HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 21 September 2022 – Today, IX Asia Indexes Company Limited (“IX Asia Indexes”) announced the launch of the IX Digital Asset Industry Classification System (“DAICS™”), aiming to provide the professional worldwide with a transparent and standardized classification scheme to determine sector and exposure of particular digital assets. It also serves as a tool for asset allocation and portfolio analysis for digital assets market as well as product development. DAICS™ complements IX Asia Indexes to develop their own competitive digital asset indexes and index products from a robust global standard.
DAICS™ covers both cryptocurrencies and asset-backed tokens (“ABT”), to be reviewed semi-annually at the end of June and December. On cryptocurrencies side, it is a three-tier system that groups cryptocurrencies into 5 main industries: 1) Payment, 2) Infrastructure, 3) Financial services, 4) Technology & Data and 5) Media & Entertainment. These industries are further divided into 13 industry sectors and sub-sectors to be introduced in the future. Under asset-backed tokens, there are 6 asset types and 30 branches. They are: 1) Culture, 2) Real Estate, 3) Financials, 4) Entertainment, 5) Natural Resources and 6) Green Economy. (For DAICS™ please see Appendix 1 and 2)
Initially IX Asia Indexes will only classify the top 50 cryptocurrencies in terms of market capitalization which already represent over 80% of the market share in terns of market size and volume. ABT classification work will be added in next stage when a fair population of popular asset-backed tokens are available in the market. The current asset types and branches of the ABT category is to provide a first stage according to more foreseeable industry demand. As the market further matures with more cryptocurrencies with strong use cases emerge, the Classification System may expand to include more cryptocurrencies, ABT, industries, sectors and subsectors. (For more details on the grouping of cryptocurrencies under DAICS™, please refer to Appendix 3)
In response to the common global effort to achieve net zero emission by 2030 and 2050 agenda for the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) by United Nations, IX Asia Indexes anticipates that more tokenisation will adopt the SDGs. Our vision is that ESG and sustainability is more than environmental impact, which also includes sustainable growth and development, good governance, better social impact and community engagement. To promote this, the DAICS™ introduces “green” labelling for cryptocurrencies that adhere to the principle of sustainability by employing energy efficient protocol or making an active effort in minimising environmental damages. Under the ABT cataegory, a “Green Economy” asset type is introduced for token that represent ownership of the projects that ahere to the United Nations 17 sustanable development goals. An index which can represent the Asia Pacific Green Economy is also under study.
To complement with the DAICS™” launch, a IX Infrastructure Crypto Index will be launched and available hourly 7×24 on the official website https://ix-index.com/ after the third quarter end index review. A reference on the weightings among the different crypto industry sectors are shown in Appendix 4.
For further information regarding the methodology of the DAICS™, please refer the “IX Digital Asset Industry Classification System- principle and guilding methodology” available on the company website.

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Media OutReach – 21 September 2022 – TRON founder Justin Sun will attend the Upbit Developer Conference (UDC) in South Korea. The UDC, which will be held from September 22 to September 23 at Busan Port International Exhibitions & Convention Center (BPEX), is the first blockchain conference focusing on developers in South Korea. Sun has also been invited to deliver a keynote speech on Web3.0 via video link at the conference.
Themed on Imagine Your Blockchain Life, this year’s UDC is the fifth conference and will be held along with various events such as NFT exhibitions. The conference has invited dozens of leading roles in the blockchain industry, including Justin Sun, founder of a top 3 public chain globally. He will speak on Web 3.0 on the morning of September 23, the second day of the UDC.
Regarded as a Web3.0 bigwig by the renowned crypto media Crypto Daily, Justin Sun has the importance of Web3.0 on multiple occasions. At the WISE Metaverse x Game Industry Innovation Summit hosted by 36Kr recently, Sun stated that Web3.0 allows the engagement of both people and their wealth in the world of the Internet and will fully usher in an era of the metaverse. His keynote speech at the UDC 2022 is much anticipated by the Korean blockchain community.
TRON has been speeding up its global development in recent years. In December 2021, the TRON network became fully decentralized and was restructured into the TRON DAO community, one of the world’s largest decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO). In June 2022, the TRON-based USDD was upgraded into the world’s first over-collateralized decentralized stablecoin, offering a collateral factor of 300%, the highest globally. TRON has established a full-fledged ecosystem covering DeFi, NFT, GameFi, the metaverse, and cross-chain solutions, making itself one of the most pivotal public chains in the world.
Sun’s recent moves to bring TRON and USDD to the billboards in Times Square and in JFK Airport in order to voice at the heart of global financial capital have again garnered wide attention. Analysts suggest that such a campaign may expand TRON’s global presence and boost confidence amid the current market downturn.
It is not the first time that Justin Sun has been invited to a major crypto conference in South Korea. In November 2021, he attended NFT BUSAN 2021, an online event organized by the Busan municipal government and Busan Blockchain Industry Association, and accepted an exclusive interview with Gather Town, a metaverse-oriented networking platform. The authorities in Busan endorsed TRON by granting the initial sales of the NFT of Busan’s mascot on TRON.
TRON DAO has created an official blog (https://blog.naver.com/trondaokorea/222870938715) on Naver to cover Sun’s attendance at the UDC, indicating TRON’s future proactive moves in the Korean market.
