S&P Global announced a collaboration with Chainlink to make its Stablecoin Stability Assessments available on-chain through Chainlink's DataLink service. This marks the first time S&P Global Ratings' independent risk analysis of stablecoins will be directly accessible within decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols and smart contracts. The assessments, which score stablecoins on a scale from 1 (very strong) to 5 (weak), will provide real-time data to power automated decision-making in the DeFi space for institutional investors and lending platforms. The move is described as an industry first and is aimed at meeting the growing demand for reliable risk assessment as institutional adoption of digital assets increases. The announcement was featured in the Financial Times, highlighting its significance in bridging traditional financial analytics with the emerging blockchain ecosystem.
