Moody’s has announced a partnership with blockchain technology firm Alphaledger to pilot the integration of municipal bond credit ratings on the Solana blockchain. This initiative utilizes an API to embed ratings directly on-chain, providing institutional investors with immediate access to reliable credit metrics.
The collaboration aims to enhance transparency and accessibility in the rapidly expanding real-world asset (RWA) tokenization sector, which research projects will reach a $18.9 trillion market valuation by 2033. Moody’s indicated plans to explore extending this blockchain-based rating technology to other fixed-income instruments, including corporate bonds.
This partnership marks a significant advancement in the digital transformation of traditional financial markets, leveraging blockchain infrastructure to streamline credit assessment processes for tokenized assets.
