Moody's has released a framework for rating fiat-backed stablecoins, focusing on reserve quality, liquidity, and operational risks. The agency will accept feedback until January 26, 2026. Market cap thresholds in the U.S. GENIUS Act require large stablecoins to be fully backed and audited. Tether plans to launch USAT by year-end, while USDT’s market cap exceeds $186 billion. Market performance of stablecoins remains under scrutiny as Moody's warns of risks to emerging economies.
