ROAD TO Link:NYC 🗽 NEW: Chainlink brings Vault Risk Assessments onchain with @SPGlobalRatings, the global credit rating agency. Now live on @base, the integration brings independent vault risk analysis to the $10B lending vault market, deploying them according to defined strategies, working much like managed fixed income funds. This integration of DataLink and CRE expands Chainlink’s existing collaboration with S&P Global Ratings, which previously brought its Stablecoin Stability Assessments onchain.

ROAD TO Link:NYC🗽 NEW: @further, an asset manager backed by major Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund ADQ, adopts Chainlink to power its new tokenized asset compliance platform. Chainlink ACE enforces compliance rules across every workflow, starting in ADGM, Abu Dhabi’s international finance center.

ROAD TO Link:NYC NEW: The Hong Kong Gold Exchange (HKGX), the world’s fourth-largest gold trading venue by volume, is bringing its gold-backed token to Chainlink CCIP. @goldzipxgz is integrating CCIP with @midaslabsxyz, enabling HKGX backed XGZ to move securely across blockchains.

3 days until Link:NYC. The conversations that shape industries happen in person. Make sure you're part of them.

Introducing Chainlink CustodySync, a new solution that lets qualified custodians give their institutional clients access to DeFi lending markets, all while assets remain securely in custody. With @Anchorage as the official launch partner, together we’re establishing a new standard for institutional DeFi. CustodySync keeps custody and lending systems in sync across the full lifecycle of a loan: → For custodians: faster time to market and lower operational overhead, with custodian-managed controls → For lending markets: independent, verifiable data and a consistent risk framework → For institutions: passive capital becomes productive capital More than $80 billion sits in DeFi lending markets. Meanwhile, the roughly $700 billion in digital assets under custody is less than 0.5% of all $250 trillion in traditional assets under custody. The opportunity to connect traditional institutional capital to onchain finance remains vast. Large institutions have lacked a secure way of accessing these markets. Regulations require many of them to keep their digital assets with a qualified custodian, a firm that meets specific requirements for holding assets on behalf of clients, and custody systems were never built for DeFi. Even when custody and lending systems are connected, inconsistent loan valuations can trigger premature liquidation or delayed liquidations, exposing borrowers and lenders to significant financial risk. @Anchorage, home to the first federally chartered digital asset bank in the U.S., is the first qualified custodian to adopt CustodySync, connecting its institutional clients to DeFi lending markets while their assets remain in regulated custody. Institutional capital no longer has to choose between the security of custody and the liquidity of DeFi. With Chainlink, it gets both.
