According to CoinDesk, the first ESG benchmark jointly created by crypto data company CCData and the Crypto Carbon Rating Institute (CCRI) was released on Thursday. It evaluates 40 of the largest and most liquid digital assets, evaluating parameters such as decentralization, security and climate impact. Among them, Ethereum ranked first in the first institutional-level crypto ESG ranking, followed by Solana and Cardano, while Bitcoin fell behind due to its large energy consumption. The role of environmental, social and governance (ESG) requirements in investment has become increasingly common, especially among institutional investors and large asset management companies.
