Chainlink deeply integrates into Wall Street: DTCC deal and five new blockchains

• Advertisement -

• DTCC Integrates Chainlink's Runtime Environment into Its Collateral AppChain and Plans Production Launch for Q4 2026.

• On May 22, Chainlink Integrated CCIP on Creditcoin, Neo X and Tempo, CRE on Ink, and Data Streams on Robinhood Chain.

On May 12, the DTCC announced that its Collateral AppChain will integrate the Chainlink Runtime Environment as well as Chainlink's data standard. The goal is a system that handles pricing, valuation, margining, and settlement of collateral around the clock and in real time, across traditional financial markets and blockchain networks.

The AppChain runs on Hyperledger Besu and uses smart contracts for tokenization of traditional assets. A first live transaction test is planned for July 2026, with the full Production Launch following in October.

DTCC Managing Director Nadine Chakar said about the integration:

“The integration of Chainlink's CRE and data standard will enable us to create a unified on-chain environment that provides asset prices, valuations, and collateral data for this transformative industry initiative.”

Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov described Collateral Management as the killer app that traditional finance has been waiting for from the industry.

The organization processes securities transactions worth trillions daily and safeguards assets valued at over $114 trillion. More than 50 major financial institutions are involved in the Collateral AppChain initiative. When the AppChain goes into production, CRE will become permanent infrastructure at the heart of the U.S. securities markets.

Chainlink Expands to Five New Blockchains

Last Friday, May 22, Chainlink announced a series of new blockchain integrations. CCIP, Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, has gone live on Creditcoin, Neo X and Tempo, enabling these networks to conduct secure cross-chain transactions.

Ink has integrated CRE and Data Feeds to gain access to secure off-chain data. Robinhood Chain is testing Data Streams on testnet for high-frequency real-time data streams.

According to Chainlink's Q1 review, the CCIP transfer volume grew by 78% quarter-over-quarter and 319% year-over-year. The number of active tokens on CCIP increased by more than 165% year-over-year, while fee revenue rose 213% quarter-over-quarter.

What This Means for LINK

In the first quarter of 2026, the U.S. regulators SEC and CFTC jointly clarified that the LINK token should be classified as a digital commodity and not as a security. LINK futures have since been tradable on the CME Group, the world's largest CFTC-regulated derivatives market. For institutional investors, this provides regulatory clarity that was previously lacking.

Chainlink is the only oracle protocol that simultaneously has Aave, Compound, and the DTCC as clients. Deloitte & Touche completed the SOC 2 Type 2 audit for CCIP and Data Feeds in the first quarter. Chainlink is thus the only oracle platform that meets SOC 2 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 1, and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 at the same time. These exact certifications are the reason why the DTCC chose Chainlink and not a competitor.

LINK is trading at $9.53 at the time of writing and has gained 0.31% in the past 24 hours. On a weekly basis, it shows a slight loss of 2.21%, with a daily trading volume of $274.88 million.
