S&P Global Ratings has issued a B- credit rating to Sky Protocol, the decentralized finance platform that manages the USDS stablecoin. The assessment marks the first time the credit-rating firm has evaluated any stablecoin arrangement, whether centralized or decentralized. In its report, S&P Global cited centralization and liquidity risks as the principal constraints on Sky Protocol’s rating, placing the project below investment-grade territory. The agency nevertheless acknowledged the protocol’s growing scale and the importance of independent, on-chain collateral management in mitigating some operational risks.
