Chainlink announced via X on Friday that Strategy’s $STRC digital credit is now onchain, powered by Saturn and Chainlink.
With USDat & sUSDat deposits exceeding $220M within 6 weeks, Saturn adopted Chainlink CCIP as its official cross-chain infra to unlock distribution for STRC. Saturn is a leading onchain structured digital credit protocol for the Bitcoin-backed economy, with two core assets:
-
USDat: a dollar-pegged stablecoin backed by U.S. treasuries designed for payments and DeFi liquidity.
-
sUSDat: an RWA backed by Strategy's STRC digital credit.
Saturn adopted CCIP to scale these assets cross-chain, leveraging the same infrastructure powering the majority of DeFi today.
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 1.5% over the past 24 hours, trading at $9.07.
