New @Grayscale report covers why Chainlink $LINK is one of the best "picks and shovels" opportunities in tokenization 🔥 Chainlink provides the data, interoperability, compliance, privacy and orchestration standards that power the full end-to-end lifecycle of tokenization @willhamilogden and @LowBeta break down every stage: ✅ Asset tokenized onchain → Chainlink Proof of Reserve → Verify assets are backed ✅ Investors onboarded → Chainlink Data Feeds → Provides intraday net asset value (NAV) data ✅ Asset begins trading onchain → Chainlink ACE → Enforces KYC and jurisdiction polices ✅ Asset moves to new chains → Chainlink CCIP → Facilitates secure cross-chain asset transfers ✅ Asset makes dividend or coupon payment → Chainlink CCIP and Function → Connect to offchain systems for administration ✅ Asset used as collateral in DeFi → Chainlink Data Feeds → Validate asset value for margin requirements An advanced institutional workflow, spanning multiple chains, enterprise systems, and APIs, all coordinated by the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) Importantly, Chainlink is fully blockchain-agnostic, so it doesn't matter which chains are adopted by capital markets, they all still need Chainlink "It is hard to imagine the tokenization of capital markets playing out without tools like Chainlink, regardless of which blockchain is leading." The two other service providers named in this section, Securitize and Ondo, both use Chainlink to power the distribution of their tokenized assets across onchain finance
