The agency noted Friday: “We will assess the credit risk of a stablecoin’s redemption obligation and assign a rating. Our approach starts with evaluating each eligible asset type in the stablecoin’s reserve pool, then determining its credit quality via the ratings of the assets and their related counterparties.” Under the framework, two stablecoins pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar could end up with different ratings if their underlying reserve assets differ—even if both claim full dollar backing.
