Chainlink

Charles Schwab, the largest U.S. brokerage with 40+ million accounts and over $12 trillion in client assets, now lets clients access the LINK token through its Schwab Crypto offering. Chainlink announced the availability as live on its official account.

Chainlink expanded its APAC Equities Streams to cover $40T+ in equity market value across China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, pricing major names including TSMC, Tencent, Samsung, SK Hynix, and BYD. Chainlink followed up with an "ICYMI" post confirming the streams are live, letting developers build onchain markets on fast, verifiable data around the largest companies in the Asia-Pacific region.

• Builders can launch equity perps, spot markets, prediction markets, and structured products priced on Chainlink data, including outside local trading hours
• Streams are live on Lighter, Jupiter, and Predict.fun, with more venues onboarding (Phoenix, Decibel, Hello Trade, Perpl)
• Extends Chainlink's equities data coverage following the Chainlink 24/7 continuous-market-data rollout at Link:NYC

OlympusDAO has deprecited its legacy bridge and fully migrated to Chainlink CCIP as the canonical cross-chain infrastructure for $280M+ of OHM. Every OHM transfer across all seven supported chains now runs on CCIP.

Apex Group, tRex (Tokeny's tokenization network), and the ERC-3643 Association have implemented a Chainlink-powered compliance framework to align onchain bonds with Swift standards. The framework applies one set of compliance rules across chains, powered by Chainlink CCIP, the Automated Compliance Engine (ACE), and Data Streams.

This lets onchain bond issuance and settlement meet institutional and Swift-level standards while rules — such as identity, ownership, and transfer restrictions — stay consistent across chains.

• Cross-chain compliance standardized for tokenized fixed-income assets
• Extends Chainlink's CCIP/ACE adoption into bond tokenization and securities infrastructure

ApeChain is deprecating its legacy cross-chain solution and migrating to Chainlink CCIP, with Chainlink announcing that CCIP is becoming the canonical cross-chain infrastructure across the entire Yuga Labs ecosystem. The migration starts with Yuga's flagship Bored Ape Yacht Club use cases, ApeChain, and the APE token, deepening the two communities' integration.

• CCIP replaces ApeChain's prior bridging setup as the network's standard cross-chain layer
• Signals Chainlink's expansion into NFT and consumer-web3 ecosystems, alongside its institutional and TradFi adoption push

Chainlink Labs filed its response to the SEC's proposed transfer agent rules, saying the regulator has a historic opportunity to modernize how markets track ownership. The filing offers recommendations on records that span blockchains and on transfer agent accountability, according to a post from Chainlink Labs' Taylor Barr that Chainlink republished.

• Responds to the SEC's September 2026 proposal to overhaul the framework for registered transfer agents, which covers tokenized securities, blockchain-based records, cybersecurity, and asset protection
• Follows Chainlink Labs' earlier engagement with the SEC's Crypto Task Force on how blockchain infrastructure can meet transfer agency requirements, including smart-contract-enforced transfer restrictions

Chainlink 24/7 is officially live, providing continuous market data for equities, commodities, and other real-world assets across trading sessions, weekends, and market holidays. The service extends Chainlink's 24/5 Streams, which closed the weekday gap, to cover weekends and holidays — enabling always-on pricing for applications such as prediction markets and tokenized RWA lending.

Aave, DeFi's largest lending protocol, is an official launch partner, adopting 24/7 Data Feeds to price tokenized RWA collateral. At Link:NYC on October 29, 2026, Polymarket also deepened its partnership with Chainlink, expanding its high-speed 15-minute markets beyond crypto — gold and silver are now live, with more commodities, equities, and FX to follow, per Polymarket's Neal Kumar.

• Delivers always-on valuations as tokenized assets increasingly trade and collateralize around the clock
• Extends Chainlink's data product suite into round-the-clock coverage across markets

Chainlink published its latest adoption update, tallying 8 integrations of the Chainlink standard across 5 services and 3 chains. Users named include Anchorage, Further, HKGX, Hanwha Investment & Securities, Polymarket, and S&P Global Ratings.

• The count consolidates adoptions announced during the "Road to Link:NYC" rollout and at Link:NYC on October 29, 2026 — including CustodySync with Anchorage, Further's ACE adoption in ADGM, the HKGX gold token on CCIP, Hanwha's RWA platform, and Chainlink 24/7 data for Polymarket

Chainlink hosted Link:NYC, its flagship event for senior banking and capital markets leaders, in New York City on October 29, 2026, drawing 35+ speakers from DTCC, CFTC, Swift, ICE, Fidelity, Citi, BlackRock, Bank of America, and others. In its official recap, posted on X and as the "Link:NYC Recap 2026" blog post, Chainlink spotlighted the Chainlink 24/7 announcement with Aave, CustodySync with Anchorage Digital, and adoption by S&P Global Ratings and LG CNS, alongside co-founder Sergey Nazarov's vision for building a new global financial system.

Hanwha Investment & Securities, a financial affiliate of Fortune Global 500 company Hanwha, has entered a strategic partnership with Chainlink to power its global real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform. Announced at Link:NYC on October 29, 2026, the firm is adopting the Chainlink data standard and CCIP as the official data and cross-chain interoperability infrastructure for the platform.

• Chainlink provides trusted pricing and NAV data for issued assets, while CCIP lets those assets and liquidity move securely across public and private blockchains through a single integration
• A joint working group will explore institutional execution, standards for using RWAs as collateral, and Korea's tokenized securities market ahead of its February 2027 framework
• Chainlink is providing dedicated technical support and connections to its global network of financial institutions

The partnership positions Hanwha Investment & Securities as a bridge bringing assets from global asset managers to onchain markets, extending Chainlink's push into Korean institutional tokenization alongside its earlier LG CNS partnership.
