Chainlink

We’re excited to share that Chainlink is facilitating the secure exchange of a Hong Kong CBDC and an Australian dollar stablecoin as part of an ongoing use case in Phase 2 of the e-HKD+ Pilot Program.

Congratulations to participants @Visa, ANZ, China AMC, and Fidelity International on their role in transforming cross-border payments.

⬡ Chainlink Adoption Update ⬡

This week, there were 8 integrations of the Chainlink standard across 4 services and 4 different chains: Base, BOB, Ethereum, and Solana.

New integrations include @build_on_bob, @maplefinance, @mindnetwork_xyz, @NuraLabs, @SpaceandTimeDB, and @Tunnl_io.

Chainlink TradFi Use Cases

Purchasing tokenized real estate in fiat using existing offchain payment networks.

Made possible by Chainlink.

In 2025, the President signed an Executive Order to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve.

Now states are taking legislative steps to hold Bitcoin and other digital assets.

This is the next phase of public-sector innovation.

We’re excited to share that @chainlinklabs has joined the @GlobalSyncFdn, the governance body supporting the Global Synchronizer—the interoperability layer of the @CantonNetwork.

We look forward to working alongside fellow foundation members such as Broadridge, Cumberland, Euroclear, and more to help establish standards for interoperable, enterprise-grade blockchain applications.

The below report, supported by @Accenture & @RWA_xyz, examines the state of blockchain adoption in financial services.

Learn why prioritizing cross-chain is a competitive advantage and how CCIP uniquely solves interoperability hurdles for institutions.

Chainlink enables asset issuers to do more.

Data Feeds supply critical pricing information so tokenized Bitcoin can be used across top DeFi lending protocols.

BTCFi scales with Chainlink.

.@KPMG, a global professional services network and "Big Four" accounting firm, published its 2025 Futures Report, highlighting Chainlink's role in connecting traditional finance with decentralized protocols:

"Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) enables SWIFT to settle tokenized assets across Ethereum, private ledgers, and other chains without requiring institutions to overhaul existing infrastructures. Instead of establishing separate systems, these integrations enhance the functionality of the current financial infrastructure. They hint at a future where interoperability, rather than disruption, will shape the progression of digital finance assets."

Tunnl—an Engagement-as-a-Service platform—has integrated Chainlink Functions to enable smart contracts on @base to verify offchain social media content using AI.

Upon verification, @Tunnl_io leverages Chainlink Automation to trigger onchain payments.

Chainlink makes AI smarter.

Investment funds today share the same identity data with multiple counterparties across fragmented, siloed systems.

Blockchain turns that into a single, verifiable source of truth accessible to all, significantly increasing efficiency.

Chainlink Build member @SpaceandTimeDB has made SXT a Cross-Chain Token (CCT), enabling it to be natively transferred across chains via Chainlink CCIP.

Space and Time has also adopted Chainlink Price Feeds to support secure DeFi markets around SXT.

“The industry needs a common identity language—one that bridges traditional finance and digital assets.”

@marketsmedia explores why onchain verifiable identity is critical to digital assets, and how @GLEIF and Chainlink are helping make it possible ↓

Chainlink Build member @mindnetwork_xyz has adopted the Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard for its native token FHE on @solana.

Powered by CCIP, FHE is now transferable across @arbitrum, @base, @BNBChain, @ethereum, and Solana.

Built to withstand what others can’t.

NEW REPORT:

Explore insights from @GLEIF on how standards for organizational identity and automated compliance can “increase the trust and integrity of financial markets globally.”

https://t.co/Zp2SS0Itl3

Since 2008, the introduction of global identity standards has significantly increased the integrity of financial markets.

However, today’s identity systems remain highly fragmented—imposing high costs, slowing onboarding, and creating friction between regulatory compliance and data protection:

• 33% of compliance budgets are spent on KYC
• $2,598 is the average onboarding cost per client
• 67% of banks and 74% of asset managers lost clients due to onboarding delays

Verifiable onchain identity is essential for reducing these inefficiencies by streamlining processes on a blockchain-based format, paving the way for widespread digital asset adoption.

The report highlights how GLEIF and Chainlink can help scale digital asset adoption by bringing globally recognized and regulatory overseen identity standards into the blockchain era. As Larry Fink highlighted in BlackRock’s 2025 Annual Chairman’s Letter to Investors:

“If we're serious about building an efficient and accessible financial system, championing tokenization alone won't suffice. We must solve digital verification, too.”
