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’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 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. 🧵⬇️
