International Token Standardization Association

Market Standards for
Global Token Markets

ITSA aims at promoting the development and implementation of comprehensive market standards for blockchain- and DLT-based cryptographic tokens. With the rise of Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and cross-chain operability the role of token identification and classification has become an ever-increasing challenge for businesses, researchers, investors, and regulators.

“At BCW Group, we believe a global standard for cryptographic tokens is imperative & are impressed by the methodical approach ITSA has taken utilizing an international approach”

Kyle Baron

Co-Founder, BCW Group

“ITSA is promoting standards for global token markets - this is crucial, as comprehensive market standards enable the adoption of cryptographic tokens across the traditional financial industry.”

“ITIN - the unique token identifier - is already used in Germany to clearly identify crypto assets for taxation purposes.”

Prof. Dr. Philipp Sandner

Head of Frankfurt School Blockchain Center

“ITIN is the first identifier that embraces the decentralized nature of the token economy. As a result, tokens can now be uniquely identified and referenced in, e.g., legal contracts without worrying about forks. This is a strong foundation for healthy growth of the token ecosystem.”
