- The latest partnership agreement between Chainlink and Fireblocks has been confirmed as they seek to secure the transfers of stablecoins worldwide.
- As part of this union, proof of reserves would be used to verify stablecoin collateral on-chain and boost transparency within the industry.
Chainlink (LINK) has announced a strategic partnership with Fireblocks to provide secure and compliant technology solutions for banks and financial institutions. According to the press release, this would enable them to issue and transact stablecoins across global financial markets.
Commenting on this, the Global Head of Banking and Capital Markets at Chainlink Labs, Angie Walker, disclosed that the collaboration would produce a powerful suite of technology services that would accelerate market growth for all forms of tokenized money when combined.
We expect this will not only provide stablecoin users with real-time visibility into asset reserves but also elevate the utility of the stablecoin as a secure payment vehicle and institutional trading instrument in digital asset markets. We plan to empower stablecoin issuers by offering a secure, smart, and scalable solution that meets the high standards for institutional and retail customers alike.
According to the report, the newly-packaged technology solution would enable data synchronization. This implies that stablecoin collateral on-chain would be verified with proof of reserves to enhance transparency and help the value of stablecoins in circulation.
More on the Technology Services Expected from the Chainlink – Fireblocks Collaboration
The technology solution from this partnership is reported to enable data connectivity and enrichment further. This indicates that the hyper-secure oracle infrastructure would power the real-time and market-wide price tracking for assets represented on-chain. Some of the other expected capabilities are issuance, compliance, custody, interoperability, and liquidity and distribution.
It is important to note that the single, real-time view of stablecoins, comprehensive, reserve, market value, and total supply offered to agents would be at a level never seen in the present market. This underscores the commitment to define a new standard for industry best practices.
According to Stephen Richardson, the Managing Director of Financial Markets at Fireblocks, the potential for stablecoin usage at the institutional level has been fast growing as the regulatory frameworks around tokenized money continue to change.
Stablecoins are driving innovation in financial markets, and issuers need a comprehensive solution—from reserves to issuance, distribution, custody, and compliance—that offers full visibility, including across multiple chains. By working with Chainlink, we are uniquely positioned to meet these critical market needs for large-scale stablecoin adoption.
Fireblocks prides itself on being an easy-to-use platform used to create new blockchain-based products and subject day-to-day operations of digital assets under effective management. Over the years, it has secured the transfers of over $6 trillion in digital assets, serving thousands of organizations across different industries.
Chainlink, on the other hand, has securely enabled $15 trillion in transaction value while collaborating with major providers and institutional banks, including Swift, ANZ, and Fidelity International.
At the beginning of the year, Wenia, part of the Bancolombia Group, launched its COPW stablecoin using both Fireblocks and Chainlink services. According to Wenia CEO Pablo Arboleda, the collaboration between Chainlink and Fireblocks would effectively enhance the usability of regulated stablecoins.
By combining top-tier technology solutions with secure and reliable infrastructure, they are creating a win-win for the industry and advancing the adoption of digital assets in a more inclusive, efficient, and accessible manner.
At press time, Chainlink was trading at $10.66 after surging by 1.7% in the last seven days. As we just reported, the asset is poised for a bullish run as investors withdraw over $60 million worth of LINK from exchanges.
