Chainlink announced via X on Thursday that leading crypto exchange Kraken is deprecating its legacy cross-chain provider and migrating to Chainlink CCIP.
Kraken chose Chainlink CCIP because it offers enterprise-grade infrastructure with strict security & risk management requirements, including:
• ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications
• Secure by default architecture
• 16 independent nodes
• Native rate limits, and more.
Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and a market leader powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). Chainlink stands to benefit most from emerging blockchain industry trends, such as stablecoin adoption, real-world asset tokenization, and institutional adoption of blockchain technology.
Chainlink is powered by the LINK token, which is used to pay for platform services and secure the network’s proper functioning. Chainlink leverages a novel fee model where offchain and onchain revenue from enterprise adoption is converted to LINK tokens and stored in a strategic Chainlink Reserve.
Chainlink is at the forefront of financial innovation and the global tokenization trend. Traditional financial institutions and infrastructure, such as SWIFT, DTCC, Euroclear, J.P. Morgan, Mastercard, the Central Bank of Brazil, UBS, SBI, Fidelity International, ANZ, and many others, are adopting Chainlink as a fundamental infrastructure as they move toward tokenizing trillions onchain. Demand for Chainlink has already generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue across a variety of traditional and decentralized use cases.
Chainlink Network (LINK) aims to provide tamper-proof inputs and outputs of data for smart contracts on any blockchain. LINK is down 0.1% over the past 24 hours, trading at $10.29.
