Chainlink Labs and Fireblocks are collaborating to create a joint platform aimed at facilitating stablecoin issuance and management.

A Solution for Stablecoin Issuance

The jointly developed platform combines Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network with Fireblocks’ secure custody and asset management capabilities. This integrated platform simplifies the lifecycle of stablecoins, making the entire process—from secure issuance to custody and management of tokenized assets—more efficient and effective. Another key feature of the platform is its ability to enhance transparency. Users gain real-time access to stablecoin reserves and market data, providing them with increased visibility.

Streamlining Regulatory Compliance

The jointly developed platform comes equipped with built-in compliance features such as Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and Travel Rule protocols. These features aim to directly meet the needs of institutions looking to issue and transact with stablecoins.

Benefits for Financial Institutions

This partnership is expected to play a significant role in facilitating the entry of banks and financial institutions into the stablecoin market. By offering everything from issuance to compliance on a single platform, Chainlink aims to boost large-scale institutional and individual adoption of stablecoins.

Platforms that respond to today’s financial ecosystem not only meet the demands of traditional financial institutions but also empower new players in the digital asset space.Stephen Richardson, Managing Director of Financial Markets at Fireblocks

The stablecoin market is still actively growing, despite significant regulatory challenges for issuers. Comprehensive regulatory steps taken by the U.S. and EU regarding stablecoins will make operations easier in the future. The new platform can assist in overcoming these challenges and instilling trust in the sector, particularly as it takes on many compliance burdens positively.
