Several premier institutions, including Swift, DTCC, ANZ, and Vodafone, are collaborating with Chainlink to explore the Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). The collaborations involve demonstrating secure and scalable cross-chain transfer of tokenized assets, exploring use cases that could redefine the financial industry, enabling cross-border tokenized asset purchases, and connecting IoT devices for global trade. Swell Network is integrating Chainlink CCIP to facilitate secure cross-chain token transfers for its liquid staking protocol. Chainlink CCIP provides financial institutions with the ability to transact, post data to smart contracts, capture transaction status updates, and control assets with existing infrastructure. BNP Paribas and Chainlink Labs recently discussed their collaboration using CCIP in a webinar. Nuon Finance, a Chainlink BUILD member, has integrated CCIP across multiple blockchain platforms to enable cross-chain transfers of their flatcoin, Nuon, pegged to the inflation rate.
