FINANCIAL MARKET INFRASTRUCTURES

Establishing a Unified Standard for Asset Servicing With the Chainlink Platform, Blockchains, and AI

Announced at Sibos 2025, Chainlink and 24 of the world’s largest financial institutions and market infrastructures, including Swift, DTCC, Euroclear, UBS, and Wellington Management, continued their work on corporate actions processing. Building on the foundations established in Phase 1, the second phase introduces a production-grade system that includes new data attestor and data contributor roles. These roles enable trusted institutions to validate and enrich the LLM-extracted corporate actions records, allowing data accuracy for confirmed records to reach 100%.

The Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) orchestrated the validation of multiple AI model outputs and transformed the confirmed results into ISO 20022-compliant messages, which were then transmitted to the Swift Network. In parallel, Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) distributed these same confirmed records across DTCC’s blockchain ecosystem and additional public and private blockchain environments, enabling simultaneous access across traditional infrastructure and blockchain-based platforms. New institutionally-designated roles for data attestors and contributors were also introduced to cryptographically attest to data accuracy and contribute to any missing data fields, creating a verifiable chain of custody across the lifecycle of each corporate action.

Throughout testing, the system achieved nearly 100% data consensus agreement among AI models across all evaluated corporate actions. The architecture also demonstrated support for multilingual processing across disclosures written in non-English languages, such as Spanish and Chinese, enabling broader global coverage across jurisdictions.

This solution unlocks a unified golden record for corporate actions, an attested, real-time source of truth that can be accessed simultaneously by smart contracts, custodians, and post-trade systems. It also enables tokenized equities, an increasingly adopted category of tokenized assets, to reference the same confirmed records across public and private blockchains, laying the groundwork for better synchronization and increased automation across onchain markets.

By standardizing how corporate actions data is extracted, validated, and delivered, the collaboration creates a shared foundation for asset servicing across both blockchain networks and traditional financial infrastructure.

ASSET MANAGERS

Chainlink Introduces the Digital Transfer Agent Technical Standard, Advances Tokenized Fund Workflows With Swift Messaging in Collaboration With UBS

Chainlink announced a landmark technical solution enabling financial institutions worldwide to manage digital asset workflows directly from their existing systems using Swift messaging and the CRE. With Swift messages and the CRE, banks and institutions can seamlessly access blockchains through the same Swift infrastructure they have relied upon for decades. This shows how institutions can access blockchains without needing to upgrade to new infrastructure, replace their existing processes, or integrate new identity and key management solutions. 

A first use case involved a technical and operational pilot with UBS Tokenize, the in-house tokenization unit of UBS. Subscriptions and redemptions for a tokenized fund smart contract from UBS were triggered using ISO 20022 messages through CRE and Swift infrastructure. CRE received the Swift messages, which then triggered subscription and redemption workflows in the Chainlink Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) technical standard. 

This new plug-and-play solution is set to be a critical unlock for the $100+ trillion global fund industry. Institutions can leverage the speed, efficiency, composability, and risk management benefits of blockchain technology that are only fully realized when tokenized fund workflows are fully onchain.

The use case highlights how, in a single platform, Chainlink overcomes the three key challenges in creating next-gen smart contracts for institutional transactions:

1. Providing access to data onchain enables tokenized assets to be properly priced and supports automated onchain transfer agent operations. Chainlink is providing NAV data to enable the Digital Transfer Agent smart contract to automate updates, ensuring accurate pricing for subscriptions and redemptions of a tokenized money market fund.
2. Powering cross-chain interoperability enables digital assets and data to be securely transferred across multiple public and private blockchain networks. Chainlink CCIP is powering a cross-chain PvP settlement workflow that supports atomic settlement for the cash (e-HKD CBDC and ANZ’s stablecoin) leg of the transaction.
3. Bringing verifiable identity data onchain, while protecting user privacy, enables new use cases to meet the high regulatory requirements and internal policy controls of institutions. Chainlink is enabling compliance by allowing ANZ’s offchain identity registry to be verified onchain and create reusable credentials, ensuring transactions adhere to required regulatory standards across Hong Kong and Australia.

Combining these capabilities, the Chainlink platform is enabling Fidelity International and ANZ to validate how secure, privacy-preserving, and compliance-ready infrastructure streamlines tokenized fund operations at scale.
