ANNA hits 113 full members as more jurisdictions transition

The Association of National Numbering Agencies (ANNA) announced that the National Numbering Agencies (NNAs) of Algeria, Botswana, El Salvador, Honduras, Jamaica, Macao, Maldives, Nicaragua, United Arab Emirates (DIFC) and Zambia have transitioned from ANNA partners to become full members.

ANNA also confirmed the first two designated, non jurisdictional, numbering agencies: the Derivatives Service Bureau (DSB) and Etrading Software (ETS) as ANNA Partners.

The DSB is the existing, global golden source of reference data for OTC derivatives, issuing the OTC ISIN, Classification of Financial Instruments (CFI) and Financial Instrument Short Name (FISN). ETS is a registration authority for ISO 24165, Digital Token Identifier (DTI) and will become the global numbering agency for crypto assets, issuing XT ISINs.

ANNA’s membership continues to expand, with members and partners allocating ISIN, FISN and CFI codes for more than 200 jurisdictions. Currently, there are more than 116 million ISINs and related information available worldwide.

Stephan Dreyer, MD ANNA, said in a statement: “Broad membership brings the shared local and global expertise that is so paramount to the further development of standards which support market transparency and efficiency.”

Emma Kalliomaki, managing director at ANNA and DSB, said in a statement: “As the global source of international standards for OTC derivatives, becoming an ANNA partner establishes the DSB’s formal recognition as a numbering agency and the principles upheld since its inception. We look forward to ongoing collaboration with the ANNA community, and broader stakeholders, to evolve global financial standards that enable market interoperability and provide better data quality for all.”

Denis Dounaev, DTI Product Owner at ETS, said in a statement: “ANNA and the ETS have worked closely to bring ISIN standards together with new DTIs for digital assets and deliver a phased roll-out for new ISINs to identify crypto assets. We look forward to taking on the role of registered authorizer of a combined solution that brings transparency and efficiency to evolving digital markets.”
