"Chainlink and SBI Facilitate Safe and Regulatory-Compliant Cross-Chain Transfers of Tokenized Assets"

Chainlink and SBI Digital Markets Forge Strategic Alliance to Advance Multi-Chain Tokenized Asset Solutions

SBI Digital Markets, the digital asset subsidiary of Japan’s SBI Group, has entered into a strategic alliance with

to boost interoperability for tokenized assets across multiple blockchains. By leveraging , SBI seeks to establish a robust and regulatory-compliant framework for moving tokenized securities, cash, and real-world assets between both public and private blockchain networks. This partnership represents a significant move toward integrating conventional finance with decentralized technologies, meeting institutional requirements for privacy and regulatory compliance.

With CCIP, SBI Digital Markets (SBIDM) gains the ability to conduct

, ensuring that confidential information such as transaction values and counterparties remains hidden from external parties. This capability supports SBIDM’s broader ambition to become a comprehensive digital asset center, facilitating the issuance, settlement, and trading of tokenized assets while upholding regulatory standards across various regions. SBIDM is also considering the adoption of Chainlink’s Automated Compliance Engine (ACE), a solution that applies dynamic, policy-driven rules to automate compliance and streamline international transactions.

This alliance builds upon earlier joint efforts between SBI Group and Chainlink, such as

and their participation in alongside UBS Asset Management. That project showcased how blockchain automation can eliminate inefficiencies in fund management by replacing manual tasks with transparent, on-chain processes. With CCIP, SBIDM is now extending these innovations globally, focusing on expansion in Asian and European markets.

The debut of the

in November 2025 introduces an orchestration platform that connects Chainlink’s suite of services—including Oracles, CCIP, and ACE—enabling smooth integration with institutional infrastructure. Looking ahead, the anticipated launch of Chainlink Confidential Compute (CC) in 2026 will bring privacy-focused smart contract execution, catering to enterprise needs in areas like tokenized investment funds and Delivery versus Payment (DvP) solutions.

This collaboration comes at a crucial moment for Chainlink’s native token, LINK. Although LINK has dropped 36.7% over the last month, it has recently stabilized, trading at $14.96 at the time of reporting. Blockchain data shows that 11% of the circulating supply was withdrawn in 2025,

, indicating rising institutional trust and a trend toward long-term holding. Experts believe that growing infrastructure partnerships and shrinking exchange liquidity could drive a price rebound if market appetite increases.

For SBI Group, this partnership highlights Japan’s progressive regulatory stance on digital assets, including initiatives for yen-pegged stablecoins and tokenized securities. If successful, this integration could transform how institutions in Asia adopt blockchain, enabling automated compliance, international settlements, and tokenized capital markets. Nonetheless, challenges persist in scaling pilot projects to fully operational systems within regulated frameworks.
