S&P Global Ratings launches risk assessment tool for digital asset vaults

Alistair Berg
- S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global (SPGI), has launched its vault risk assessment, a new analytical approach that delivers independent, forward-looking insights into the risks associated with digital asset lending vaults, according to a statement on Sunday.
- The new framework delivers independent risk transparency for on-chain investment vehicles, furthering S&P Global (SPGI)'s offerings across the DeFi space.
- Digital asset lending vaults are investment vehicles that operate on a blockchain. They pool investor deposits and deploy them according to defined strategies, working much like managed fixed-income funds. Total deposits in vaults reached $10 billion as of September 2026, demonstrating rapid growth from $1.5 billion two years earlier.
