Moody’s is a 100+ year old finance company that helps businesses and leaders better evaluate risk. It invests in forward-looking tech like agentic AI and quantum computing. At Moody’s, I designed for ways to evaluate risk for cryptocurrency.
Today, there is no standard
for evaluating stablecoin risk. How might we develop a tool to help banks and financial companies evaluate risk for people who want to trade these assets?
The initial hypothesis was
that banks would want to see a series of risk evaluation criteria determined by a well-established financial company that was Moody's. We included a collection of six total risks: issuer, market, liquidity, custodian, reserve, and overall. Presenting these risk factors in a valuable way to end users was the primary focus of this design concept.
I designed a dashboard
to visualize all the different risk categories that the team decided would be valuable to show to end users. Charts would show trends over time, and numerical data would provide banks hard metrics to rely on.
The latest news
in the crypto industry is that the SEC was working on developing standards for digital assets.
