Key developments: - XPL/USD data streams available for integration - Enables DeFi market development across **40+ chains** - Plasma blockchain designed for **high-performance stablecoin** operations Chainlink's full suite launched on Plasma day one: - Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) - Data Streams - Data Feeds This integration allows developers to build secure, efficient DeFi applications using XPL token data across multiple blockchain networks.

**Swift and Chainlink leaders discuss digital asset infrastructure** Swift's Chief Innovation Officer Tom Zschach and Chainlink's Sergey Nazarov spoke at The Chainlink Forum in NYC about: - **Interoperability** in capital markets - Their **long-standing collaboration** to build infrastructure for digital asset markets - **Future developments** in the digital asset industry The discussion focused on scaling digital asset markets through critical infrastructure partnerships between traditional finance and blockchain technology.

**Chainlink's Smart Value Recapture (SVR) has officially recaptured over $1.5M in non-toxic liquidation MEV**, with approximately $400K captured in just the past week. **Key Performance Metrics:** - Recapture rate averaging ~80% over the past month - New SVR-enabled searchers continue joining the network - Focus on returning more value to DeFi protocols **What is SVR?** SVR is a novel oracle solution that enables DeFi protocols to recapture oracle-related MEV and establish new revenue streams. The system supports the long-term economic sustainability of the Chainlink Network while making DeFi more efficient. **Partnership Impact** The milestone was achieved through collaboration with Aave, BGD Labs, and the broader Aave community, demonstrating how innovative oracle infrastructure can make DeFi more sustainable. This represents a significant step forward in **oracle-related MEV recapture technology** and DeFi protocol revenue optimization.

**Solstice** has launched its **USX stablecoin** with over **$150M in TVL**, integrating Chainlink's oracle infrastructure on Solana. **Key integrations include:** - Chainlink CCIP for institutional-grade interoperability - Data Streams for sub-second, tamper-proof market data - Proof of Reserve for transparent collateral verification This partnership enables **real-time price feeds** and **cross-chain functionality** for the new stablecoin, leveraging Chainlink's proven oracle network that secures over $89B in total value. The collaboration represents another major integration on Solana following Chainlink's expansion to the network, which has already unlocked $19B+ in bridged asset value through CCIP.

**Crypto Finance**, a Deutsche Börse subsidiary serving institutional clients, has integrated **Chainlink Proof of Reserve** in production. The integration enables **direct verification** of assets backing nxtAssets' physically-backed Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs. Reserve data is orchestrated through Chainlink Runtime Environment and published on Arbitrum. **Key benefits:** - Public verification of ETP reserves on Chainlink's data feed page - Shared transparency across issuers, custodians, and exchanges - Real-time on-chain asset backing verification This follows recent Chainlink adoptions by 21X (EU's first regulated on-chain exchange) and partnerships with Polymarket for prediction markets. The move strengthens institutional trust in digital asset products through verifiable on-chain data.

**Canton Network has joined Chainlink Scale** in a strategic partnership aimed at accelerating institutional blockchain adoption. **Key integrations include:** - Chainlink Data Streams and SmartData (Proof of Reserve, NAVLink) - Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) - Chainlink Labs becoming a Super Validator in Canton's Global Synchronizer **Canton Network's impressive scale:** - Supports over **$6 trillion in onchain real-world assets** - Processes **$280 billion in repos daily** - Backed by 500 validators and 30+ super validators This partnership combines Chainlink's proven infrastructure with Canton's regulatory compliance capabilities for institutional finance. The collaboration is expected to create new growth opportunities for financial institutions within the Canton ecosystem. *Learn more about this institutional blockchain milestone at [Canton Network](https://www.canton.network/news/canton-network-and-chainlink-enter-into-strategic-partnership-to-accelerate-institutional-blockchain-adoption)*

**AI-focused blockchain 0G Labs has integrated Chainlink CCIP** as its canonical cross-chain infrastructure, making its $1.3B+ market cap native token **0G a Cross-Chain Token (CCT)**. Key developments: - **Native cross-chain transfers** enabled via CCIP - **Chainlink Data Streams adopted** as preferred low-latency oracle solution - **Premium high-frequency market data** now powers the 0G ecosystem This integration allows developers to build **secure, high-performance AI-native applications** on what 0G calls the world's largest AI layer-1 blockchain. The move follows recent CCIP adoptions by Lombard Finance and Bitlayer Labs, showing growing momentum for Chainlink's interoperability standard across different blockchain ecosystems.

**Manyu token launchpad** has upgraded its native MANYU token to become a Cross-Chain Token (CCT) using Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol. **Key developments:** - MANYU can now transfer seamlessly between BNB Chain and Ethereum - Integration uses Chainlink CCIP for secure cross-chain functionality - Move aims to boost adoption across multi-chain DeFi ecosystem The upgrade follows a growing trend of projects adopting CCT standards. ApusCoin recently implemented similar functionality for transfers between Arbitrum and Ethereum. **Impact:** Cross-chain capability removes friction for users operating across different blockchain networks, potentially expanding MANYU's utility and reach in the DeFi space.

Chainlink has introduced the **Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE)**, a new development framework that allows builders to create custom workflows using Chainlink's capabilities. **Key Features:** - Developers can compose different Chainlink services into personalized workflows - Move beyond prepackaged solutions to build tailored integrations - Access the full power of the Chainlink Network through custom configurations This represents a shift toward more flexible blockchain development, giving developers greater control over how they integrate oracle services into their applications.

**Chainlink's new standards dramatically simplify blockchain transactions**, reducing complexity by up to 90% according to Sergey Nazarov. This breakthrough aims to **merge tens of trillions in global liquidity** into a unified Internet of Contracts, making it easier for institutional capital to flow into DeFi. Key benefits: - Single command orchestration across chains and legacy systems - Automated compliance integration - Streamlined access to critical data The technology addresses a major barrier preventing traditional finance from embracing decentralized protocols. By simplifying complex multi-chain operations, Chainlink positions itself as the **critical infrastructure** connecting traditional capital markets with blockchain innovation. This represents a significant step toward bridging the gap between hundreds of trillions in traditional finance and the growing DeFi ecosystem.
