institutions that require rapid and reliable settlement.

Together, these metrics reduce settlement risk and support more dynamic, time-sensitive financial strategies. At Particula, we believe a token’s risk profile is never just about the token; it’s also about the blockchain ecosystem where it operates. That is why we advocate for blockchain-integrated ratings, assessments that evaluate blockchain infrastructure as a core part of the financial stack. A robust, blockchain-integrated rating should consider several dimensions: By looking beyond the token and examining the blockchain itself, we bring much-needed transparency to an increasingly complex digital assets landscape. Only then can investors and institutions make safer, more informed decisions, no matter where their assets reside. Particula is the prime rating provider for digital assets, transforming on- and off-chain data into actionable insights. The company delivers next-generation risk ratings and comprehensive analyses, across technical, economic, governance, and compliance dimensions – providing the clarity and confidence needed to navigate the complexities of digital finance.

As the landscape of digital assets rapidly evolves, precise navigation through its complexity and diversity becomes crucial for investors. Merging advanced technology with traditional asset principles, these new investment vehicles offer unique challenges and opportunities that differ across sectors and asset types, demanding a novel and specialized approach to their evaluation. But the development of a standardized valuation framework for digital assets encounters significant challenges, primarily due to the lack of uniform standards and industry consensus. This challenge is compounded by investors’ lack of a unified understanding and standardized terminology to precisely differentiate digital assets. The diversity in formats and the varying scope of information provided by issuers further complicate the establishment of a consistent comparison methodology, thorough due diligence, and a systematic approach to quality assessment and benchmarking. These hurdles obstruct reliable price discovery, underlining the need for an innovative and comprehensive classification system to effectively manage the inherent risks and unlock the potential returns for investors. The Particula Digital Asset Classification System (PDACS) offers a comprehensive taxonomy for classifying digital assets across three dimensions, focusing on their unique product characteristics. The tokenization process or the addition of smart contract logic fundamentally changes all key product features of any underlying asset. This change affects operational infrastructure, valuation mechanisms, fiscal compliance, and the applicable legal framework that requires a new perspective on asset classification. Tokenization Creates a Separate Asset Class with Unique Product Features Market data highlights the profitability of the tokenization of Real World Assets (RWAs), which achieved substantial returns of 285.6% in Q1 2024. This positions RWAs as the second most profitable crypto narrative during the period, surpassing other lucrative narratives like AI. This strong performance underscores the growing acceptance and recognition of tokenized assets as viable investment instruments, reflecting a maturing market environment. The growing acceptance of tokenized assets as viable investment instruments is further demonstrated by a survey conducted by EY among 256 institutional investors . The survey found that 57% of respondents expressed interest in investing in tokenized assets, particularly in tokenized private funds, securities (e.g., bonds and stocks), and public funds. Hedge funds were among the institutions most likely to invest initially, with significant interest in tokenization across public, private, and real estate funds. At the first level, the token is valued in terms of its underlying asset, distinguishing between analog and digital underlyings and considering structuring as a single asset or as a collective basket. The aim is to determine whether the value of the token is backed by a tangible asset. Here, the token is evaluated based on its manufacturing process, identifying whether it involves tokenizing an existing analog asset – effectively adding a technological layer to a pre-existing product – or constructing a new smart contract to embed data and logic for digital-only underlyings or assets issued directly on-chain. The concluding classification incorporates the product’s structural nuances, taking into account both smart contract functionalities and the issuer’s terms and conditions. This assessment focuses on ownership rights, utilities, cash flows, and the resulting legal classifications, aiming to provide a conclusive understanding of the token’s regulatory and operational framework. PDACS introduces a standardized framework for digital asset classification, considering the underlying asset, manufacturing process, and specific product structuring, along with investor rights and regulatory implications. It equips stakeholders with a unified communication platform, enabling accurate risk anticipation and opportunity identification. Additionally, PDACS lays the groundwork for further market standardization and underpins our programmatic rating framework, facilitating a consistent, automated, and thus comparable assessment of digital assets. This approach not only enhances market transparency but also fosters informed decision-making in the dynamic digital asset ecosystem.

At Particula, we view private credit as the next major frontier in the digital asset space, following the successful tokenization of funds and bonds. Real-world assets (RWAs), excluding stablecoins, now account for 15% of total on-chain value locked (TVL), having expanded by over 60% in 2024 to reach $13.7 billion. Notably, private credit constitutes approximately 70% of the RWA market, surpassing other categories such as Treasury bills and commodities. The rapid evolution of this sector is driven by a growing appetite for higher-yield opportunities and advancements in tokenization infrastructure. Industry leaders like Figure have significantly contributed to this growth, facilitating nearly $4 billion in tokenized private credit in 2024 alone. Traditionally dominated by institutional investors and specialized funds, private credit has been a cornerstone of global finance. Despite its growth and resilience, the market faces persistent challenges, including illiquidity, high transaction costs, and restricted accessibility. Tokenization emerges as a potential solution, poised to transform how private credit is structured, traded, and accessed. This article kicks off a three-part series exploring the private credit market, its challenges, and whether tokenization could be the answer. Private credit refers to debt investments that are not issued or traded on public markets. These include direct lending, mezzanine debt, distressed debt, and other bespoke financing arrangements. Over the past 15 years, private credit has emerged as one of the fastest-growing segments of the financial system, reaching nearly $2 trillion by the end of 2023—a tenfold increase since 2009 (McKinsey, 2024). This surge is driven by growing demand for alternative financing solutions as traditional banking faces regulatory constraints and risk aversion.Key Characteristics of Private Credit: While these characteristics make private credit attractive, they also present inefficiencies that introduce systemic risks and opportunities for technological disruption. One of the primary challenges is illiquidity, as private credit investments typically involve long investment horizons that limit investor flexibility. Unlike public markets, where assets can be traded relatively quickly, private credit instruments often require investors to commit their capital for extended periods, reducing their ability to react to changing market conditions. High costs also present a significant barrier, driven by the reliance on multiple intermediaries such as custodians and administrators. These middlemen add layers of complexity and expense to transactions, ultimately diminishing overall returns and making private credit less accessible to a broader investor base. Another critical issue is the lack of transparency inherent in private credit markets. The complex structures of private credit deals, coupled with limited reporting standards, create significant information asymmetries. Investors often struggle to obtain a clear view of underlying risks, making informed decision-making more challenging. Moreover, restricted access remains a persistent obstacle, with institutional investors dominating the space. Retail investors and smaller institutions are often excluded from participating due to high entry barriers and regulatory requirements, preventing broader market democratization. Lastly, the systemic risk posed by the interconnected nature of private credit and equity markets cannot be overlooked. During periods of financial stress, disruptions in one sector can have cascading effects, potentially amplifying market instability and exposing investors to unforeseen vulnerabilities. Tokenization is the process of converting rights to an asset into a digital token on a blockchain. These tokens can represent ownership, entitlements, or economic benefits, enabling fractional ownership and streamlined trading. In the context of private credit, tokenization translates complex debt instruments into programmable digital assets. Key Features of Tokenized Assets: Limitations of Tokenization in Private CreditWhile promising, tokenization is not a panacea. It faces several critical challenges: Tokenization has the potential to transform the private credit market by addressing core inefficiencies. However, realizing its full potential requires overcoming significant hurdles, including regulatory alignment, technology adoption, and standardization. Stakeholders must collaborate to establish a robust framework that balances innovation with risk management. Future articles in this series will explore the mechanics and challenges of tokenizing private credit and analyze its broader implications for financial markets.

The rapid ascent of USD-pegged stablecoins is quietly transforming the short-term US Treasury market, introducing a new breed of investor whose influence is only set to grow. A recent report from Particula charts the remarkable rise of stablecoins such as Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC), and examines how their reserve management is beginning to move the needle on Treasury Bill yields - a development that is drawing the attention of regulators, policymakers, and traditional market participants alike. Stablecoins, digital tokens designed to maintain a 1:1 value with the US dollar, have become the backbone of the crypto ecosystem. Their promise of stability and instant settlement has made them indispensable for traders and investors seeking a safe harbour in volatile markets. But what is less widely appreciated is how these tokens are anchored: the vast majority are backed by highly liquid, dollar-denominated assets, with US Treasury Bills at the top of the list. The numbers are striking. In early 2020, the total market capitalisation of stablecoins was less than 10 USD bn. By the first quarter of 2025, that figure had soared to over 230 USD bn. Tether and USDC together now account for more than 90% of the market, with Tether alone representing around 65%. This explosive growth has made stablecoin issuers some of the largest holders of short-term US government debt, with combined holdings exceeding 110 USD bn as of 2024. That places them alongside, or even ahead of, some of the world’s biggest sovereign investors and money market funds. This shift has not gone unnoticed. The report notes that the emergence of stablecoin issuers as major Treasury holders introduces a non-traditional, and at times volatile, source of demand for short-term US debt. Unlike sovereigns or money market funds, whose investment decisions are often driven by macroeconomic or regulatory considerations, stablecoin issuers must respond to the ebb and flow of crypto market sentiment. When demand for stablecoins surges, issuers must purchase more Treasuries to back new tokens; when redemptions spike - such as during periods of market stress - they may be forced to liquidate reserves quickly. The impact on yields, while still relatively modest in the context of the 28 USD tn Treasury market, is already measurable. According to our analysis, every 1 USD bn in net purchases or sales of Treasury Bills by stablecoin issuers moves the yield on three-month Treasury Bills by an estimated 2.76 basis points. Looking ahead, the report warns that the influence of stablecoins on the Treasury market could become much more significant if current growth trends persist. The concentration of stablecoin reserves in the shortest maturities means that sudden shifts in demand - whether triggered by crypto market volatility, regulatory changes, or systemic shocks - could amplify yield swings and potentially affect the Federal Reserve’s transmission mechanism. In a hypothetical scenario where stablecoin issuers were forced to liquidate 4 USD bn in Treasuries, our model estimates that yields on three-month bills could jump by 11 basis points - an impact roughly half the size of a typical Fed rate hike. The policy implications are clear. As stablecoins become a structural force in the world’s deepest bond market, their activities warrant close monitoring by both market participants and regulators. The report concludes that while stablecoins have so far provided incremental support to Treasury demand, their growing scale and unique risk profile introduce new considerations for market liquidity, stability, and the effectiveness of monetary policy transmission. In short, stablecoins are no longer just a curiosity of the crypto world. Their rise is reshaping the US Treasury market in ways that demand the attention of anyone with a stake in the global financial system.

The growth of the tokenized assets market, characterized by accelerated institutional adoption and increased regulatory scrutiny, has transformed the evaluation of custody solutions from a purely security-focused assessment into a comprehensive strategic consideration. Market participants increasingly recognize that custody arrangements materially impact operational efficiency, compliance positioning, and competitive differentiation in the institutional digital asset ecosystem. This analysis examines the evolving custody landscape, providing a framework for evaluating the risk-adjusted effectiveness of various custody models against established safety, compliance, and operational parameters. As institutional capital continues to flow into digital assets, the selection of appropriate custody infrastructure represents a critical determinant of market participant success, with significant implications for risk management, regulatory standing, and operational resilience. Digital asset custody solutions can be classified into four distinct categories, each presenting unique risk-reward profiles: The assessment of custody solutions must account for three primary risk categories: The evaluation of digital asset custody solutions requires a structured analytical approach that addresses both universal risk management imperatives and stakeholder-specific considerations. A good custody arrangement must demonstrate excellence across three foundational risk control dimensions: This risk management foundation must be further contextualized through differentiated analytical lenses for issuers versus investors. Issuers must prioritize custody solutions that enhance market confidence while maintaining operational efficiency. Critical evaluation factors include: Investors require custody solutions aligned with their specific risk tolerance and investment objectives. Primary evaluation criteria include: Effective custody solutions must be further calibrated to address the varying requirements of different investor risk profiles. Conservative investors typically prioritize multi-signature governance protocols, predominant cold storage allocation, and maximum insurance coverage, while moderate risk investors generally require balanced security and accessibility features with standardized reporting mechanisms. Growth-oriented investors often seek API integration capabilities, enhanced liquidity options, and customizable control parameters. This observed diversity in investor requirements exhibits strong alignment with multi-custodial frameworks, which analytical evidence demonstrates consistently produce better risk-adjusted outcomes for institutional market participants. This approach creates inherent resilience through: Ethereum offers broader flexibility through smart contracts and decentralized applications, making it the preferred choice for permissionless innovation. In contrast, Liquid prioritizes predictability, compliance, and operational security, making it a more attractive platform for structured financial products that require regulatory adherence and restricted access. While Ethereum’s open and composable nature fosters a high degree of interoperability, it also introduces complexity in regulatory compliance, security risks, and transaction cost volatility. Liquid’s controlled and deterministic environment helps address these concerns by limiting exposure to unauthorized participants and enhancing transaction privacy. At Particula, we recognize that custody arrangements fundamentally shape digital asset risk profiles. Our risk ratings evaluate an issuer's digital asset custody infrastructure across multiple dimensions to deliver investors the comprehensive insights they need for informed decision-making. The objective assessment of custody solutions incorporates five key dimensions: Through our comprehensive analysis, we have observed that the selection of appropriate digital asset custody infrastructure represents a determinative factor in institutional risk management frameworks. We strongly encourage investors to utilize Particula's risk ratings, which incorporate these five critical custody assessment dimensions when evaluating digital asset offerings. By consulting Particula's independent risk assessments, investors can better identify issuers with custody solutions that align with their specific risk parameters, ultimately enhancing their overall risk management in digital asset investments. As institutional adoption grows, risk frameworks must evolve to match the unique characteristics of tokenized finance. Particula's risk rating and monitoring platform helps bridge that gap—turning fragmented, fast-moving data into structured insights that support confident investment decision-making. In a world where risks no longer follow traditional rules, tools like Particula offer the clarity needed to navigate what's next.

While Bitcoin established the foundation for decentralized finance, its base layer lacks the scalability, transaction efficiency, and regulatory adaptability required by institutional investors. The financial sector's adoption of blockchain technology has reached a significant inflection point. While Bitcoin established the foundation for decentralized finance, its base layer lacks the scalability, transaction efficiency, and regulatory adaptability required by institutional investors. The Liquid Network has emerged as a Layer 2 Bitcoin solution, designed to enhance privacy, accelerate settlements, and support compliance-driven financial operations. With $3.4 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL), Liquid has transitioned from a conceptual framework to a functional platform facilitating institutional-grade financial services. Its expanding ecosystem includes a range of tokenized assets, such as: These figures underscore Liquid’s increasing relevance within blockchain-based finance. Its secure, efficient, and compliance-aligned infrastructure is gaining traction among institutional participants seeking structured solutions for digital asset issuance and settlement. The Liquid Network is an open-source Bitcoin sidechain purpose-built for financial applications that require fast settlement, confidentiality, and regulatory oversight. Below are key aspects that make Liquid particularly attractive to institutional participants: 1. Confidential Transactions with Regulatory ConsiderationsLiquid integrates confidential transactions at the protocol level, using cryptographic blinding to obscure transaction amounts and asset types by default. Unlike other solutions that rely on additional layers for privacy, Liquid incorporates this feature natively, reducing operational complexity. This allows institutions to maintain transactional confidentiality while still meeting regulatory reporting requirements. 2. Faster Settlement and Operational EfficiencyTraditional financial systems and even Bitcoin’s base layer often experience settlement delays ranging from hours to days. Liquid enhances transaction efficiency with one-minute block times and two-block finality, significantly reducing settlement risk to about two minutes. For institutions moving large capital flows, this speed ensures better liquidity management, reduced counterparty risk, and operational predictability. 3. Peg-In/Peg-Out Mechanism for Bitcoin InteroperabilityLiquid allows BTC to be transferred into its ecosystem as LBTC, ensuring seamless interoperability with Bitcoin’s main chain. This feature enables institutions to leverage Bitcoin’s liquidity while benefiting from Liquid’s faster transaction speeds and enhanced privacy. 4. Federated Governance: A Balanced ApproachWhile full decentralization is a key feature in crypto-native ecosystems, financial institutions require structured governance frameworks to manage risk and compliance.  Unlike Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus, Liquid operates on a Federated Byzantine Agreement model, where a designated set of functionaries validate transactions. This governance structure provides institutions with a more predictable operational framework while maintaining key elements of decentralization. 5. Purpose-Built for Tokenized Financial AssetsLiquid’s architecture supports tokenized securities, bond issuances, and financial derivatives, addressing institutional needs for privacy, security, and compliance. Its covenant-based framework allows for programmable restrictions on asset transfers, ensuring that transactions adhere to predefined regulatory and operational standards. Unlike open-ended scripting environments, this structured approach prioritizes security and compliance, reducing exposure to smart contract vulnerabilities and ensuring controlled asset movements. Liquid Network Vs. EthereumBuilding on Liquid’s structured approach to institutional finance, it is essential to compare different networks based on their core features, security mechanisms, and regulatory readiness. Liquid and Ethereum each serve distinct purposes, catering to different segments of the financial ecosystem. Ethereum offers broader flexibility through smart contracts and decentralized applications, making it the preferred choice for permissionless innovation. In contrast, Liquid prioritizes predictability, compliance, and operational security, making it a more attractive platform for structured financial products that require regulatory adherence and restricted access. While Ethereum’s open and composable nature fosters a high degree of interoperability, it also introduces complexity in regulatory compliance, security risks, and transaction cost volatility. Liquid’s controlled and deterministic environment helps address these concerns by limiting exposure to unauthorized participants and enhancing transaction privacy. Despite its advantages, Liquid Network faces several operational and adoption-related challenges: The long-term success of Liquid depends on addressing these challenges through enhanced infrastructure, broader developer engagement, and ecosystem expansion. If these obstacles are effectively mitigated, Liquid could position itself as a dominant player in the regulated blockchain finance sector. To strengthen its competitive position, Liquid should: As financial institutions increasingly explore blockchain-based asset tokenization, Liquid’s privacy-preserving and compliance-driven framework positions it as a viable alternative in regulated digital finance. However, staying competitive requires continuous innovation, ecosystem development, and regulatory alignment. If Liquid can address its current limitations while maintaining its advantages, it has the potential to become a leading infrastructure for institutional digital asset issuance and trading.

In 2023, we witnessed a rapid rise in on-chain RWAs and financial assets, signaling their increasing importance. The integration of tokenized RWAs and financial assets into DeFi has long been hailed as a game changer for the financial ecosystem. In 2023, we witnessed a rapid rise in on-chain RWAs and financial assets, signaling their increasing importance. While product-market fit continues to evolve, some niches, such as tokenized fixed income products, like money market funds, are beginning to show early signs of demand. For DAO and protocol treasury managers, as well as C-suite executives moving into this new space, tokenization of RWAs and financial assets offer transformative opportunities for treasury diversification, lending and insurance. This article highlights these key areas and how tokenized assets can bring stability, liquidity and new strategies to DeFi. Effective treasury management is crucial for any organization, whether a traditional corporation or a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). Within DeFi, where volatility in native assets can be extreme, tokenized assets serve as a valuable tool for diversification, helping to mitigate risk and stabilize portfolios. Diversification Beyond Crypto Assets Traditional crypto assets, while offering high growth potential, are notoriously volatile. Tokenized assets —such as tokenized bonds, funds, real estate, and commodities—offer a more stable alternative. Backed by real-world value, these assets provide a more predictable cash flow and reduced volatility, acting as a buffer against the unpredictable nature of crypto markets. Yield Generation with Digital Financial Assets Yield generation is a critical aspect of treasury management, and tokenized RWAs or financial assets are particularly attractive in this regard. Tokenized real estate, for example, can generate rental income, while tokenized bonds offer interest payments. These income streams provide a more stable and predictable yield compared to traditional DeFi yield farming, which is often subject to market swings. Liquidity is the lifeblood of any financial system, and managing it effectively is crucial. Tokenized assets enhance liquidity management by offering assets that generate regular cash flows and can be easily traded or used as collateral on DeFi platforms. Their presence in treasuries provides flexibility and resilience, especially in times of market stress. Lending and borrowing form the backbone of the DeFi ecosystem, and the introduction of tokenized RWAs or financial assets opens new doors for capital efficiency and risk management. Collateralization with Real World Assets In DeFi, over-collateralization is often required to mitigate the risk associated with volatile crypto assets. Some tokenized assets, with their stable value, provide a more efficient form of collateral. Tokenized government bonds, for instance, offer predictable value, reducing the need for excessive over-collateralization and broadening access to capital. RWAs enable lower-risk lending opportunities by integrating assets with predictable cash flows, such as tokenized invoices or trade receivables. This creates lending options with more stable returns, appealing to lenders and offering borrowers access to credit at reduced interest rates. Democratizing Access to Credit On-chain RWAs democratize access to credit, providing opportunities for individuals and businesses in regions with limited access to traditional financial services. By leveraging real-world assets, these entities can secure loans, driving economic growth and innovation on a global scale. RWAs are also transforming the insurance landscape by enabling on-chain insurance products and parametric insurance models. On-Chain Insurance Contracts On-chain insurance, backed by RWAs, represents a new paradigm in risk management. Tokenized real estate or vehicles, for instance, can serve as collateral in insurance contracts, ensuring policies are backed by tangible value. This not only enhances the credibility of on-chain insurance products but also provides greater transparency, with all transactions recorded immutably on the blockchain. Parametric Insurance with RWAs Parametric insurance, which triggers payouts automatically based on predefined events (e.g., weather disasters or market shifts), offers another innovative use case for RWAs. For example, in the event of a hurricane in Florida, parametric insurance could automatically trigger a payout for affected homeowners, streamlining the claims process. This model reduces administrative costs and speeds up payouts, making insurance more efficient and accessible. Tokenization of real world assets or financial assets offers a pathway to greater diversification, more efficient lending and borrowing, and innovative insurance solutions, all while bringing stability and predictability to DeFi. At the heart of this evolution is the need for reliable information and data-driven decision-making. This is where digital asset ratings platforms and reports become invaluable. By providing insights into the quality and risk associated with tokenized assets, these tools empower treasury managers and executives to make informed decisions, optimize their portfolios, and leverage the full potential of tokenized assets within their DeFi strategies. If the future of finance is to be decentralized, then tokenized assets need to pave the way for a more stable, inclusive, and efficient financial ecosystem. As the market continues to mature, those who harness the power of tokenization with the support of cutting-edge digital asset ratings will be well-positioned to lead in this new financial era.

For the first time, Particula is opening up its digital asset risk assessment methodology by sharing one of its recent rating reports of the Ondo $OUSG token, which currently is assigned with a BB rating (speculative, high risk). Since March 27, 2024 the $OUSG token primarily reflects participation in BlackRock’s newly introduced USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL). Download our report now for a complete analysis of risks and opportunities in the tokenized treasury market. In 2023 and 2024, the tokenization market experienced significant growth and maturation due to favorable macroeconomic conditions and increased investor interest. By April 24, 2023, the tokenization of the government securities market had reached $1.2 billion, with major players including Franklin Templeton, BlackRock, Ondo Finance, Superstate, Hashnote, Maple Finance, Backed Finance, and Matrixdock [1]. Market data highlights the profitability of the tokenization of Real World Assets (RWAs), which achieved substantial returns of 285.6% in Q1 2024 [2]. This positions RWAs as the second most profitable crypto narrative during the period, surpassing other lucrative narratives like AI. This strong performance underscores the growing acceptance and recognition of tokenized assets as viable investment instruments, reflecting a maturing market environment. The growing acceptance of tokenized assets as viable investment instruments is further demonstrated by a survey conducted by EY among 256 institutional investors [3]. The survey found that 57% of respondents expressed interest in investing in tokenized assets, particularly in tokenized private funds, securities (e.g., bonds and stocks), and public funds. Hedge funds were among the institutions most likely to invest initially, with significant interest in tokenization across public, private, and real estate funds.

In this article, you are going to learn everything you need to know about the STEP Program. You will also be able to access our latest rating reports of the program's elected issuers with deep insights into their product offerings. First, let's begin with what is the purpose of the STEP Program by ArbitrumDAO. This initiative involves investing 35 million ARB tokens, approximately $27 million, into on-chain real-world asset (RWA) products. The primary goal of the STEP program is to mitigate the volatility associated with the crypto market, thereby ensuring financial stability for the Arbitrum community. The key program contributors, who are also members of the ArbitrumDAO, The STEP Committee, were responsible for evaluating applications and recommending allocations for the selected RWA products. The STEP Commitee comprised of GFX Labs, North Lakes Legal, Nethermind, Steakhouse Financial, and karpatkey (a nonvoting facilitating member from the Arbitrum Treasury and Sustainability Group). Their expertise ensured a thorough review process, aiming to select the most credible and robust projects, which we will uncover later in the article. Besides the STEP Committee, another crucial role was assigned to the Program Manager, which was elected through a collective voting of ArbitrumDAO members. From an impressive selection of four different projects,  Steakhouse Financial was chosen to officially manage the implementation of the selected RWA products for the STEP program. Steakhouse, known for providing similar services for MakerDAO, was selected based on its experience and proven track record in the DeFi space. Besides Steakhouse, three other projects applied: Bluechip, Avantgarde Finance, and Particula. Moving on to the key part of the STEP Program - the selected issuers, it is important to highlight the scale of this program's interest among the tokenized asset issuers. ArbitrumDAO received over 30 initial applications, which were shortlisted to 17 projects. After a detailed evaluation based on criteria such as assets under management (AUM), operational risk, and fee competitiveness, the following six projects were selected: These allocations reflect STEP Program's diversified approach, aiming to balance and mitigate risks effectively. To provide a holistic overview of all these issuers and their market potential, at Particula we provided detailed risk ratings and data analysis for each of the selected projects. [to be written] Our ratings give insights about topics such as the strengths and competitive advantages of these projects, as well as [....] reinforcing their suitability for the STEP Program. You can download each of the ratings with the link provided below. Arbitrum's STEP Program represents a significant move towards integrating traditional finance with DeFi. By investing in on-chain RWA products, Arbitrum aims to secure its financial future and set a precedent for other DeFi platforms. Particula is committed to supporting such initiatives by providing comprehensive risk ratings and data analysis, contributing to transparency and success. The program underscores the potential for innovation and collaboration in the evolving world of decentralized finance. We look forward to STEP Program's further developments. At Particula, we have developed the first rating and analytics platform for tokenized assets. Our goal is to provide the next generation of ratings for the next generation of assets in order to give investors instant security, clarity and better market access.
