JUST IN: Chainlink and Swift piloted automated dividend payments for tokenized stocks across 4 blockchains The hackathon project used Swift messaging, ISO 20022 and Chainlink’s Runtime Environment to coordinate a dividend from announcement to payment and reconciliation without manual steps.

Chainlink places second at Swift's hackathon with an automated dividend demo @chainlink built a hackathon entry that paid a cash dividend on tokenized shares across four blockchains with no manual steps. It used Swift's standard banking messages, and checked each wallet for sanctions and tax rules, then paid holders in stablecoins or tokenized deposits. @swiftcommunity named it runner-up in the Business Challenge, which Standard Chartered won with tokenized trade invoices.

NEW: @Chainlink launches Fulcrum, a cross-chain collateral and financing platform connecting banks, asset managers and sovereign wealth funds to onchain markets, enabling 24/7 collateral mobilization and intraday financing across public and private blockchains.

🚨 $LINK IS MOVING DEEPER INTO GLOBAL BANKING Chainlink is connecting banks to Swift’s blockchain-based infrastructure for 24/7 cross-border payments using tokenized deposits. This is exactly the kind of institutional use case $LINK was built for. Banks. Tokenized money. Always-on settlement.

"Chainlink provides the mortar that keeps the bricks together." At Sibos, @CryptoFinanceAG CEO Stijn Vander Straeten discusses how Chainlink improves the experience for the end client and unlocks onchain markets for financial institutions ↓

There’s a world of movement you don’t see. Across borders. Across currencies. Across economies. We enable financial institutions to keep that value moving securely, reliably and at extraordinary scale. And as value takes new forms, we’re helping our global community shape how it moves next. Swift. Moving the world’s value.

🚨HUGE BREAKING NEWS: Chainlink is working to connect financial institutions directly to SWIFT’s new blockchain ledger!!!!! SWIFT connects 12,500+ institutions and sees the equivalent of GLOBAL GDP flow through its network roughly every 3 DAYS! Now like many they are connecting to $LINK to making @chainlink the infrastructure connecting that financial system to the onchain world. This is absolutely MASSIVE. 🔥

BREAKING: DTCC is working with Chainlink on a Collateral AppChain designed to enable near real-time, 24/7 collateral management across markets and blockchains. The platform is expected to launch in Q1 2027.

THE BLOCK: Chainlink has launched CCIP 2.0, an upgraded version of its cross-chain infrastructure designed to help institutions move tokenized assets across public and private blockchains.

Chainlink said CCIP 2.0 is being supported by financial and infrastructure firms including ANZ, Fidelity International, Deutsche Börse's Crypto Finance, SBI Digital Markets, Sygnum, Taurus, AWS and Google Cloud.

BREAKING: Chainlink is working to connect banks to Swift’s blockchain ledger, supporting 24/7 cross-border payments with tokenized deposits while banks retain control of their transaction-signing keys.

Chainlink wants to plug banks into Swift's new blockchain ledger @chainlink is working to connect banks to Swift's blockchain ledger, letting them move bank deposits as tokens for 24/7 cross-border payments. Each bank keeps control of the keys that approve its transactions. Swift (@swiftcommunity) switched on the ledger this year, and 17 banks are now piloting it. Swift links more than 11,500 financial institutions and companies worldwide.

Ethereum transfers in seconds, not 13 minutes @ethlabs_org worked with @chainlink to build Ethereum's Fast Confirmation Rule into CCIP 2.0, which launched today. Confirmations that took about 13 minutes can now land in 12 to 24 seconds. Unlike @ethereum's full 13-minute finality, the fast rule has no staked $ETH at risk if it fails. It relies on the network running normally, and in rare cases a fast-confirmed block can still be reversed. That's why CCIP still waits the full 13 minutes by default. Token issuers can decide how much value to put on the fast path and charge extra fees for that risk.
