Chainlink Expands Institutional Reach
Chainlink’s Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) technical standard marked another milestone. DTA helps fund administrators and transfer agents manage tokenized assets while staying compliant with existing regulations. UBS Asset Management was the first to use this standard and applied it through its tokenized money market fund, UBS uMINT.
Chainlink has expanded its reach by teaming up with Swift and UBS. The goal of this partnership is to create a system that lets financial institutions handle digital asset transactions directly through their regular traditional systems.
This advancement was made through Chainlink’s Runtime Environment (CRE) and Swift’s ISO 20022 messaging system. These tools made tokenized fund operations smoother and more connected. Chainlink’s CEO, Sergey Nazarov, said at Swift’s Sibos conference that,
It has become clear to everyone in the TradFi and DeFi community that the Chainlink Stack is the only system where you can get all of your digital asset challenges solved using a single standard.
Adding to that, Chainlink joined forces with the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) to introduce an institutional-grade identity solution combining GLEIF’s verified Legal Entity Identifiers with Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Identity and Automated Compliance Engine. This effort brings over three million global company ID records into verifiable blockchain form.
Major Banks Adopt Chainlink for Verified On-chain Data
In the Middle East, Saudi Awwal Bank has started using Chainlink to offer on-chain financial services. The bank manages more than $100 billion in assets. Turkey’s Misyon Bank adopted Chainlink’s Price Feeds and Proof of Reserve to verify the backing of its lira-backed token called MTLK.
In Europe, 21X, the first regulated on-chain securities exchange in the European Union, began operations using Chainlink’s data feeds to maintain real-time transparency.
The firm also received new certification standards validating its infrastructure resilience. Deloitte & Touche LLP awarded Chainlink with the ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 1 certifications encompassing its Price Feeds, SmartData, and Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP).
Additionally, Chainlink’s Reserve accumulated 523,159 LINK tokens earned by the issuance of off-chain and on-chain revenues. At the same time, the network held about 70 percent market share in the oracle industry and continued to act as a backbone for data reliability across multiple blockchain ecosystems.
With institutions worldwide embracing Chainlink standards across sectors, the firm reinvents itself as the all-in-one platform for institutional blockchain infrastructure.
At the moment, LINK is priced at $16.81, showing a marginal 0.06% increase over the past 24 hours. The token is sitting above the crucial $16 support, indicating soft bullish pressure within the market. A move past $17 could reinforce upward momentum, while a dip below $15.80 could induce new selling interest.
