On Tuesday, October 14, S&amp;P Global partnered with Chainlink to publish on-chain stablecoin risk scores. The Stablecoin Stability Assessments (SSAs) will initially be available on Coinbase\u2019s Base network.<\/p>\n<p>According to S&amp;P Global, while these are not credit ratings, the assessments evaluate stablecoins based on their ability to maintain a 1:1 value to the underlying assets. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/sp-global-ratings-and-chainlink-collaboration-brings-sps-stablecoin-stability-assessments-on-chain-302582481.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Stablecoin assessments<\/a> will range from 1 (strong) to 5 (weak), and each rating will be based on reserves, governance, liquidity, and compliance.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cBy making our SSAs available on-chain through Chainlink\u2019s proven oracle infrastructure, we\u2019re enabling market participants to access our assessments seamlessly using their existing DeFi infrastructure, enhancing transparency and informed decision-making across the DeFi landscape,\u201d Chuck Mounts, Chief DeFi Officer at S&amp;P Global.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chainlink puts S&amp;P Global stablecoin scores on-chain<\/h2>\n<p>Thanks to its integration with Chainlink, S&amp;P Global\u2019s risk assessments will be available directly to DeFi protocols in real time. According to Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink, S&amp;P\u2019s credibility also enables major institutions to \u201cadopt stablecoins at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cBy making its SSAs available on-chain, Chainlink enables S&amp;P to extend its reach directly into the digital asset economy.

This unlocks a critical framework for institutions adopting stablecoins at scale, enabling a more secure and compliant foundation for digital markets,\u201d Nazarov said. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The integration comes at a time when stablecoin adoption is accelerating.
