Canton, a public blockchain purpose-built for institutional finance, and Chainlink, an oracle platform, this week announced the live deployment of the Chainlink data standard across the Canton ecosystem. Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) will also soon go live on Canton to enable secure cross-chain transfer of tokenized real-world assets.
Building on an existing strategic Scale partnership, Chainlink Data Streams, SmartData NAV and AUM feeds, and Proof of Reserve are now available to the Canton ecosystem, bringing oracle and data infrastructure to regulatory-grade real-world assets (RWA) on-chain, and institutional tokenization workflows at scale. This includes support for Chainlink’s recently launched 24/5 Equities Streams, which unlocks on-chain access to the ~$80 trillion U.S. stock market by providing fast, secure stock and ETF market data.
With these integrations, the Canton ecosystem gains access to on-chain data to enhance the security and reliability of applications that drive real-world financial activity on-chain. Canton ecosystem partners are now already using the Chainlink data standard in production, with apps like CBTC by BitSafe, Unhedged, and firms such as Thetanuts Finance, Kairo by AngelHack and Temple combining privacy capabilities with Chainlink’s data to unlock high utility onchain collateral, decentralized options, privacy-preserving prediction markets, and more.
Since its mainnet launch in May 2024, Canton has underpinned more than $8 trillion in on-chain RWAs, processing approximately $350 billion in daily U.S. Treasury repo transactions.
Chainlink has enabled more than $28 trillion in transaction value and securing the majority of DeFi and institutional on-chain workflows.
Chainlink Labs is also a Canton Super Validator, contributing to essential network services including governance, transaction sequencing, and the Global Synchronizer interoperability layer that supports integration with traditional financial systems.
With Chainlink Data Streams, SmartData, and Proof of Reserve live on Canton, institutions now access the real-time pricing, valuation, collateral verification, and asset-backing assurances required to support lending, margining, settlement, and risk management across regulated markets.
“It’s been exciting to see how quickly the Canton ecosystem has embraced Chainlink’s data and interoperability standards in real-world production use cases. We’ve seen positive momentum and continue to expand the range of offerings available to the ecosystem to facilitate additional growth,” said Eric Saraniecki, co-founder and head of network strategy, at Digital Asset.
“We’re excited to see Canton adopt the Chainlink data and interoperability standards and unlock the massive opportunity of institutional tokenization. Together with Chainlink, (they’re) enabling regulated markets to move on-chain with the security and reliability needed to operate at scale. This is a defining step toward institutional finance operating fully on-chain, powered by the same Chainlink infrastructure that has already enabled tens of trillions in transaction value,” added Johann Eid, chief business officer at Chainlink Labs.
