- 7-year track record
Chainlink is playing a huge role bringing crypto to everyday life. With CLNK, we’re thrilled to offer investors efficient access to one of the most important platforms behind crypto’s march to the mainstream.
Built on battle-tested infra with:
• Years of industry-standard reliability

We’re excited to announce that @UBS has successfully completed the world’s first in-production, end-to-end tokenized fund workflow leveraging the Chainlink Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) technical standard.

UBS—one of the world’s largest private banks with over $6 trillion in AUM—worked with its in-house tokenization unit UBS Tokenize and DigiFT to showcase a live, in-production tokenized fund transaction that leverages the Chainlink DTA technical standard to complete the first-ever subscription and redemption request of a tokenized fund.
This development marks a major achievement that builds upon prior work between UBS and Chainlink within the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Project Guardian initiative and proves how fund operations can be seamlessly automated onchain for increased efficiency and utility gains. In this live transaction, DigiFT functioned as the onchain fund distributor and leveraged the DTA standard to successfully request and process a subscription and redemption order.
This new end-to-end tokenized fund workflow can cover every stage of the fund lifecycle, including order taking, execution, settlement, and data synchronization across all onchain and offchain systems.
The DTA technical standard leverages key Chainlink platform capabilities, including:
• Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) for orchestration across onchain environments and existing in-house systems used by financial institutions.
• Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) for interoperability across any public or private chain.
• Automated Compliance Engine (ACE) for programmable compliance.
• NAVLink for robust pricing inputs required for fund subscriptions and redemptions.
We are excited to announce a major industry milestone in a global corporate actions initiative led by Chainlink in collaboration with 24 of the world’s largest financial organizations, including Swift (@swiftcommunity), DTCC (@The_DTCC), and Euroclear (@EuroclearGroup).

Corporate actions are a critical building block for public equity to operate successfully onchain. Building on the foundation established in the first phase of our industry initiative, we now have successfully demonstrated how the Chainlink platform, blockchains, and AI help solve one of finance’s most complex data challenges in a production-grade solution with unparalleled data accuracy, ISO 20022 messaging functionality via Swift, connectivity across DTCC AppChain as well as additional public and private blockchains, and much more.

@QuintenFrancois Justin Sun is not the type of name you want to associate with. Big mistake him being entangled in the launch. I dont get how Tron can have such a high market cap of $23B and in the top 10.
We're excited to announce that Chainlink and the United States Department of Commerce (@CommerceGov) have worked together to bring U.S. government macroeconomic data onchain.
https://t.co/Bea4iLirfZ
These new Chainlink Data Feeds securely deliver critical information around key U.S. economy metrics onchain, sourced from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (@BEA_News).
Metrics include the Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, and Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers.
Bringing key U.S. government data onchain unlocks innovative use cases for blockchain markets, including:
• Automated trading strategies
• Increased composability of tokenized assets
• Issuance of new types of digital assets
• Real-time prediction markets for crowdsourced intelligence
• Transparent dashboards powered by immutable data
• DeFi protocol risk management based on macroeconomic factors
These datasets are updated monthly or quarterly as applicable, and are initially being made available across ten blockchain ecosystems, starting with Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Botanix, Ethereum, Linea, Mantle, Optimism, Sonic, and ZKsync. Support for additional blockchain networks can be incorporated over time based on user demand.
This development builds upon Chainlink’s accelerated work with the U.S. government in 2025, including meeting with several key officials and regulators to make policy recommendations that are advancing the growth of the blockchain industry.
