Chainlink is deepening its infrastructure role in regulated finance through multiple high‑profile collaborations. In Europe, Chainlink has joined with 21X, a launching tokenized securities trading and settlement platform, to supply reliable on‑chain price‐feeds, order matching, and cross‑chain interoperability via its Cross‑Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). 21X is poised to become one of the first EU‑regulated Financial Market Infrastructures under the EU’s DLT regime.
In Saudi Arabia, Saudi Awwal Bank (SAB) has inked an innovation agreement with Chainlink to accelerate deployment of next‑generation on‑chain applications. SAB will leverage Chainlink’s CCIP and Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) to support onchain finance use cases such as tokenized sukuk, trade finance, and hybrid products, reinforcing regulatory compliance and financial innovation in the region.
Meanwhile, payments infrastructure firm Thredd is scaling its collaboration with fintech platform Reap, enabling the latter’s physical and virtual card programmes across the US and Latin America (LATAM). Thredd is offering its end‑to‑end infrastructure—authorization, transaction processing, fraud control, tokenisation, and digital wallet integration—to help Reap support high transaction volumes, stablecoin‑enabled repayments, and rapid market entries.
These partnerships exemplify a broader trend: combining robust regulated frameworks with blockchain, stablecoin, and cross‑chain infrastructure to unlock scalable, compliant financial services globally.
