• Huma Finance selected Chainlink CCIP as the exclusive cross-chain infrastructure for PST and future yield products.

• Chainlink price held near $9 as traders watched whether LINK could defend support and move back toward $10.

Huma Finance has selected Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) as the exclusive cross-chain infrastructure for its core yield product, PST. The PayFi network said the move follows a review of cross-chain systems after recent bridge-related security failures across DeFi. Huma will use Chainlink CCIP for PST and all future yield products as it expands Solana-based yield assets across multiple blockchains.

The decision centers on cross-chain security, a major issue for protocols that move assets across networks. Institutional assets require risk controls such as rate limits, issuer attestations, and policy-based checks. These controls help reduce exposure when protocols connect payment-backed assets to different blockchain ecosystems.

Huma plans to use Chainlink’s data and interoperability standards to bridge Solana-based yield assets into the wider multi-chain market. The company said every CCIP bridge lane uses decentralized oracle networks, with at least 16 independent and security-reviewed node operators securing each lane. The setup gives Huma a framework for moving assets while maintaining verification across chains.

Chainlink Data Feeds and Data Streams will also support PST markets across the multi-chain ecosystem. The tools help provide reliable market data for products tied to institutional-grade yield. Its broader network recently crossed $12 billion in cumulative on-chain transaction volume and more than $170 million in active liquidity.

Chainlink Adoption Expands

Meanwhile, Chainlink continues to draw attention across institutional and DeFi use cases. The network recently crossed $30 trillion in transaction value after surpassing $29 trillion only a few weeks earlier. The milestone is a marker of rising network adoption.

We posted that they passed $29T only a couple of weeks ago! For context it would take 1 MILLION YEARS to count to 30T!$LINK adoption is going parabolic pic.twitter.com/Tt4RT8XRNh

Separately, SmartContract Inc. published a patent tied to a blockchain abstraction layer built on Chainlink nodes. According to the thread, the proposed structure allows institutions to send generic requests while Chainlink nodes translate, sign, sponsor gas, execute on-chain actions, and return confirmations through an API. The system includes CRE Connect, where 16 decentralized nodes attest to on-chain events before delivering cryptographic proofs to institutions.

LINK is changing hands near** $9.15** after rallying from the $9 support level. LINK price analysis placed the token between its 20-day and 50-day EMAs, while the 200-day EMA, near $11.61, remained a higher resistance level.

The $9 level is the main area to watch in the near term. A sustained hold above that zone could keep LINK positioned for another move toward $10.00, where traders expect the next liquidity test. However, a break below** $9 **could expose the lower liquidity area near $8.30, according to recent technical analysis.
