Moody's Ratings and Chainlink announced on 10 November 2026 the completion of a pilot in which Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) delivered credit ratings from the Moody's Ratings Token Integration Engine (TIE) simultaneously to permissioned and permissionless blockchain networks.
The pilot ran in a testnet environment with representative test data; no actual rating actions were published onchain and no live rating dissemination processes were involved.
The release says Moody's Ratings rated or assessed more than 70 digital issuances, including digital bonds and tokenized funds, between January 2017 and October 2026.

Why it matters

Banks issuing or holding tokenised bonds and funds may eventually be able to read credit ratings on the chains where those assets sit, but this was a testnet exercise with no live ratings and no production date.
