Chainlink $11 Labs and Fireblocks are collaborating to create a common platform to streamline stablecoin issuance and management. The latest partnership aims to provide a comprehensive solution for stablecoin issuers, Chainlink announced today.
Solution to 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 them more efficient and effective; covering the entire process from secure issuance to custody and management of tokenized assets.
Another important feature of the platform is its increased transparency, which gives users instant access and visibility into stablecoin reserves and market data.
Compliance with Laws Becomes Easier
The jointly developed platform has built-in compliance features such as Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and Travel Rule protocols. These and similar features are aimed at directly addressing the needs of institutions looking to issue and transact stablecoins.
Angie Walker, Global Head of Banking and Capital Markets at Chainlink Labs, shared her positive views on the new partnership:
“The coming together of Chainlink and Fireblocks will help accelerate the market growth of all types of tokenized money, especially stablecoins.”
Walker believes that this collaboration will elevate stablecoins to a higher standard and ensure their acceptance as a secure payment method and trading tool in digital asset markets.
Advantage for Financial Institutions
This partnership is expected to play a significant role in facilitating banks and financial institutions’ entry into the stablecoin market. By offering everything from issuance to compliance on a single platform, Chainlink aims to increase large-scale institutional and individual stablecoin adoption.
Stephen Richardson, Managing Director of Financial Markets at Fireblocks, also commented that the timing of the solution was perfect:
“These platforms, which respond to the needs in today’s financial ecosystem, not only meet the demands of traditional financial institutions, but also empower new players in the digital asset space.”
Finally, Pablo Arboleda, CEO of digital asset company Wenia, also supports the partnership and believes it is a win-win situation for all parties.
The stablecoin market is still actively growing. However, regulatory challenges are a major concern for issuers, and the comprehensive regulatory steps that the US and EU will take on stablecoins will make things easier in the future. The EU’s MiCA is an important starting point for setting global standards in this area. The new platform can help overcome these challenges and bring confidence to the industry, especially since it takes on many of the burdens of compliance, which is very positive.
