**Dusk Foundation** is integrating Chainlink's infrastructure to bring regulated securities from **NPEX**, a Dutch stock exchange, onto blockchain networks. **Key developments:** - NPEX manages €200M+ in financing with 17,500+ active investors - **Chainlink CCIP** will handle cross-chain transfers of tokenized NPEX assets - DUSK token becomes transferable across Ethereum and Solana - **Chainlink DataLink** provides exclusive oracle services for NPEX market data **Technical integration:** - Real-time price feeds through Chainlink Data Streams - Low-latency updates for institutional DeFi applications - Unified infrastructure combining regulated securities with cross-chain connectivity This follows **21X's** earlier adoption of Chainlink standards for EU-regulated tokenized securities on Polygon, where Black Manta Capital's USMO note became the first live implementation. The partnership represents institutional capital markets moving onchain while maintaining regulatory compliance.

**Brickken**, an enterprise tokenization platform with over **$300M in tokenized assets**, has upgraded to Chainlink's **Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard**. The migration enables **BKN token transfers** across three major networks: - Base - BNB Chain - Ethereum This upgrade utilizes **Chainlink's CCIP** (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol) for secure cross-chain functionality. Brickken joins other Chainlink Build members adopting the CCT standard, reflecting growing adoption of **standardized cross-chain token infrastructure** in enterprise tokenization.

**JPMorgan's blockchain deposit accounts achieve dual interoperability** - connecting seamlessly with traditional banking systems and public blockchains. Nelli Zaltsman from Kinexys by J.P. Morgan highlighted their **strategic use of Chainlink** and other mechanisms to bridge these worlds. This infrastructure enables the bank to **scale operations across multiple chains** where clients conduct business. The development represents a significant step in **traditional finance embracing blockchain technology** while maintaining existing banking relationships.

**Global Layer One (GL1)** integrates **Chainlink's Automated Compliance Engine (ACE)** to build compliant digital asset infrastructure. GL1 develops standards for regulated digital assets including: - Tokenized deposits - Securities - Stablecoins The integration combines: - **GL1's Programmable Compliance Toolkit** - encodes regulatory requirements into digital assets - **Chainlink ACE** - provides dynamic compliance capabilities **Cross-Chain Identity (CCID)** creates reusable cryptographic identities across blockchains while keeping confidential data off-chain. This collaboration enables financial institutions to operate within regulatory boundaries while accessing tokenized asset market benefits.
