Chainlink Labs

When a tokenized share exists across multiple blockchains, there is no single registry to determine who receives dividends and no standardized way to pay every holder across networks. For the 2026 Swift Hackathon Business Challenge, Chainlink built a solution that automatically enables payment of a cash dividend to holders across multiple blockchains.  The Chainlink-powered solution runs from the initial corporate action announcement through payment and final reconciliation, with no manual intervention: • CRE orchestrates the full workflow and creates a single ownership record across every blockchain. • CCIP enables the delivery of stablecoins or tokenized deposits to holders across chains. • ACE checks each wallet against the required identity, sanctions, tax, and eligibility rules. • Price Feeds provide the data needed to adjust the reference price when shares go ex-dividend. The solution also proposes extensions to existing ISO 20022 messages to specify the exact entitlement snapshot, beneficiary wallet, target blockchain, settlement token, and onchain transaction reference. This provides a model for servicing tokenized assets across multiple blockchains while preserving the roles, messaging standards, and infrastructure institutions already use. Thank you to Swift for organizing this year’s Business Challenge and naming Chainlink’s solution the runner-up. We look forward to continuing to build on our joint work with the Swift community.

Heading to TOKEN2049 Singapore next week, it’s an incredible time for the Chainlink Labs ecosystem and I’m looking forward to connecting with our partners and the broader digital asset space. In my conversations with global financial institutions during Sibos, it’s clear how rapidly our shared infrastructure is maturing. Two major developments are dominating my discussions right now: Chainlink CCIP 2.0: The real unlock here for our global partners - whether banks, asset managers, or issuers - is frictionless distribution. Beyond the $84B+ in value already secured, this gives institutions a single, compliant integration to deploy tokenized assets across any blockchain or new market they enter. Chainlink Fulcrum: This is the bridge our institutional partners have been asking for to access onchain financing. By separating agreement management from collateral settlement, counterparties finally have the flexibility to define their own eligible assets and networks. The market is moving away from bespoke, isolated systems toward interoperable, institutional-grade infrastructure. If you are in Singapore this coming week working on asset tokenization or looking to partner on these frameworks, let's connect.

SERGEY ON THE ROLLUP. LIVE FROM SIBOS MIAMI. FULL INTERVIEW DROPPING TOMORROW.

Sibos wrap-up day 3: Corporate actions - fixing fragmentation before automating it - https://lnkd.in/g59QFU7f Global Custodian is joined by representatives from The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), Brown Brothers Harriman and Chainlink Labs for the third Sibos 2026 daily wrap-up, discussing the challenges of fragmented corporate actions and post-trade processes, and whether the industry can standardise before turning to automation and AI.

The Digital Chamber State Network and Chainlink hosted a leadership dinner last night ahead of the StateChain Summit 2026. Thanks to everyone who joined us for a conversation about what's next for states and blockchain.

Chainlink has been selected to serve as an official data oracle infrastructure for Open Standard and its stablecoin Open USD (OUSD). Supported by 200+ global businesses and institutions, including the world’s largest payment companies Stripe, Mastercard, and Visa, OUSD delivers a new paradigm for internet-native money through zero-cost minting/redemptions and shared reserve economics. By incorporating Chainlink into its stablecoin distribution strategy, OUSD gains the tamper-proof market and pricing data needed to unlock adoption across DeFi and institutional onchain finance → 24/7 Merchant Settlement: Chainlink provides real-time fiat-to-OUSD conversion rates, enabling payment processors to settle transactions around the clock with transparent pricing. → Programmatic Corporate Treasury: Chainlink delivers continuous market data, allowing treasury smart contracts to automatically rebalance idle OUSD into yield-bearing assets. → Institutional Collateral & Trading: Chainlink feeds high-fidelity market data to risk engines, securing collateral valuations, margin calculations, and liquidations across OUSD-denominated markets. → Global Payouts & Agentic Commerce: Chainlink powers accurate FX rates, enabling neobanks, remittance platforms, and AI agents to execute low-cost cross-border payments. By combining an open stablecoin infrastructure with secure oracle data, Open Standard and Chainlink are laying the foundation for institutional onchain finance.

Bottomline moves $16+ trillion in payments annually for more than 600 banks. At Sibos 2026, Natasha Lapierre, Global Head of Product Strategy and Innovation at Bottomline, explains the firm’s strategic partnership with Chainlink ↓

Introducing Chainlink Fulcrum: the gateway connecting the world’s largest financial institutions to onchain financing. Chainlink Fulcrum separates where financing agreements are managed from where cash & collateral settle. Counterparties define the eligible assets, financing terms, and the settlement networks through which the assets move. For institutions, this unlocks: • Faster collateral mobilization that enables intraday financing, including on holidays and weekends. • 24/7 risk management through automated collateral coverage checks throughout the day, extending beyond end-of-day processes. • Greater capital efficiency by making assets across networks available for financing, helping institutions free up balance sheet capacity. • Lower operational complexity through reusable workflows that connect existing systems across public and private blockchains. The solution combines multiple aspects of the Chainlink platform, including: • Chainlink Runtime Environment (orchestrates transaction lifecycle) • CCIP (cross-chain data and asset transfers) • Data Streams (collateral valuation data) This is a foundational step toward global financing markets, where an asset’s utility extends beyond the network on which it was issued.
