After an extensive security review, we have decided to deprecate @LayerZero_Core bridges for SolvBTC and xSolvBTC, and migrate to @Chainlink CCIP as our official cross-chain infrastructure solution for $700M+ in tokenized BTC (SolvBTC & xSolvBTC). In light of recent industry events, Solv reviewed its existing bridges and found that CCIP provided the strongest security assurances through its secure-by-default architecture, native risk controls and proactive monitoring. Through CCIP, we are providing our users with the highest assurance that the most secure infrastructure is securing all cross-chain transfers. Furthermore, CCIP because it is widely regarded as the gold standard for decentralized interoperability and officially recognized by the @WhiteHouse as critical infrastructure for the digital asset ecosystem. This migration reinforces Solv’s unwavering commitment to delivering institutional-grade protection for our users. Learn more: insights.solv.finance/solv-protocol-…

THE CHAINLINK ENDGAME The updated Chainlink vision is here. What started as a data solution is now an extensive platform of essential services for integrating the world into the onchain economy ⬇️ blog.chain.link/chainlink-orac… What TCP/IP did for the Internet and the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) did for online development, Chainlink is doing for blockchains and onchain apps. In the early days of the Internet, scaling required more than innovation—it required unification and seamless orchestration. TCP/IP and the JRE emerged, bringing coherence to a fragmented digital world and abstracting away complexity so developers could focus on building. Blockchains are at the same turning point. With more chains and even more financial institutions and real-world assets moving onchain, the main challenge now is building apps that efficiently orchestrate across blockchains and existing systems. Advanced blockchain apps now involve multiple types of data, cross-chain interoperability, compliance policies, integration with legacy systems, and much more. Building these next-gen apps is nearly impossible to do in-house and overly complex if you have to rely on a growing list of vendors, who each only solve a small portion of the application’s overall requirements. Chainlink changes that. Chainlink is not just a price feed. It’s a unified oracle platform that underpins critical standards, services, and end-to-end solutions needed to unlock advanced blockchain applications: • Data oracles for publishing mission-critical data onchain • Interoperability oracles for moving data and value cross-chain • Compliance and privacy oracles for meeting regulatory and internal business requirements • Legacy system integration for seamless connecting between onchain and offchain systems • Verifiable orchestration and compute to power entire applications in a decentralized manner Like Java and TCP/IP before it, Chainlink unifies blockchains and abstracts away complexity, empowering developers and institutions to build and power the entire lifecycle of onchain use cases via a single, secure platform. Now, enterprises can efficiently build onchain apps that mirror the sophistication of traditional finance yet benefit from the transparency, security, and composability of blockchains and Chainlink technology. Chainlink is how the world integrates into the onchain economy.

We’re excited to announce that Chainlink is powering cross-border DvP settlement between the Central Bank of Brazil (@BancoCentralBR) & Hong Kong Monetary Authority (@hkmagovhk) alongside Banco Inter, Standard Chartered, GSBN, & 7COMm in the Drex program. blog.inter.co/banco-inter-ch… In phase two of the Central Bank of Brazil’s (BCB) Drex project, which is focused on cross-border trade, Chainlink connected BCB with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) to orchestrate seamless and secure trade settlement across jurisdictions in a compliant manner. In addition to BCB, HKMA, and Chainlink, there were multiple leading organizations involved in this workflow: • Standard Chartered (@StanChart)—Global bank with over $800 billion in total assets. • Banco Inter (@interbr)—The Brazilian financial super-app serving over 40 million users. • Global Shipping Business Network (@gsbn_trade)—The consortium empowering digital trade with its data infrastructure and ecosystem partners. • 7COMm—Technology provider serving the largest financial institutions in Brazil. Chainlink powers the DvP solution end-to-end and enables conditional, installment-based payments for goods via different digital currencies and tokenized reserves with: • Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) established interoperability channels between the Drex platform and the Hong Kong Ensemble Network (led by the HKMA), and between the DLT-based Trade Finance Platform (TFP) on Besu and GSBN. This enabled CRE to seamlessly transfer payment instructions between Drex, Banco Inter, and HKMA—translating messages into the correct format when needed (e.g., ISO 20022 for HKMA)—and to call the GSBN API to trigger eBL (electronic Bill of Lading) transfers. • Chainlink CCIP enabled secure communication between the Drex platform and TFP, ensuring events such as contract execution or credit release to be automatically synchronized between different networks. This solution marks the first time a blockchain-based title registry and cross-chain payment infrastructure were connected via a single, automated workflow, setting a new standard for global trade settlement. Bruno Grossi, Head of Emerging Technologies at Banco Inter: “By implementing Chainlink as the standard for connecting the Central Bank of Brazil, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, and existing trade finance platforms, we’re building a more connected financial ecosystem that will underpin the future of global trade.”

We’re excited to announce a strategic partnership between Chainlink and SBI Group one of Japan’s largest financial conglomerates with the USD equivalent of over $200 billion in total assets. prnewswire.com/news-releases/… SBI Group and Chainlink will focus on powering several innovative use cases centered around tokenized funds, tokenized real-world assets such as real estate and bonds, regulated stablecoins, and more. SBI Group and Japanese financial services companies will leverage Chainlink services, including the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), SmartData (NAV), and Proof of Reserve to unlock secondary market liquidity and enhance the operational efficiency of tokenized assets while seamlessly fulfilling compliance and privacy requirements. Yoshitaka Kitao, Representative Director, Chairman, President & CEO of SBI Holdings, stated: “Chainlink is a natural partner for SBI complementing our financial footprint with their market leading interoperability and reliability onchain. With our combined strengths, we are delighted to be working together on developing groundbreaking, secure, compliance-focused solutions, including powering compliant cross-border transactions using stablecoins, that accelerate the widespread adoption of digital assets in Japan and the region.” Chainlink, UBS Asset Management, and SBI Digital Markets previously completed a solution for automated fund administration and transfer agency using smart contracts under the Monetary Authority of Singapore's (MAS) Project Guardian.

We’re excited to announce a landmark technical solution enabling financial institutions worldwide to manage digital asset workflows directly from their existing systems using Swift (@swiftcommunity) messaging and Chainlink in collaboration with @UBS. prnewswire.com/news-releases/… With Swift messages and the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), banks and institutions can seamlessly access blockchains through the same Swift infrastructure they have relied upon for decades. The first use case involved UBS Tokenize, the tokenization unit of one of the world’s largest private banks with over $6 trillion in assets under management. Subscriptions and redemptions for a tokenized fund smart contract from UBS were triggered using ISO 20022 messages through CRE and Swift infrastructure. CRE received the Swift messages, which then triggered subscription and redemption workflows in the newly launched Chainlink Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) technical standard. This new plug-and-play solution shows how transfer agents, financial institutions, and other entities can manage tokenized asset workflows onchain without upgrading to new infrastructure, replacing their existing processes, or integrating new identity and key management solutions.

We’re excited to announce that WisdomTree (@WisdomTreeFunds), a global asset manager with $130B+ AUM, has adopted Chainlink to bring institutional-grade NAV data onchain to power subscriptions and redemptions for its CRDT tokenized fund on Ethereum. prnewswire.com/news-releases/… The WisdomTree Private Credit and Alternative Income Digital Fund (CRDT) is a tokenized private credit fund that provides exposure to a diversified portfolio of liquid private credit and alternative income instruments, tracking the Gapstow Liquid Alternative Credit Index (GLACI). By bringing the CRDT fund’s NAV data onchain via the Chainlink data standard, WisdomTree can enable subscriptions and redemptions through its Prime and Connect platforms, while ensuring that the fund maintains institutional-grade transparency, auditability, and interoperability with the broader digital asset ecosystem. With verified NAV data available on Ethereum via Chainlink, DeFi protocols and institutional platforms can also now reference CRDT’s valuation in smart contracts, unlocking new use cases across lending, yield aggregation, and automated portfolio management.
