Chainlink is deepening its role in tokenized fund infrastructure as global asset managers and financial institutions move to production deployments. UBS completed its first live end-to-end tokenized fund transaction using Chainlink's Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) standard, according to the company. The workflow involved order processing, settlement, execution and data synchronization between blockchain and traditional financial systems, leveraging Chainlink's Runtime Environment, Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, Automated Compliance Engine and NAVLink services.
UBS Processes Onchain Subscription and Redemption
UBS worked with its in-house tokenization unit UBS Tokenize and DigiFT to handle onchain subscription and redemption requests. Earlier, Chainlink also piloted with Swift messaging infrastructure, showing banks can trigger tokenized fund workflows via existing systems without replacing them.
Asset Managers Push NAV Data Onchain
Fidelity International partnered with Sygnum to publish net asset value data for its Institutional Liquidity Fund on the zkSync blockchain. WisdomTree integrated Chainlink to publish NAV for its tokenized private credit fund on Ethereum, supporting automated subscriptions, redemptions and smart contract applications. Amundi and Spiko launched the Spiko Amundi Overnight Swap fund using Chainlink for automated NAV reporting and cross-chain interoperability.
Analyst Notes Shift Toward Production Fund Operations
Analyst Dami-DeFi said major financial institutions are adopting Chainlink for production-ready tokenized fund infrastructure. He noted Chainlink recently connected over 47 banks for instant FX settlement. Institutions are using the network for fund operations rather than focusing solely on token issuance. The deployments span subscriptions, compliance, settlement, interoperability and NAV reporting, reflecting broader institutional blockchain adoption across multiple asset managers.
