Moody's proposes a stablecoin rating framework centered on reserve quality.

PANews reported on December 13th that, according to The Block, credit rating agency Moody's has proposed a new framework for assessing stablecoins. This framework will evaluate and rate the creditworthiness of stablecoin debt. Moody's framework effectively means that two stablecoins claiming 1:1 backing of the US dollar, even if they share the same underlying assets, could receive different ratings due to the different assets used to back them.

Moody's stated, "We will address market value considerations by estimating the market value risk for each eligible reserve asset, depending on its type and maturity." "The analysis will yield a projected interest rate applicable to the value of each asset. We also recommend considering operational, liquidity, technological, and other factors related to stablecoins to arrive at a final rating."

Solana co-founder urges need for Bitcoin to adopt quantum resistance for future security

The post Solana co-founder urges need for Bitcoin to adopt quantum resistance for future security appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko is urging the Bitcoin community to begin transitioning to quantum-resistant security measures, warning that advances in quantum computing may arrive faster than expected. Speaking during a Sept. 18 session at the All-In Summit, said the accelerating pace of technological breakthroughs means Bitcoin should not wait until the threat is imminent. According to him: “We should migrate Bitcoin to a quantum-resistant signature scheme. This is my bet, and it’s because so many technologies are converging right now, and this asymptotic rate of AI and how fast it’s accelerating—going from a research paper to an implementation—is astounding. So I would try to encourage folks to speed things up.” Yakovenko’s position is unsurprising, as market concerns over Bitcoin’s vulnerability to quantum-powered attacks have gained momentum following companies like Google reporting advances in the space. Considering this, he argued that these major tech firms’ adoption of quantum-resistant cryptography should signal the right time for Bitcoin to migrate its security architecture. The Solana co-founder furthered: “My key for this is Google and Apple adopting a quantum-resistant cryptographic stack. This is the time to go migrate, because now the consumer side of it is effectively solved and you don’t have to kind of wait. So you watch where Google’s going.” However, despite Yakovenko’s warnings, industry experts remain split on the technological advancements timeline as some argue that breakthroughs could occur within this decade, while others contend that the risks remain distant. Regardless of when its implementation occurs, Yakovenko stressed that the technology would be both a challenge and an opportunity. He said: “For the general public, quantum computing is such a massive unlock in terms of how much we can process that it’s going to be as big of a wealth creator, if we pull it off, as AI.” Bitcoin remains resilient…
