Blockworks has revealed the Transparency Alliance, a group aiming to outline standards for token disclosures. Jason Yanowitz, Blockworks CEO, stated that:
“Crypto has entered its institutional era. But tokens can’t progress until the market trusts them again. Enter disclosures. And an Alliance built around the adoption of those disclosures.”
In 2025, Blockworks launched the “Token Transparency Framework” (TTF) and soon gained over 40 digital asset issuers participating in the program. Now, they seek an industry-wide standard to support digital asset adoption.
Yanowitz described the Alliance as a “critical step forward toward” token disclosures. He alluded to participation from both the SEC and CFTC, “who have been aligned” with the initiative.
Founding members of the Alliance include many well-known crypto names like Coinbase, Aave, Kraken, Grayscale, Anchorage Digital, Moonpay, BitGo, Vaneck, Bitwise, Securitize, Ripple, and more.
The effort to craft a standard arrives in advance of a vote in the US Senate on the CLARITY Act, crypto market infrastructure legislation that is key to the success of the digital asset industry and the future of finance.
Coinbase Director of Listings Clay Maffet said they have long supported a standard, and they aim to make this reality.
All members have agreed to use the TTF as a core input in the diligence processes.
