NEW: @BitGo (NYSE: BTGO) migrates $7.7B+ Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) to Chainlink CCIP.
After a rigorous review, BitGo deprecated its legacy bridging provider & chose CCIP as its exclusive cross-chain infra given it’s the only solution that meets institutional security requirements.
Now officially migrating to Chainlink CCIP:
✅ 12+ leading asset issuers & DeFi protocols
💰 $15 billion in total asset value
The market wants security. Chainlink is providing it.
Security, reliability and connectivity to all the key points you want to access on-chain, these are the key features Chainlink offers. Actually providing these three key features will continue to lead to a growing network effect of the top on-chain assets choosing Chainlink for cross-chain interoperability, all data and many other key operations like off-chain orchestration using CRE.
WBTC is the largest form of wrapped Bitcoin available, which is being managed by BitGo, a licensed custodian that takes their system's security seriously. After a thorough security review of Chainlink vs the alternatives they have chosen CCIP as their preferred cross-chain method for the world's largest wrapped crypto asset.

This shift by WBTC will now have CCIP powering approximately 70% of all wrapped Bitcoin, which even if it wasn't the case initially, became that way eventually due to the security, reliability and connectivity of CCIP. This is a clear example of how building for security (e.g. multiple nodes that sign) and reliability (e.g. many nodes stay up during an AWS regional outage) is the right long-term approach to accrue a market leading position, one on-chain asset type after another. This approach is also how Chainlink got its 70%+ market share in DeFi; this works in an industry that values security and reliability.
The WBTC migration is making CCIP the most widely adopted cross-chain solution for wrapped Bitcoin, set to secure nearly 70% of the market and $16B+ in value.
When $BTC moves cross-chain, it moves through CCIP.
Two non-negotiables for when the global financial system adopts new technology:
1. Trust
2. Security
@AndrewMcMarkets on why the largest financial institutions are building with Chainlink ↓
To achieve mainstream adoption, AI agent actions must be transparent & verifiable.
The agentic economy requires rails that users can audit & trust.
@EidJohann explains on @DeFi_Dad's podcast ↓
Financial markets have a $58 billion problem nobody knows about.
To solve an annual $58B+ problem for financial markets, Swift, UBS, Euroclear, & 20+ leading institutions leveraged Chainlink to reduce AI hallucination risk in corporate actions.
Tokenization is a $867+ trillion opportunity.
But to unlock that value, assets must be:
• Data-rich
• Compliant
• Interoperable
Only Chainlink delivers all three.
NEW: @Figure is bringing the $1.6+ trillion U.S. auto loan market to DeFi, powered by Chainlink.
Backed by auto loans from Figure, @HastraFi’s AUTO markets are now live and secured by Chainlink Data Streams on @kamino.
"Taking the best of the existing and combining it with the capabilities of the new”
Chainlink enables banks to seamlessly connect to any public/private chain using their existing systems & messaging standards.
Swift explains why this is the path forward ↓
NEW: @Lombard_Finance adopts Chainlink to unlock cross-chain distribution for its Bitcoin Onchain Credit Strategy with @FlowTraders (Euronext: FLOW).
Chainlink now powers secure cross-chain deposits of BTC.b and LBTC into the Strategy, expanding access to institutional credit.
It's time to pass the Clarity Act 🇺🇲
After years of bipartisan work, the U.S. is closer than ever to establishing clear rules for the digital asset industry.
Regulatory clarity fosters innovation, protects consumers, & helps establish America as the crypto capital of the world.
