## CHAINLINK ACHIEVES A MAJOR MILESTONE:
#ChainlinkUpdate #Chainlink $LINK
In a major trial in Hong Kong, Chainlink acted as an intermediary to connect e-HKD 🇭🇰 (Hong Kong's CBDC) with A$DC 🇦🇺 (a stablecoin pegged to the Australian dollar).
A national digital currency – known as CBDC – is the digital version of money issued by a central bank. It is similar to cash but runs on modern blockchain technology.
Chainlink uses its own technology (CCIP) to ensure that the currency exchange process between countries occurs instantly, securely, and without the need for intermediaries.
!This is an important step for countries to use digital currency more flexibly and transparently – both in traditional banking and in the DeFi world!
