FnGuide to launch joint digital asset research with Populus

FnGuide announced Thursday that it will co-publish research reports with Populus, a blockchain-focused research firm.

The two companies plan to release regular digital asset research and offer a range of services to help retail investors access relevant information more easily. The partnership combines FnGuide's quantitative data analysis capabilities with Populus's expertise in on-chain data and blockchain technology research.

FnGuide established a dedicated digital asset division earlier this year and has been building the groundwork for related projects, including developing a digital asset classification system and evaluation methodology. In line with the growing institutionalization of the digital asset market, the company plans to provide customized research for institutional investors and support corporate digital asset commercialization efforts.

The two firms also plan to publish a "protocol business report" that comprehensively covers the operational status, earnings and future plans of blockchain projects.

Kim Nam-woong, chief executive of Populus, said the collaboration with FnGuide was meaningful. "Through precise data analysis, we will enhance market transparency and lay the groundwork for the institutionalization of digital assets," he said.

Jeon Min-seok, chief executive of FnGuide, said the goal is to provide information that market participants can understand more easily. "We will continue to deliver reliable digital asset information from multiple angles to drive the healthy growth of the digital asset market," he said.

Founded in 2000, FnGuide is a financial information company that provides financial data, index and fund evaluation services based on domestic capital market data. Its financial information business counts major domestic and international financial research institutions among its key customers.
