21Shares, a  US LLC subsidiary of 21Shares AG, has integrated Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve technology into Core Ethereum ETF (CETH). This strategic move aims to increase transparency of Ethereum reserves backing ETF and bolster investor confidence.

Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve offers real-time and historical data on reserves. It allows anyone to independently verify collateralization of CETH. This integration ensures that the ETF is transparently backed by Ether (ETH) which is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

Back in February 2024 21Shares had already integrated Chainlink Proof of Reserve for Bitcoin reserves backing ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF.

Chainlink Proof of Reserve eliminates central points of failure in delivering external data to blockchains. It ensures reliable on-chain updates at all times regarding CETH’s collateralization. This decentralized approach enhances security and reliability of data. 

The Proof of Reserve feeds can be monitored by anyone in near real-time. This allows investors to independently verify asset collateralization. It is crucial for maintaining investor confidence and trust. 

Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve technology is gaining traction globally. For instance, Wenia backed by Colombia’s largest bank Bancolombia Group has also integrated Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve to enhance transparency and security of its stablecoin COPW.
