#DeFiGetsGraded

S&P Global gave DeFi protocol Sky a B- rating—the first time a traditional credit agency has rated a DeFi project. This could attract more institutional investors by providing familiar risk assessments, though it raises concerns about balancing oversight with decentralization.

“DeFi Gets Graded” also refers to the rise of structured rating systems for DeFi. These frameworks assess projects on factors like security audits, liquidity, tokenomics, governance, team quality, and adoption. Some use community-driven scoring to help spot risks such as rug-pulls and smart contract flaws, aiming to bring more trust and transparency to the DeFi space.
