Chainlink Expands Across Major Platforms with Bank of England Partnership
🏦 Chainlink enters Bank of England
Chainlink recorded 12 new integrations across five blockchains this week, including BNB Chain, Ethereum, Polygon, Robinhood Chain, and Solana.
Key Developments:
- Major Partnerships: Robinhood, Ondo Finance, and Polymarket adopted Chainlink services

DTCC Partners with Chainlink to Connect Multi-Chain Finance Infrastructure
**Major Infrastructure Partnership** The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has partnered with Chainlink to build cross-chain connectivity for onchain finance. **Key Points:** - DTCC, the world's largest securities settlement system, is working with Chainlink to connect financial infrastructure across multiple blockchains - Chainlink's technology will serve as the interoperability layer enabling communication between different blockchain networks - This collaboration represents a significant step toward institutional adoption of blockchain technology in traditional finance **Why It Matters:** The partnership signals growing institutional confidence in blockchain infrastructure. By connecting various chains, DTCC and Chainlink are addressing one of the key challenges in onchain finance: fragmentation across different networks. This development builds on Chainlink's ongoing work to create a unified infrastructure for the future of finance.
🔒 Chainlink Launches Privacy Standard for Blockchain Transactions
**Chainlink has introduced a privacy standard that enables confidential smart contracts on any blockchain.** The solution addresses a critical barrier to institutional adoption: blockchain's default transparency. While transparency builds trust, it prevents institutions from protecting proprietary strategies and sensitive client data. **How it works:** - Computations run in trusted execution environments (TEEs) for privacy and performance - Decentralized oracle networks provide enhanced security - Advanced cryptographic techniques ensure verifiability Sensitive data and business logic remain fully confidential while maintaining proof that actions were executed correctly. This development enables institutions to leverage blockchain technology without compromising confidentiality, potentially accelerating enterprise adoption of Web3 infrastructure.
