S&P Global Ratings: Over half of Stablecoin Stability Assessments are adequate or above

S&P Global Ratings announced on August 4, 2026, that a majority of stablecoins under its review meet sufficient stability requirements.

Of the 11 digital currencies covered by the company's Stablecoin Stability Assessments (SSA), six received ratings of adequate or higher for their ability to maintain their peg to fiat currency. This suggests that the stability of these digital currencies is at least satisfactory.

The assessment specifically examines how well stablecoins can maintain their value relative to a fiat currency, such as the U.S. dollar. This is a crucial aspect of their reliability and usability as investment and payment instruments.

The results of these assessments are intended to provide market participants with a clearer understanding of the risk profiles and stability associated with various stablecoins.
