Chainlink's cross-chain bridges drive a $35 billion boom in tokenized finance
- Grayscale files to convert its $29M Chainlink Trust into a staking-enabled ETF (GLNK), positioning LINK as crypto infrastructure. - Chainlink's CCIP bridges traditional finance and blockchain via cross-chain interoperability, recently collaborating with J.P. Morgan and Ondo Finance. - The tokenized assets market is projected to grow to $35B, with Chainlink addressing compliance and data transfer challenges in decentralized finance. - Strategic integrations with S&P Global and Bittensor's AI networks high
Chainlink (LINK) is described as "crucial infrastructure" for the rapidly expanding tokenized finance sector,
Grayscale places the current value of tokenized assets at $35 billion, expecting this number to rise as more institutions turn to blockchain for asset management, lending, and stablecoins. The company asserts that Chainlink’s suite of products—especially its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP)—solves major pain points in tokenized finance by allowing smooth data and asset movement across different blockchains.
The analysis also points to Chainlink’s partnerships with leading financial institutions such as S&P Global and FTSE Russell, suggesting it is well-placed to benefit as traditional markets increasingly adopt blockchain technology. The report describes Chainlink as "the vital link connecting crypto with traditional finance,"
At the same time,
Grayscale’s ETF proposal could further reinforce Chainlink’s reputation as a core asset in the crypto space.
With institutional interest in tokenized assets on the rise, Chainlink’s capabilities in interoperability and regulatory compliance are likely to become even more significant. Grayscale projects that as the market has grown from $5 billion in early 2023 to $35 billion now, the need for Chainlink’s services will also increase. Nonetheless, the sector still faces hurdles such as uncertain regulations and competition from new cross-chain solutions.
