The post Moody’s bridges TradFi and blockchain with onchain credit ratings launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Moody’s is taking a major step into the digital finance space by bringing its well-known credit ratings directly onto blockchain networks. By taking this path, Moody’s unifies conventional finance (TradFi) with the digital asset market. Ultimately, Moody’s would like to move it up to help fast-track the process that will accelerate banks, investors, and institutions in deciding what kind of risk they are willing to take on, as well as give them the confidence to enter, for example, onchain markets through tokenized assets.  In Moody’s Corporation, a new system, the Token Integration Engine, has been introduced for the credit ratings sector. It can support both financial and analytics data collections and also credit data transfer over blockchain networks. Viewed visually, this is simply about bridging two worlds.  It incorporates the risk assessment and credit ratings that investors already trust in traditional finance into digital financing systems. Moody’s operates a node on the Canton Network, a blockchain specifically designed for large financial institutions, which enables the company to ensure it shares its data and remains in compliance with the highest regulatory and privacy standards.  Why this move matters for digital finance As finance goes digital, trust is the top priority. Investors can only make informed decisions when they have reliable data, and emerging sectors like tokenized assets and decentralized finance find themselves even more in need of trustworthy, reliable information than ever before. As markets use blockchain, the requirement for independent, trusted risk analysis hasn’t changed, Fabian Astic says.  Moody’s is the one step toward the future, launching its credit ratings into the onchain world. When those ratings are published on the blockchain, institutions will be able to gauge better the risks posed by the digital assets they own, how much they should be trusted, and whether they meet regulatory standards. …
