Grayscale Names Chainlink Essential Infrastructure for Tokenized Finance

Grayscale Research has positioned chainlink as critical infrastructure for the burgeoning tokenized finance market. The asset manager's report highlights Chainlink's role in bridging real-world data with blockchain systems, enabling secure smart contract execution and cross-chain interoperability.

With $35 billion in tokenized assets currently leveraging Chainlink's oracle networks—representing just 0.01% of global securities—the growth potential appears substantial. Institutional adoption accelerates as Chainlink integrates with S&P Global and FTSE Russell, while Grayscale seeks to convert its $29 million Chainlink Trust into a NYSE Arca-listed ETF.

The report underscores how Chainlink's technology addresses key barriers in blockchain finance: reliable data feeds, regulatory compliance mechanisms, and seamless communication across distributed ledgers. As traditional financial institutions explore on-chain solutions, Chainlink emerges as the connective tissue between legacy systems and decentralized networks.
