- Moody’s Begins Cross-Blockchain Credit Ratings Trial with Chainlink — this brief
Moody’s conducted a testnet pilot using 
Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, or CCIP, to distribute its credit ratings simultaneously across multiple blockchains. The deployment included both permissioned networks, which restrict participation, and permissionless blockchains, which have broader access.
According to Decrypt, the objective was to test cross-blockchain delivery while preserving Moody’s existing publication and governance processes. That distinction matters for the pilot because the ratings were not presented as a new publishing system; instead, the test focused on how Moody’s information could move between blockchain environments.
The test also reflects a growing institutional focus on interoperability: the same information must remain usable when networks have different access rules. Decrypt reported no additional figures, partners, deployment timeline, or production plans for the pilot.
The broader crypto market was comparatively subdued at the time of the trial. Total crypto market capitalization stood at $2.53 trillion, while the overall market was flat. 
Bitcoin fell 0.99% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index registered 32, indicating a Fear reading. Chainlink’s LINK token traded at $10.39, down 1.91% over 24 hours and 7.26% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $7.97 billion. The results do not establish how Moody’s would structure a production deployment, but they provide a practical test of CCIP’s role in carrying governed financial data across blockchain types.
Since this brief published about 59 minutes ago, Chainlink (LINK) has moved from ₹975.92$10.39 to ₹983.44$10.47 — +0.77%.
The chart plots LINK's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution; intraday detail builds over the first day). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 LINK ≈ ₹1,041.77 (about $10.47), down 2.2% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 5.9% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
