NEW YORK, 04/01/2026 — Kaiko is participating as a Risk Assessment Partner (RAP) for Global Blockchain Business Council’s (GBBC’s) Capital Markets Risk Mitigation Framework (RMF), joining leading financial infrastructure providers to move the industry from theoretical risk definitions to practical, data-driven applications.
GBBC’s Capital Markets RMF
The Capital Markets RMF is a landmark, industry-led framework designed to help financial institutions identify, assess, and manage the non-financial risks associated with using public permissionless blockchain infrastructure. Facilitated by GBBC and Oliver Wyman, and developed alongside a coalition of Tier 1 institutions (including Euroclear Group and DTCC), the RMF provides a common reference for managing risks in blockchain implementations and provides an overview of how the new technology can be incorporated into established operational risk management frameworks.
Kaiko’s role
For over a decade, Kaiko has served as the independent, regulated data provider that institutions rely on across digital asset markets. Through this partnership, Kaiko extends that role to onchain infrastructure assessment with its Blockchain Ecosystem Ranking.
The Kaiko Blockchain Ecosystem Ranking provides a data-driven ranking for multi-dimensional evaluation of blockchain networks used in capital markets and tokenization initiatives, helping institutions determine which blockchain networks are most suitable for institutional adoption and tokenized asset issuance.
The ranking offers an independent data-driven assessment of blockchain ecosystems that covers five dimensions: governance, integration, liquidity, operational efficiency, and security. By integrating the Capital Markets RMF into the ranking’s methodology, it enables the safe, secure adoption of blockchains, in particular, public blockchains for regulated financial institutions.
“Institutions want to move faster with blockchain adoption, but not at the expense of compliance. The ranking itself has been built with the highest standards of compliance in mind, and aligning it with the GBBC’s RMF gives institutions a way to do both,” said Philippe Redaelli, Managing Director of Strategic Initiatives at Kaiko.
Why now
With the launch of its Data On-Ramp oracle, Kaiko has expanded into distributing trusted third-party data onchain for regulated use cases. The partnership with the GBBC is the first of several collaborations that will position Kaiko as the central data infrastructure layer for DLT-enabled financial markets.
