The rating standards for cryptocurrencies among major credit rating agencies vary but share some commonalities. Agencies like S&P, Moody’s, and Fitch traditionally focus on credit risk, liquidity, and market stability, yet their application to crypto assets remains limited. Emerging crypto-specific bodies, such as the Crypto Rating Council (CRC), assess regulatory compliance, particularly under U.S. securities laws, emphasizing factors like decentralization and utility. Weiss Ratings evaluates cryptocurrencies based on risk, reward, technology, and adoption. Similarities include a focus on risk assessment and market viability, while differences arise in scope: traditional agencies prioritize financial metrics, whereas crypto-focused ones weigh technological and legal aspects. Data transparency and volatility also influence ratings across the board, though standardized methodologies for crypto remain underdeveloped compared to traditional assets.
