DTCC and Chainlink Collaboration to Redefine Financial Industry

Solv Protocol, a $2B+ TVL BTCFi platform, has strengthened its security infrastructure by implementing Chainlink's Proof of Reserve (PoR). This integration enables real-time verification of asset backing for SolvBTC, xSolvBTC, and the entire protocol. Key updates: - Live PoR feeds deployed on BNB Chain and Ethereum - Continuous verification of 1:1 collateralization - Supports Shariah-certified BTC staking vault - Enhances transparency for institutional investors The integration aims to build trust through verifiable on-chain proof rather than marketing claims, positioning Solv for increased institutional adoption.
