A new rating program developed with help from the financial technology practice at O’Melveny & Myers may help companies trying to stay on the right side of U.S. securities laws in the rapidly developing cryptocurrency industry.

The Crypto Rating Council, a group of cryptocurrency financial services firms that came together to create the compliance resource, announced its creation last month. It is composed of digital asset companies and trading platforms Coinbase, based in San Francisco, which spearheaded development of the system, and Anchorage, Bittrex, Circle, Cumberland, Genesis, Grayscale and Kraken. The rating system was developed with the input of these companies and their technical experts and in-house and outside legal teams, including O’Melveny.
