2027 Digital Assets Outlook
Navigating the Credit Divide
Credit in Motion
Digital assets are becoming more deeply embedded in capital markets through tokenized assets, digital money and increasingly interconnected market infrastructure. As these systems converge, the key question is no longer simply what can move on-chain, but how credit risk, liquidity pressures and operational disruption may move across the ecosystem.
Moody’s Ratings analysts will explore how new dependencies across smart contracts, custodians, reserve managers, data providers and interoperability layers are reshaping risk transmission. We will also examine how cyber incidents can increasingly affect settlement, collateral access, liquidity and asset recoverability, elevating operational resilience and trusted validation as important considerations for the next phase of digital finance.
Discussion topics
- How is digital infrastructure becoming increasingly relevant to mainstream credit analysis?
- Where are new dependencies creating channels for risk transmission?
- When can a cyber incident become a settlement, liquidity or credit event?
- How will resilience and independent validation support trust in digital markets?
