Chainlink, the industry-standard oracle platform, has recently revealed its strategic collaboration with, S&P Global, world’s leading provider of independent credit rating. Through this strategic collaboration, S&P Global is poised to bring its Stablecoin Stability Assessments (SSAs) on-chain via DataLink, the institutional-grade publishing service. Chainlink has revealed this trailblazing news with the global community through its official social media, X account.
S&P Global to Drive Stablecoin Risk Standards
The time of this initiative is very pivotal and can be fruitful for both firms as the stablecoin market has already surpassed $300B that indicates the growing adoption across intuitional finance and decentralized ecosystems. Furthermore, GENIUS Act approval has further solidified the stablecoin as the financial asset for the payments, trading and settlements.
Keeping in the view, large scale adoption demands standardized, secure, and transparent means to analyze the risks related to stablecoins and decentralize finance (DeFi). Hence, SSAs of S&P Global Ratings analyze the quality and resilience of prominent stablecoins based on market conditions, credit exposure, custody structures and other related key risk indicators. These parameters of Stablecoin Stability Assessments (SSAs) help a lot to decide whether a stablecoin maintains its peg relative to the fiat currency.
Chainlonk’s DataLink Connects Institutions to SSA Insights
S&P Global Ratings is directly integrating its data to smart contracts by employing the DataLink of Chainlink. Through this initiative, around 2,400 institutions, developers, and DeFi protocols in the Chainlink ecosystems would be able to access onchain risk intelligence. This would ultimately boost the institutional adoption along with advancing the risk management, security, scalability, and reliability of the projects.
Chuck Mounts, the Chief DeFi Officer (CDO) at S&P Global, also shared his remarks on this exclusive joint venture with Chainlink, stating, “The launch of SSAs on-chain through Chainlink underscores our commitment to meeting our clients where they are. By making our SSAs available on-chain through Chainlink’s proven oracle infrastructure, we’re enabling market participants to access our assessments seamlessly using their existing DeFi infrastructure, enhancing transparency and informed decision-making across the DeFi landscape”.
