Founded in 2022, Agio Ratings aims to address a critical gap in the cryptocurrency market by quantifying the risk of exmodifys, custodians and lfinishers. This enables trading firms, insurance companies and banks to create informed decisions and optimise their risk-adjusted returns.
Its ratings are applyd by risk teams such as Wintermute, Ledn, Relm Insurance and more.
Unlike the traditional ratings agencies, Agio Ratings applys quantitative methodologies that can capture a firm’s default risk as market conditions shift. Their data-based approach also creates it possible to identify risk signals that the market underweighs or neglects. The company’s track record demonstrates the value of its approach.
For example, Agio Ratings’ models identified FTX’s high probability of default four months before the exmodify’s bankruptcy, and correctly assessed that Bybit had sufficient resilience to survive its $1.5 billion security breach.
Wintermute’s Head of Risk, Alain Passini, shares the emphasis on good risk management: “Growing institutional participation is transforming crypto markets and creating a greater required for credible, indepfinishent risk innotifyigence. Agio Ratings provides a clear, data-driven view of the probability of default for exmodifys and other institutions, and their alerts deliver a valuable indepfinishent signal alongside our own monitoring by flagging anomalous transaction patterns.”
In early 2025, Agio Ratings partnered with Relm Insurance to power their crypto exmodify default product and are now in discussions with banks in the US and Europe to support their entest into crypto trading, lfinishing, and stablecoin orchestration.
