2026 Investigation report of the Currency Decision Questionnaire on Encrypted Exchange

Source:RootData

 

The results of a research survey conducted by RootData on decision-making in respect of currency on an encrypted exchange were compiled for information by participants such as Listing BD, researchers and members of the Commission。

Over 69 per cent of respondents are directly involved in, or make decisions about, the Listing BD and Research/Investment Analysis posts, which are the exchange's “value discovery” and “access control” sectors, and policymakers are under considerable pressure to process information。

Decision-making pain points: data fragmentation and ageing

About 50 per cent of respondents assessed more than 50 projects annually and policymakers were in a state of severe “information overload”. In big projects, projects that provide structured and transparent data can significantly reduce the cognitive costs for decision makers. This also shows that “transparency” has become one of the key indicators for the project to emerge from the very short assessment window。

Distribution of core work responsibilities

Reconciling with decision-making is a highly overlapping function. This means that the data platform is no longer a supporting tool, but rather is integrated into the decision chain。

“Trackstones” for the efficiency of decision-making

“Trust costs” are the most expensive hidden creation of an exchange. Uncertainty in data can lead to repeated retrospectives of the decision-making process, and the accuracy and effectiveness of asset information disclosures will be important factors influencing the Listing cycle of the exchange as compliance trends increase。

Data lag “hidden subtractions”

Over 30 per cent of respondents felt that the impact of the delay was significant or significant, which could lead to poor decision-making, missed opportunities and even challenged project transparency. Even if 60 per cent of respondents appear to be “acceptable”, the project's information update lags behind and may be implicitly downgraded in the Listing assessment。

Treatment of obsolete information

Fifty per cent of the respondents indicated that the lack of transparency of project-party data would trigger “defensive redaction” of the exchange, which would extend the time for review, and 16.7 per cent indicated that they would discontinue the audit process and even directly reject Project Listing's application。

Listing Audit's "Necessary Classes"

The historical evolution of assets such as institutional investors, valuations, teams, product road maps, which constitute the “frequent dimensions” of the credit building blocks of the Web3 project, and the fact that this information is also highly susceptible to forgery, has led over half of the respondents to indicate that they are in great need of data platforms from third parties to help them cross-check information。

Common data platform preferences

Eighty-eight.9 per cent of respondents indicated that they would all choose to refer to RootData data, making it a “desktop necessity” tool for the Listing team of the Exchange, which is particularly evident for projects where the currency is less capitalized (mainly the first TGE or the unconnected global large encryption trading platform), a high penetration rate that marks the development of Web3 data structures and product controls into industry standards. For projects with a very high degree of currency capitalization, 94.4 per cent of respondents would choose the Coingecko or Coinmarketcap platform for cross-checking data。

Detailed speed effect of project information

Ninety-one percent of the respondents made it clear that the project, which was captured by RootData, Crunchbas' authoritative third-party data platform and provided with detailed information, would significantly increase the efficiency and sensitivity of Listing, which would result in at least 30 percent more efficient audits。

Position of the data platform in Web3 development

Only 2.7 per cent of respondents felt that the project did not need to focus on data transparencyListing as the most mysterious link in the industry, and more than 80.6 per cent of users agreed that the data platform was important for their own decision-making, which further indicated that the project's focus on data disclosure would directly affect the effectiveness and efficiency of its capitalization。

Summary

The results of the survey reflect that more than half of the currency sector operators in the exchange view the transparency of the project as an important element of the review of the currency, in particular institutional investors, valuations, teams, product road maps, etc., and that full information transparency on third-party data platforms can be effective in accelerating the review process (more than 30 per cent), while the audit cycle for low-transparent projects will be extended。

In the current state of development of the industry, a large number of projects are caught in the trap of “dealing or breaking” and users have lost their trust in the vast majority of encryption projects, both because of their own lack of bright spots and reliable business models and because of the “black boxes” in which many projects are not transparent. The disclosure status of core project information has become one of the core factors influencing its progress and effectiveness in capitalization。
