EVIDENT, a licensed investment platform for alternative
assets utilizing blockchain technology, fully supports the
implementation of open data standards under the Financial Data
Transparency Act (FDTA).

We believe that adopting globally recognized standards like the
Financial Instrument Global Identifier (FIGI) and the Legal Entity
Identifier (LEI - ISO 17442) is critical for improving transparency,
efficiency, and interoperability across financial markets. These
standards not only enhance the integrity of data reporting but also
promote global consistency, particularly as the financial landscape
evolves with the rise of digital assets and tokenization.

The integration of FIGI and LEI will drive positive developments in
the alternative investment space, creating a more streamlined and
secure framework for investors and regulators alike.

EVIDENT urges the adoption of these open standards and supports their
continued implementation across global markets.
