According to a report by crypto.news, Chainlink announced the launch of a connectivity framework that allows banks to access the SWIFT blockchain ledger through the Chainlink platform while retaining transaction signing keys.The framework coordinates the interaction between institutional systems and ledgers through the Chainlink runtime environment, allowing banks using a self-signing model to avoid handing over authorization keys to Chainlink. The SWIFT ledger supports 24/7 tokenized deposit payments, with final settlements still completed through existing real-time gross settlement mechanisms. Seventeen banks from six continents, including ANZ, HSBC, Citibank, Standard Chartered, and UBS, are preparing to pilot tokenized deposits on the SWIFT ledger.

On Monday, the oracle network Chainlink released the cross-chain interoperability protocol CCIP 2, making significant upgrades to its communication and cross-chain bridge infrastructure. The new version allows enterprises to add their own security verification checks on top of Chainlink's default network of 16 independent node operators. Enterprises can run their own validators or hire external service providers such as Infosys and Nethermind. Chainlink stated that users should not be forced to become "cross-chain security infrastructure experts."This upgrade comes about five months after the Kelp DAO was hacked in April of this year. The attackers are reportedly linked to the North Korean Lazarus group, stealing approximately $292 million in rsETH by deceiving the single validator relied upon by the Kelp cross-chain bridge, which operates on LayerZero. LayerZero blamed Kelp for using only a single validator, while Kelp stated that LayerZero employees had reviewed its setup and raised no objections. Kelp subsequently announced that it would migrate rsETH to Chainlink.The upgrade also adjusts the security mechanism that Chainlink had previously heavily promoted; its risk management network will no longer operate as an independent review node, with such independent checks now provided by optional validators. This means that users who have not added any validators currently rely on a single validation network, whereas previously they relied on two. Existing Chainlink users have been automatically migrated to the new version, but the company has not disclosed which institutions are using the new validators, only stating that Aave and Maple have begun adopting other features of the upgrade.

Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated that the Bitwise Chainlink ETF (CLNK) has surpassed an asset management scale of 50 million dollars.

On September 14, Aave Labs released an ARFC on the Aave governance forum, seeking approval to deploy a new Aave V4 Isolated Hub and Spoke to integrate institutional custody collateral as collateral for stablecoin loans. Institutional borrowers will deposit collateral with Anchorage and maintain custody during the loan period, with the custody balance represented on-chain by non-transferable custody collateral tokens CoCT, minted and burned by CustodySync designed by Chainlink.Borrowers will stake CoCT on the Spoke and withdraw stablecoins from the Isolated Hub. The entire loan lifecycle, including liquidation, is synchronized between the custodian and Aave through Chainlink infrastructure. The proposal is limited to a single Isolated Hub and a single Spoke governed by the Aave DAO, without altering existing Hubs, Spokes, or reserves. The underlying assets will always remain in custody, with Anchorage holding the assets as the custodian and acting as the counterparty for account control protocols; Chainlink does not hold the assets.CoCT is a restricted transfer ERC-20, only allowing Hub, Spoke, and CustodySync, with minting and burning exclusive to CustodySync, and each borrower's position corresponding to a contract. The initial plan is to launch a CoCT for BTC held in custody by Anchorage. The next steps involve ARFC discussions, and if supported, it will proceed to Snapshot, followed by submitting the final parameters for AIP.

SWIFT service provider Bottomline announced a collaboration with the blockchain infrastructure project Chainlink to enable over 600 bank clients in its network to access blockchain-based cross-border settlements. Bottomline processes over $16 trillion in payments annually and serves 1,200 financial institutions and 10,000 enterprises.Through this integration, banks can continue to use the ISO 20022 standard to send payment instructions, with Chainlink's infrastructure connecting the instructions to blockchain settlements. Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) supports the transfer of tokenized value across different blockchain networks, while Chainlink's Runtime Environment (CRE) is responsible for payment processes, transaction routing, and operational change coordination.CCIP has been recording mainnet activity since July 2023 and is currently connected to over 60 blockchain networks. Chainlink's Project Pangea has covered more than 50 banking institutions in Europe and South Korea, with participants managing assets totaling over $10 trillion, and the project's goals include achieving T+0 settlement for foreign exchange transactions.

On September 2, the Wyoming Stable Token Committee announced the adoption of Chainlink Proof of Reserve as the exclusive on-chain reserve verification layer for the Frontier Stable Token (FRNT), with reserves and supply balances audited by The Network Firm published to on-chain readable feeds. The current scale available for verification is not large: according to CoinGecko data, the total supply of FRNT is 967,900 tokens, with a unit price of approximately $0.99884, which only accounts for about 0.2% of the base scenario estimate (508.7 million tokens) submitted by the committee to the state legislature's budget meeting materials; the 24-hour trading volume is $160, all occurring on Kraken.The announcement separates the two products, with only Proof of Reserve currently online. The Proof of Reserve Secure Mint component, which programmatically prevents minting when reserves cannot cover total supply, is said by the committee to still be in the "adoption process." The committee previously published daily proofs on its official website, and this adjustment changes the method of data delivery rather than the update frequency. Committee Executive Director Anthony Apollo stated that adopting Chainlink's reserve proof provides transparent and verifiable confirmation that FRNT is fully backed by high-quality reserve assets; Chainlink Labs Chief Business Officer Johann Eid remarked that this demonstrates that governments can utilize the Chainlink platform to put trustworthy, fully verifiable on-chain financial infrastructure into production.

According to The Block, the Wyoming Stablecoin Committee announced the adoption of Chainlink Proof of Reserve to provide near real-time on-chain reserve verification for the state’s official stablecoin, Frontier Stable Token (FRNT). This follows the migration of cross-chain infrastructure from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP, further establishing it as the sole on-chain asset verification infrastructure.The auditing firm The Network Firm will review the reserves and token supply of FRNT according to the standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The verification data will be recorded on-chain via Chainlink, reducing information gaps between reporting periods.The committee will also introduce the Chainlink Proof of Reserve Secure Mint mechanism, requiring that verified reserves must be no less than the total supply of FRNT for any minting to occur, in order to prevent risks associated with "unlimited minting." FRNT is fully backed by reserves of U.S. dollars and short-term U.S. Treasury securities, with related earnings used to diversify state finances and support local education funds.

According to Cointelegraph, the U.S. Department of Commerce has officially adopted Chainlink to publish core macroeconomic data on-chain, covering key indicators such as actual GDP, PCE price index, and real final sales of private domestic purchasers, marking the first deep integration of traditional government data with blockchain infrastructure.

Financial services giant Charles Schwab announced on Thursday that it plans to add Solana, Avalanche, and Chainlink to its cryptocurrency trading platform in the coming months, further expanding beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, but did not provide specific launch dates. This addition comes about three months after Charles Schwab introduced direct trading of Bitcoin and Ethereum to some retail clients, who previously could only gain exposure to cryptocurrencies through exchange-traded products and stocks of companies like Coinbase and Strategy, without the ability to directly purchase cryptocurrencies.Joe Vietri, head of digital assets at Charles Schwab, stated that this expansion will provide clients with more options for digital asset allocation. Solana focuses on fast, low-cost transactions, Avalanche supports businesses and developers in creating custom blockchains, and Chainlink connects blockchains with external information, providing data such as asset prices for smart contracts. Clients can buy and sell these cryptocurrencies on the official website, mobile app, and thinkorswim platform, with a fee of 75 basis points (0.75%) per transaction.
