Has Infosys and Chainlink Joined Hands to Expand On-chain Finance

Infosys and Chainlink have entered a strategic partnership to accelerate the adoption of on-chain finance among global banking institutions. By leveraging Infosys's extensive reach, which supports infrastructure for over 1.7 billion customer accounts, the collaboration aims to standardize the use of Chainlink’s technology stack within traditional finance. The integration focuses on several key Chainlink services, including the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), and the Automated Compliance Engine (ACE). Additionally, the partnership incorporates Proof of Reserve, Data Streams, and Data Feeds to enhance transparency and data reliability for institutional users. With Infosys serving eight of the ten largest global investment banks, this alliance provides a significant bridge for legacy financial systems to access decentralized markets. While the announcement currently emphasizes infrastructure deployment rather than immediate capital migration, it represents a critical step toward institutional-grade on-chain operations. This move highlights the growing industry trend of integrating established IT service providers to facilitate the transition of traditional financial services onto blockchain networks.

Coinbase Tokenized Stocks Go Live as Collateral on Aave V4

Coinbase has launched seven tokenized U.S. equities—including AAPLc, AMZNc, and NVDAc—as collateral on the Aave V4 protocol deployed on the Base blockchain. These tokens, issued by Coinbase Onchain SPV Ltd and backed by shares held at Alpaca Securities LLC, allow users to borrow USDC against their equity positions without triggering a taxable sale. The integration utilizes Chainlink oracles for pricing and features a total return mechanism where dividends and stock splits are automatically reinvested. This development marks a significant milestone in the RWA sector by enabling traditional stock exposure to function as active DeFi collateral. While currently restricted to jurisdictions outside the United States, the move aims to bridge a $150 trillion global equities market with onchain lending. The system operates 24/7, though reserves pause during corporate actions to adjust multipliers. Future plans include expanding the list of supported equities and integrating the GHO stablecoin into the lending ecosystem.

Streamex Secures $1M Institutional Allocation for GLDY Tokenized Gold Strategy

Streamex has secured a $1 million institutional allocation for its GLDY tokenized gold strategy, marking a significant shift toward institutional-grade commodity tokenization. Managed by Metalayer Capital, the strategy employs a delta-neutral framework that pairs GLDY tokens with offsetting short positions in gold-linked perpetual futures to mitigate price volatility. This approach enables investors to capture a 3.5% target yield generated through a specialized gold-leasing program. The milestone validates Streamex's transition from retail-focused offerings to bulk institutional deployments, meeting rigorous compliance and transparency standards. To ensure asset integrity, the protocol integrates Chainlink proof-of-reserves to provide real-time verification of physical gold backing. By successfully delivering six consecutive distributions, the firm has demonstrated the viability of tokenized commodities for sophisticated quantitative funds. This development is critical for the RWA market as it proves that blockchain-based assets can attract deep liquidity pools and meet the complex trading requirements of traditional institutional managers.

Hamco to Launch Pan-Asia Private Equity Fund Natively On-Chain powered by Chainlink and Synthesys

Hamco has announced the launch of a tokenized Pan-Asia Private Equity Fund, designed to provide eligible investors with fractionalized exposure to pre-IPO equities in sectors like AI and semiconductors. The fund utilizes a native Cayman Islands structure and is issued through the Mint platform, integrating Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and NAVLink for on-chain transparency. By incorporating tokenized money market funds and stablecoins, the vehicle aims to solve the traditional illiquidity issues inherent in private equity by enabling near real-time fund management. This initiative marks a significant shift in the RWA market, as it moves beyond simple asset recording to engineering liquidity directly into private market vehicles. The fund will be distributed via the Synthesys Network, allowing for cross-jurisdictional compliance and broader access for non-US professional investors. This development is notable for demonstrating how blockchain infrastructure can democratize access to high-growth private markets that were previously restricted to a narrow circle of institutional insiders. Ultimately, the project serves as a practical blueprint for scaling private-market strategies through programmable fund operations and verifiable on-chain data.

Tokenized RWA surge to $4T may push LINK to $200 by end

Standard Chartered projects that the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market will reach $4 trillion by 2028, driving significant demand for decentralized oracle services. According to a report by Geoff Kendrick, the bank's global head of digital asset research, this expansion will necessitate secure external data feeds and cross-chain interoperability. Consequently, Chainlink (LINK) is positioned to capture this growth, with the bank forecasting a potential 25-fold price increase to $200 by 2030. The report highlights that Chainlink is uniquely equipped to handle the privacy-preserving compliance and financial system integrations required for large-scale tokenization. Furthermore, the bank anticipates a 37-fold rise in crypto-native and tokenized assets within decentralized finance, reaching $2.7 trillion by 2030. While Chainlink currently secures $34.4 billion in value, the forecast acknowledges risks such as institutional adoption delays and emerging competition. This analysis underscores the critical role of oracle infrastructure in bridging traditional finance with blockchain-based asset management.

Ethereum vs. Chainlink: Which Will Benefit More From Tokenization?

The tokenization market is currently defined by a strategic divergence between Ethereum, which serves as a primary settlement layer, and Chainlink, which provides essential cross-chain interoperability. Ethereum currently hosts over $15.5 billion in tokenized assets, representing more than half of the $31 billion total market value for non-stablecoin tokenized assets. Meanwhile, Chainlink has become integral to institutional infrastructure through its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), facilitating multi-chain asset movement for major entities like BlackRock’s BUIDL fund. Swift has conducted multi-year trials with institutions including Citi, BNP Paribas, and UBS to test blockchain-based asset transfers, consistently utilizing Chainlink’s technology. While Ethereum benefits from direct transaction fees, its supply dynamics are impacted by layer-2 scaling, whereas Chainlink captures value through node operator contracts and institutional service agreements. As financial institutions increasingly adopt a multi-chain approach to asset distribution, Chainlink’s ability to generate revenue across various ledgers positions it as a critical infrastructure layer. This shift highlights a broader market trend where interoperability services may capture more long-term growth than individual settlement ledgers. The ongoing transition from experimental trials to formal, fee-generating contracts remains the primary catalyst for future market valuation in this sector.

Chainlink (LINK) Surges on SEC Tokenization Approval and Banking Integration

Chainlink's LINK token experienced a 3.5% price increase, rising to $11.78 following significant regulatory and institutional developments in the RWA sector. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission introduced a five-year conditional exemption allowing blockchain-based trading of tokenized American equities, provided they maintain standard shareholder rights. This regulatory milestone provides a tangible framework for on-chain asset trading while broader legislative efforts like the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act face gridlock in the Senate. Chainlink remains central to this ecosystem, as its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) facilitates connectivity between traditional banking networks like Swift and distributed ledger technology. Bottomline recently integrated CCIP to link over 600 banking institutions to blockchain payment infrastructure. Furthermore, BitGo selected Chainlink as the exclusive cross-chain provider for its multibillion-dollar Wrapped Bitcoin infrastructure. These developments underscore the growing institutional reliance on Chainlink’s oracle and interoperability services to bridge traditional finance with tokenized assets.

CLARITY Act Senate Vote Set for September 15 as Coinbase Pushes Tokenized Stocks

Coinbase Vice Chair Ryan VanGrack emphasized that tokenization is actively reshaping capital markets as the U.S. Senate prepares for a critical cloture vote on the CLARITY Act scheduled for September 15, 2026. The bill, which previously passed the House with a 294 to 134 vote, requires 60 Senate votes to advance, necessitating bipartisan support. Recent momentum increased after the National Sheriffs Association shifted to a neutral stance, removing a key barrier for undecided Democratic senators. Coinbase is aggressively expanding its tokenized stock offerings, including assets like Nvidia and Google, which are backed one-to-one by real shares and eligible for dividends. Furthermore, the company has integrated Chainlink to allow these tokenized stocks to serve as collateral within DeFi platforms on the Base network. While the U.S. legislative outcome remains uncertain, Coinbase has secured regulatory approval in Abu Dhabi to provide tokenized security services internationally. This dual-track strategy ensures that Coinbase can continue its onchain finance operations regardless of domestic regulatory hurdles. The outcome of the Senate vote will ultimately determine whether the U.S. establishes a formal framework for these digital assets or risks losing innovation to overseas jurisdictions.

Wyoming Puts Its Stablecoin Reserves Onchain With Under $1 Million Outstanding

The state of Wyoming has officially launched the Wyoming Stable Token, a state-issued digital asset designed to provide a transparent, low-risk alternative to private stablecoins. By leveraging Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve technology, the state ensures that the underlying U.S. Treasury reserves backing the token are verified and updated on-chain in real-time. Although the project currently maintains a modest circulation with under $1 million in outstanding tokens, it represents a significant regulatory milestone for government-backed digital assets. This initiative aims to demonstrate how public entities can utilize blockchain infrastructure to enhance financial transparency and trust for institutional and retail users. The integration of Chainlink allows for automated, cryptographic verification of the reserve assets, mitigating the risks associated with opaque off-chain accounting. As the first U.S. state to pursue such a model, Wyoming is positioning itself as a leader in the intersection of sovereign debt and decentralized finance. This development signals a broader trend where government entities explore tokenization to modernize public financial management and improve the efficiency of state-backed monetary instruments.

Chainlink unlocks DeFi lending for Coinbase tokenized stocks

Chainlink has launched price feeds on the Base blockchain for four Coinbase tokenized stocks, specifically NVDAc, METAc, AAPLc, and GOOGLc. These feeds enable decentralized finance protocols to utilize these tokenized equities as collateral for lending and borrowing activities. By integrating Chainlink's V3 aggregator interface, protocols can now access real-time valuation data that accounts for dividend reinvestments and corporate actions via a specialized multiplier. Coinbase issues these B20 standard tokens through an Abu Dhabi Global Market-regulated entity, ensuring each token is backed one-to-one by underlying shares held by Alpaca Securities. This development marks a significant step in making traditional financial assets composable within the DeFi ecosystem, allowing users to leverage their holdings without selling. While these assets are not available to U.S. persons, the infrastructure supports 24-hour price reporting by aggregating data across regular and extended market hours. The integration provides the necessary oracle reliability for protocols like Aave, Morpho, and Euler to manage collateral health and liquidation processes effectively. Ultimately, this move bridges the gap between traditional equity markets and on-chain liquidity, expanding the utility of tokenized real-world assets.
