what's Bluechip?
Bluechip is an independent, nonprofit stablecoin rating agency that evaluates stablecoins—cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a stable value, typically pegged to fiat currencies like the USD. It assesses factors such as reserves, transparency, and operational risks to provide public ratings, helping users identify safer options in the ecosystem. Ratings range from high grades like A for top performers, such as Ripple's RLUSD, based on rigorous analysis. The agency publishes in-depth reports on stablecoin infrastructure, including on/off-ramps, fiat access costs across markets, and regional dynamics like P2P trading in Africa. It also hosts events like the Bluechip26 Crypto Safety Conference and maintains directories of service providers such as OTC desks and KYC firms, promoting transparency and safety in the stablecoin space.
Bluechip assigned an A- rating to Liquity Protocol's BOLD stablecoin, the only DeFi stablecoin with this rating.
