DTIF is a non-profit division of Etrading Software responsible for issuing and maintaining DTIs.
DTIF enables unique identification of digital tokens based on ISO’s new standard for digital assets, ISO 24165.
DTIF facilitates transparency in the digital asset space through the creation of a core reference data set.
The ISO DTI standard enables unique identification of all digital assets using distributed ledger technology (DLT) for token issuance, storage, exchange, ownership recording, or transaction validation. The DTI consists of a unique nine-character alphanumeric code and a record of relevant data maintained by the DTI Foundation. This standard supports regulators and market participants in managing risks through greater transparency.


The DTI Foundation is a non-profit division of Etrading Software (ETS), a global regulatory data provider with a focus on solving market-wide problems by building market infrastructures for the new digital economy. DTI Foundation’s mission is to provide the golden source reference data for the unique identification of digital tokens based on ISO’s new standard for digital assets, ISO 24165. The DTI Foundation has already issued ISO identification codes for over five thousand of the most commonly traded digital assets, with more codes being added each day. All commonly traded digital assets can be assigned ISO-standard DTI codes.
Etrading Software, acting through its non-profit division, DTI Foundation, is responsible for issuing ISINs for crypto instruments globally as a Designated Numbering Agency. Any crypto assets that are not financial instruments in accordance with ISO 10962 CFI classification are treated as referential instruments and therefore are in scope for ISIN allocation with a suffix of XT.

DTIF’s mission is to provide the golden source reference data for the unique identification of digital tokens based on ISO’s new standard for digital assets, ISO 24165.
DTIF will issue and maintain DTIs on a non-profit basis, with the aim of increasing transparency in the digital asset space through the creation of a core reference data set based on open data principles and available as a public good.
