SIX Rolls Out Data Service to Help Institutions Navigate Digital Asset Rules

Subscribe to our newsletter

Swiss based financial services and market infrastructure provider SIX Group as introduced a new data package designed to help financial institutions better understand their exposure to digital assets amid a rapidly changing regulatory landscape. The Digital Assets Regulatory and Tax Service provides a consolidated view of evolving obligations, aiming to support compliance efforts as digital assets move further into the financial mainstream.

The service enables firms to assess whether more than 80,000 crypto-related instruments—including tokens and blockchain-based assets—fall under specific regulatory and tax regimes. Updated daily, the dataset allows users to monitor and flag changes tied to regulations such as the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA), MiFID, the OECD’s Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), and the U.S. IRS Form 1099-DA.

It also accounts for traditional financial assets linked to underlying crypto assets and supports compliance with frameworks in jurisdictions such as Hong Kong. The dataset draws on multiple established sources including the ESMA Register, the Digital Token Identifiers Foundation, and CCData.

Financial institutions can access the data through SIX Flex®, the firm’s customizable platform for managing market, reference, regulatory, and ESG data.

Roy Kirby, Head of Core Products at SIX, noted the relevance of the launch: “This tool couldn’t arrive at a more opportune time for financial institutions in Europe and farther afield. It will provide firms with an extremely detailed and reliable snapshot of their digital assets obligations across an incredibly vast array of crypto-based instruments. Critically, it will do so at a time when the regulatory landscape for digital assets is shifting at an unprecedented rate.”

With institutional adoption of digital assets growing, tools that offer structured insights into shifting compliance requirements are becoming increasingly essential.
