We're excited to announce CCIP Private Transactions, enabling financial institutions to connect private blockchains to the multi-chain economy.
Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) will be among the first financial institutions to pilot the capability for cross-chain settlement of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) under the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) Project Guardian initiative.

“Chainlink’s new cross-chain privacy capabilities have the potential to further accelerate institutional blockchain adoption by enabling end-to-end privacy between blockchain networks,” said Nigel Dobson, Banking Services Lead at ANZ. “Through our ongoing collaboration with Chainlink Labs, we are looking forward to piloting CCIP and demonstrating how this long-standing privacy problem can be addressed.”
The new Blockchain Privacy Manager enables private blockchains to integrate with the public Chainlink Platform, while maintaining data confidentiality and supporting regulatory compliance.
With this new capability, financial institutions can now leverage Chainlink to connect private blockchains to public chains, private chains, external data resources, and TradFi systems while only revealing the onchain information selected by the institution as being necessary to process each transaction.
CCIP Private Transactions builds upon this capability, incorporating a novel onchain encryption protocol to enable confidential transfers between multiple private chains that keep transaction details entirely private.
We're excited to announce the results of an industry-wide corporate actions initiative between Chainlink, Euroclear, Swift, & 6 financial institutions.
We successfully demonstrated how AI, oracles & blockchains can solve a decades-long unstructured data challenge in finance🧵⬇️

The Challenges With Corporate Actions Today
Corporate actions events (e.g., dividends, stock splits, tender offers, mergers and acquisitions, etc.) present one of the most complex unstructured data problems in the financial world.
Today’s inefficient corporate action processes cost regional investor, broker, and custodian businesses approximately $3-5 million each annually, with 75% of firms re-validating custodian and exchange data manually.
Initially presented in human-readable formats like PDFs and press releases, corporate actions data undergoes a complex journey through custodians, brokers, fund managers, exchanges, and ultimately investors.
Key challenges include:
• No standard method for announcing events
• Extensive manual data cleaning efforts
• Lack of standardized data
• Fragmented ecosystem
• No single source of truth
1/ #Chainlink Data Streams is now live on @avax with @GMX_IO V2.
How Data Streams levels up GMX’s DeFi perps with high-throughput market data and automated execution 🧵 prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
2/ Data Streams offers next-gen speed while utilizing Chainlink’s credibly neutral oracle infrastructure.
The low-latency oracle solution enables GMX to deliver a seamless UX by providing unprecedented onchain execution speed and security. gmxio.substack.com/p/gmx-v2-is-no…
3/ Data Streams involves two main components:
1. Low-latency oracles serving an offchain stream of high-fidelity market data at a sub-second frequency.
2. Automation infrastructure that monitors for transactions, retrieves offchain data, & bundles them with settlement orders.
We’re excited to share the results of a new Smart NAV industry pilot between @The_DTCC, Chainlink, and 10 of the world’s largest financial institutions that delivered key mutual fund data onchain.
Processing $2+ quadrillion annually, The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) is the premier post-trade market infrastructure that provides clearing, settlement, asset servicing, data management, & trade reporting around millions of security transactions each day.
The pilot demonstrated how DTCC and Chainlink can make net asset value (NAV) data available across virtually any private/public blockchain.
This enables automated data dissemination and historical data access, which unlocks a multitude of use cases around fund tokenization.

1/ Cross-chain security isn't a nice-to-have—it's a necessity for all chains and protocols that want to keep their user funds secure.
How CCIP achieves the highest level of security 🧵
2/ CCIP features multiple layers of decentralization and an independent Risk Management Network for verifying transactions, making it the only cross-chain interoperability protocol that reaches the highest level of cross-chain security. blog.chain.link/five-levels-cr…
3/ CCIP’s Risk Management Network utilizes security design principles from the aerospace industry to maximize redundancy & fault tolerance.
This first-of-its-kind innovation is the only solution that can provide robust security for the cross-chain economy.blog.chain.link/ccip-risk-mana…
This new case study showcases how ANZ Bank (@ANZ_AU)—one the world’s largest banks with $1+ trillion in total assets under management—successfully demonstrated cross-chain tokenized asset settlement with #Chainlink CCIP.
Using the ANZ Digital Asset Services (DAS) portal along with CCIP as an abstraction layer, the case study demonstrated how ANZ customers could use CCIP to securely transfer ANZ-issued stablecoins cross-chain to purchase nature-based assets.
“Chainlink CCIP played a key role in abstracting away the blockchain complexity of moving tokenized assets across different chains and ensuring atomic cross-chain DvP.”—Lee Ross, Technology Domain Lead, @ANZ_AU
