S&P Joins MAS Project Guardian for Asset Tokenization

As a researcher with extensive experience in the financial industry and a deep understanding of the digital asset economy, I am thrilled to see S&P Global Ratings’ involvement in MAS’ Project Guardian. This initiative is a crucial step towards creating a robust framework for asset tokenization and enhancing financial market liquidity and efficiency.


S&P Global Ratings has joined the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) initiative, known as Project Guardian, which aims to investigate how asset tokenization can improve financial market liquidity and efficiency. As part of this industry collaboration, S&P Global Ratings will team up with financial organizations to broaden the reach of asset tokenization in capital markets, with a specific emphasis on the Fixed Income sector.

As a researcher involved in this project, I can share that our program, now in its second year, is dedicated to establishing the foundational structure and regulations for the digital asset economy, with a particular emphasis on debt securities. S&P Global Ratings has recently joined our initiative through Project Guardian’s Fixed Income workstream. Their role includes providing analytical frameworks, evaluating risks, and creating custom benchmarks specifically designed for digital assets and tokenized markets.

Chuck Mounts, the Chief DeFi Officer at S&P Global Ratings, expressed his pleasure about becoming a part of Project Guardian. This is yet another move in our dedication to employing our extensive analytical and risk evaluation skills to assist both conventional finance (TradFi) and the expanding community of crypto-driven decentralized finance (DeFi) clients.

As a crypto investor, I’m excited about the fixed-income pilot projects underway, where institutions are experimenting with various transactions. For instance, they’re engaging in foreign exchange and bond trades using tokenized assets. Moreover, they’re exploring repurchase agreements and meticulously constructing frameworks for listing debt securities and launching initial token offerings on the Singapore Exchange.
