Arca, an institutional grade financial services firm building products utilizing and investing in digital assets, publicly released its Research Framework. This framework leverages both a top-down and bottom-up approach. The goal is to analyze global economic events and asset classes in combination with crypto-specific events to form top-down theses, and use a bottom-up thesis-driven approach to token selection. The bottom-up analysis involves both a Business and Technical Analysis as well as a Market & Valuation Analysis. Those analyses focus on token design, funding, engagement, on-going development and other specific aspects.

The full framework is available on Arca Blog.
