Chainlink Expands Role as Foundational Layer for Tokenized Markets
Chainlink is rapidly evolving from an oracle provider into a critical infrastructure LAYER for global tokenized markets. The network now supports cross-chain settlement, identity verification, privacy protocols, and automated compliance—positioning itself as the connective tissue between traditional finance and blockchain ecosystems.
Messari's latest report highlights this transformation, noting Chainlink's growing importance as real-world asset tokenization hits record volumes. European asset managers have recently launched cross-chain settlement pilots using Chainlink's standards, with Asian banks following suit.
The network's technical stack—including CCIP for interoperability and the Onchain Data Protocol—is becoming indispensable for institutions navigating multi-chain environments. These developments coincide with Ethereum's upcoming Fusaka upgrade, signaling broader infrastructure maturation across crypto markets.
