The Global Digital Asset and Cryptocurrency Association and CryptoCurrency Certification Consortium (C4) Announce Memorandum of Understanding
Chicago, Illinois – March 31, 2023 – In an effort to foster the integrity of the blockchain and crypto assets industry, the Global Digital Asset and Cryptocurrency Association (Global DCA) and the CryptoCurrency Certification Consortium (C4) have created a memorandum of understanding that outlines the steps and conditions that both parties agree are necessary to achieve their mutual goals. This joint effort will allow the Global DCA and C4 to engage in activities that are of relevance to the crypto assets industry and work in tandem to maximize the reach of both entities with regards to engaging the public, press, and government officials.
“In an emerging industry – especially in the wake of FTX – helping institutions, consumers and the general public understand and differentiate between quality firms and non-quality firms is extremely important,” said Gabriella Kusz, CEO of the Global DCA. “Enterprise-level certifications such as the C4 CryptoCurrency Security Standard (CCSS) are important to helping provide clarity and give institutions an easy way to differentiate quality.”
“Making the cryptocurrency and digital asset space safer is a top priority for C4,” said Jessica Levesque, Executive Director of C4. “The CCSS is an easy to understand security score for crypto private keys that was created by cybersecurity experts. In 2004, the payment card industry – VISA, Mastercard, Discover, American Express- came together and created the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), enabling legislators and policy makers to reference a standard built by experts. The CCSS does the same for the cryptocurrency industry, providing a clear, open, and free standard.”
The Points of Understanding laid out by the Global DCA and C4 are as follows:

Engage in Dialogue

Develop Joint Activities

Seek to Coordinate and Harmonize Policy Responses
