S&P gives BlackRock tokenized reserve fund top stability rating

S&P Global Ratings has assigned its highest principal stability fund rating, 'AAAm', to the BlackRock Daily Reinvestment Stablecoin Reserve Vehicle (BRSRV). This tokenized money market fund is designed to hold cash, short-term U.S. Treasury securities, and overnight repurchase agreements to maintain a stable net asset value. The rating reflects the fund's robust creditworthiness, risk management, and operational resilience, specifically noting the security of its permissioned blockchain architecture. By targeting assets that qualify under the GENIUS Act, the fund aims to serve as a high-quality reserve vehicle for stablecoin issuers. This development is significant for the RWA market as it provides a regulated, institutional-grade benchmark for collateralizing digital assets. Simultaneously, S&P reaffirmed its 'weak' assessment for Tether (USDT), highlighting a clear divergence in institutional confidence between traditional financial instruments and certain existing stablecoins. The move underscores the growing integration of traditional credit rating standards into the tokenized asset ecosystem.
