chainlink's reserve program converting protocol revenue to direct buybacks changes everything about link tokenomics:
1. every oracle fee becomes automatic buy pressure.
2. ice's $11t derivatives market pays link directly for data feeds. (that's $340m annual revenue converting to buybacks.)
3. shorts funding the buyback program.
4. token becomes deflationary.
reserve activation in q1 means 68% market dominance oracle becomes a buyback machine (!) price discovery happens fast.
Vision has expanded its use of Chainlink CCIP to enable cross-chain transfers between @HyperliquidX's HyperCore and HyperEVM.
HyperCore, an onchain order book designed for low-latency, high-frequency execution, now provides @vsntoken with access to a new trading environment optimized for performance and liquidity.
We’re excited to announce that Intercontinental Exchange (@ICE_Markets) and Chainlink are collaborating to allow Chainlink to now bring high-quality derived forex and precious metals data onchain.

ICE is a global financial powerhouse that operates markets, clearing houses, and data services critical to the functioning of the world's economy, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Its FX rates and precious metals prices are relied on by world-leading banks, asset managers, and other institutions. The use of ICE’s Consolidated Feed data further enhances Chainlink’s data standard, delivering an onchain experience that meets the rigorous requirements of traditional capital markets and unlocks a new class of institutional-grade applications.
ICE VP, Global Data Delivery Platforms, Maurisa Baumann on the collaboration:
“With content from over 300 global exchanges and marketplaces, the ICE Consolidated Feed offers trusted, structured multi-asset class data to banks, asset managers and ISVs located around the world. We’re happy to work with Chainlink to securely and reliably provide data for onchain markets, which is an important step in growing the global blockchain economy.”
This collaboration marks a new milestone on the pathway towards the mainstream adoption of onchain finance. With demand for tokenized real-world assets expected to reach $30.1 trillion, forward-looking institutions have the opportunity to establish leadership in the digital asset space and power the rapidly growing blockchain ecosystem.
ICE serves as one of multiple high-quality data providers supporting Chainlink Data Streams, supplying established institutions and Web3 innovators with access to tamper-resistant data—paving the way towards the mainstream adoption of onchain finance.
We’re excited to share that Chainlink is facilitating the secure exchange of a Hong Kong CBDC and an Australian dollar stablecoin as part of an ongoing use case in Phase 2 of the e-HKD+ Pilot Program.
Congratulations to participants @Visa, ANZ, China AMC, and Fidelity International on their role in transforming cross-border payments.

We're excited to announce the successful completion of a cross-chain Delivery versus Payment (DvP) transaction in collaboration with Kinexys by J.P. Morgan (@jpmorgan) and @OndoFinance.

This milestone marks the first-of-its-kind cross-chain, atomic settlement of a tokenized asset between Kinexys Digital Payments’ permissioned blockchain network and a layer-1 blockchain network.
Powered end-to-end by the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), the transaction involved the exchange of Ondo Chain’s Short-Term U.S. Government Treasuries Fund (OUSG) as the asset leg with Kinexys Digital Payments’ network serving as the payment leg.
Since inception, the Kinexys platform has exceeded $1.5 trillion in notional value, processing an average of more than $2 billion daily in transaction volume. Payments transactions have grown by 10x year-over-year.
