S&P Global to buy smart-contract auditor OpenZeppelin

  • OpenZeppelin has conducted more than 900 audits, including a review of Convex Finance worth $15 billion
  • The OpenZeppelin Contracts library underpins major stablecoins and tokenized funds
  • The deal will not have a material impact on S&P Global's financial statements
  • Jefferies, Clifford Chance, FT Partners and Cooley acted as advisers
Why it matters: A major traditional finance player is buying a key DeFi auditor, accelerating institutional adoption of tokenization.
