According to Nikkei Asia, credit rating agency Moody's is preparing to adopt its own methodology to conduct credit assessments on stablecoins, aiming to meet investor demand driven by the growing adoption of digital assets in Asia and other regions.

Fabian Astic, Managing Director and Global Head of Digital Economy at Moody's, said the move reflects a shift as digital financial technology approaches mainstream adoption. He declined to disclose the timing of the first rating.

In a recent interview with Nikkei Asia in Tokyo, Astic said that over the past few years there has been a gap between supply and demand for stablecoins. He noted that stablecoin issuers are ready to launch new digital assets, but investors remain cautious due to confusion over the risks associated with cryptocurrencies.

He added that Moody's is shifting from monitoring the sector to "active participation." He leads a cross-functional digital economy team within Moody's that seeks to adapt its ratings and services to emerging technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence. Astic said the total market capitalization of stablecoins expanded rapidly to approximately USD300 billion in 2025, about double that of a year earlier, and could grow to as much as USD4 trillion in the coming years.
