On November 10, 2026, PANews reported, citing Decrypt, that Moody’s and Chainlink had completed a testnet pilot. The pilot used Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to distribute Moody’s credit ratings at the same time to permissioned chains and to public networks.
Route
The notice describes one handoff, not an asset bridge. Credit ratings are what move. It does not say anything was locked, burned, or minted.
- Origin. The pilot runs through the Moody’s Ratings Token Integration Engine (TIE). That setup keeps Moody’s existing publication and governance processes.
- Transport. Chainlink CCIP carries the ratings from that process.
- Destination. The reported outcome is simultaneous distribution to permissioned chains and public networks. The notice does not name those chains for this pilot.
What the test did not do
The pilot ran entirely on testnet and used representative test data. It did not publish actual rating actions on-chain. PANews, citing Decrypt, presents it as a demonstration of technical capability, not as a formal product.
Separate from this pilot
The same report says that from January 2017 through October 2026, Moody’s rated or assessed more than 70 digital issuances, including digital bonds and tokenized funds. Earlier in 2026, Moody’s deployed TIE on Canton Network and extended it to Solana. Those points are stated apart from the CCIP testnet pilot. The notice does not say this CCIP test delivered ratings to Canton or Solana.
Trust boundary
The report does not call the link trustless or safe, and it does not describe CCIP’s verification steps or any production acceptance of an on-chain rating. What it does state is narrower: publication and governance stay with Moody’s existing processes through TIE, and only representative test data moved on testnet.
