New Digital Assets Markets Association Releases First Conduct Code

ADAM members will commit to best practices and elevate their niche's integrity

All financial markets are complex and rely on clear rules and practices to maintain investors’ confidence. When the transactions are in digital assets—from cryptocurrencies to digital securities—that’s a new level of  abstraction for market participants to navigate. Now, a year-old association is working to define best practices and ethical conduct in the space and ensuring that standards make the leap to the blockchain era.

The Association for Digital Asset Markets (ADAM), announced last fall, published the first edition of its code of conduct this week. The comprehensive document dives into a variety of key areas to ensure  integrity, fairness, and efficiency in the marketplace. But one thing it does not aim to do is replace what came before.
