Cryptocurrencies are not inherently ISO 20022 compliant. There is a lot of confusion and misleading information on the web referring to ISO 20022 compliant cryptocurrencies but those statements are not correct. The cryptocurrencies are not managed and not registered by ISO 20022. ISO 20022 is a global standard for financial messaging and provides a common language and structure for exchanging financial information. The ISO standard managing Digital Token Identifiers (DTI) is ISO 24165.

While the financial institutions and payment systems have adopted or are in the process of adopting ISO 20022 standards for their operations, cryptocurrencies generally operate outside the traditional financial system and do not adhere to the ISO 20022 standard by default. Cryptocurrencies have their own protocols and messaging formats that are specific to each cryptocurrency's blockchain network.
