Delphi Digital: Financial Institutions Standardizing on Chainlink Infrastructure

Visa, ANZ, ChinaAMC, and Fidelity International have completed a cross-border settlement solution powered by Chainlink under the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's e-HKD pilot program. **Key Components:** - **Chainlink CCIP** enables secure messaging and value transfer of e-HKD across jurisdictions and chains - **Digital Transfer Agent (DTA)** automates tokenized fund unit issuance during cross-chain transactions - **Automated Compliance Engine (ACE)** verifies identity credentials in real time while keeping personal data offchain The solution facilitates the movement of regulated digital assets between ANZ's private DASChain and public Ethereum Sepolia network, with automated compliance, identity verification, and atomic settlement within the HKMA regulatory framework. This demonstrates Chainlink's capability to address institutional requirements including reliable data sourcing, cross-chain interoperability, built-in compliance, and privacy in a single infrastructure.
