A companion platform
The directory we wish we'd had on the buyer side.
Counterparty Catalogue is a structured directory of digital asset service providers, built for institutional buyers who don't have time to re-do a competitive map every time a new engagement starts. We built it because the category we work in doesn't have a real Gartner or Forrester, and buyers keep making vendor decisions on relationships instead of evidence.
Note: Counterparty Catalogue lives at its own domain — counterpartycatalogue.com — and is a separate platform. This page explains the relationship.
What it is
A mapped, categorized, continuously updated directory of providers across the digital asset operational stack: custody, prime brokerage, stablecoin issuance, tokenization platforms, staking infrastructure, audit firms, legal counsel, and the adjacent categories buyers actually need to evaluate.
Why we built it
Every engagement on the DigOpp side eventually produces the same kind of artifact: a list of the providers in some category, with what they do, who they serve, and where the differentiation actually lives. For our clients, that's research output. For the category, it's infrastructure — and right now that infrastructure is scattered across private docs, Slack messages, and conference conversations. Counterparty Catalogue consolidates it.
Who uses it
- Institutional buyers building short-lists in a category they don't regularly purchase in
- Service providers wanting their offering legibly presented in a neutral structure
- Advisors and allocators orienting clients to a field that changes too fast to keep personal databases current
How it relates to DigOpp's other work
Counterparty Catalogue is directory infrastructure. Our Vendor Research & Benchmarking engagements are bespoke research: white-space analysis, competitive maps for a specific buyer's decision, deep dives into consumption patterns. The directory is the landscape. The research is the reading of it.
Want a bespoke map for a specific decision?
Vendor Research & Benchmarking is our research practice. Catalogue is the directory. Talk to us if you need the first, not the second.
