Circle, a Boston-based payment technology company, recently revealed the framework it currently uses to list new cryptocurrencies across its platforms, including Circle Invest and Poloniex.

Our goal is for our customers to access innovative new projects that fuel the industry 🚀. This is why we created the Circle Asset Framework and updated our Asset Listing Form. Find out how we plan to list new assets in our latest blog post 👇https://t.co/pI0bbwfEmY — Circle (@circlepay) June 19, 2018

In the announcement, the Circle team highlights the approach it uses when considering new digital assets.

We pose questions across five broad categories — fundamentals, technology, people, business model, and market dynamics. We score projects in each category based on publicly available data points and information submitted to us through our Asset Listing Form.

Circle emphasizes that it plans to remain fully neutral in its operations and welcomes all legitimate assets. The Circle Invest platform has listed 7 digital assets to date, including two competing privacy-oriented coins, Zcash (ZEC) and Monero (XMR). Circle also recently revealed a new ‘Buy the Market’ feature that enables investors to automatically diversify their holdings across multiple digital currencies with a single click of a button.

Poloniex, which was acquired by Circle in early 2018 for an estimated $400 million, is currently the 33rd most popular exchange by trading volume. The exchange currently supports 66 different coins, including Ethereum Classic (ETC) and Stellar (XLM).

Touching on forks, swaps, and airdrops, Circle states that it evaluates each on a case-by-case basis given the sporadic nature of these events. Generally, the company will support those that are planned, documented and communicated well in advance.

Circle concludes the announcement sharing that it will only delist assets if they fail to meet the above criteria after providing 7 days notice.

This information provides a certain degree of transparency that is often missing among other cryptocurrency exchange platforms and is likely related to the company’s push to become a fully-regulated banking and brokerage firm.
