S&P Global: Acquires OpenZeppelin

S&P Global struck an agreement to acquire OpenZeppelin. The move places the security leader behind $37 trillion in onchain transfers inside one of the oldest names in global benchmarks. OpenZeppelin contracts already anchor most major DeFi protocols, stablecoins and tokenized funds. Open source libraries stay free on GitHub while audits and engineering teams continue unchanged under the new parent. S&P Global expansion into onchain finance and blockchain infrastructure gains immediate standards and rails that regulators already trust.
