#DeFiGetsGraded marks a pivotal moment where traditional finance's old guard, represented by S&P Global, has finally cast a critical eye on decentralized protocols. This isn't just a simple rating; it's a profound cultural clash. The trustless, anonymous world of DeFi is being subjected to the rigid, centralized metrics of traditional credit agencies. The question now is not just what the grades are, but what this means for DeFi's soul. Will it bend to institutional standards for wider adoption, or will it resist, preserving its core ethos of radical decentralization? The verdict is out, and the future of finance hangs in the balance.
