Starting with kBTC, all current and future Kraken Wrapped Assets will use CCIP for secure distribution across blockchains and global markets.
After review, Kraken found that Chainlink CCIP meets strict security and risk management requirements.
Through CCIP, Kraken Wrapped Assets gain access to enterprise-grade cross-chain security, backed by:
• ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications
• Secure by default architecture
• 16 independent nodes
• Native rate limits
By bridging Kraken’s securely custodied Bitcoin across DeFi, Kraken is expanding Bitcoin's distribution and utility, unleashing its full potential as a premium collateral asset.
Markets for BTC, ETH, BNB, and SOL are now live, with near real-time settlement powered by Chainlink Data Streams.
Stock and commodity markets next.
Through onchain NAV, Chainlink is enabling Fidelity International to bring regulated yield-bearing liquidity into 24/7 digital market.
Under the hood, the Fidelity USD Digital Liquidity Fund (FILQ) is brought to market through:
• Fidelity International as asset manager and issuer
• sygnumofficial for tokenization infrastructure
• Chainlink for onchain NAV and distribution data
• J.P. Morgan for approved daily NAV data
FILQ offers 24/7 subscriptions across global time zones, while stablecoin settlement enables frictionless onchain workflows.
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) is integrating Chainlink data and orchestration standards into the DTCC’s Collateral AppChain.
DTCC and Chainlink are advancing 24/7, near-real-time collateral workflows across global markets and blockchains.
Today, asset collateral and the data required to value and transact it often operate on different timelines, creating significant inefficiencies across traditional finance.
Closing that structural timing gap requires secure, onchain reference data for tokenized collateral workflows.
DTCC and Chainlink are addressing these challenges through DTCC Collateral AppChain, a DTCC infrastructure platform for collateral, designed to provide a shared, interoperable foundation for market participants.
The platform enables near real-time collateral coordination across counterparties through programmable onchain collateral agreements.
The Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) and Chainlink data standard are powering key orchestration, data, and automation capabilities across the DTCC Collateral AppChain.
CRE serves as the secure orchestration layer connecting licensed data providers and DTCC infrastructure through onchain workflows.
It extends selected DTCC data services into blockchain-based environments while preserving institutional reliability and control.
Rather than relying on one-off integrations, CRE provides a reusable framework that can enable the DTCC Collateral AppChain to scale across new data types, asset classes, and collateral use cases over time.
This significant industry milestone is an important step forward for the adoption of tokenized collateral and production-grade digital asset infrastructure.
