Chainlink Labs and Fireblocks have announced a joint effort to improve the issuance and transaction of stablecoins. This union revealed on September 17, is designed to provide banks and financial institutions with developed tools to allocate and transact stablecoins.
Streamlining Stablecoin Issuance
At the core of this collaboration is a tokenization engine that will enable the secure minting, custody, distribution, and management of tokenized assets, including stablecoins. This technology is expected to simplify the process for stablecoin issuers, offering support from issuance aids to interoperability solutions.
Angie Walker, Global Head of Banking and Capital Markets at Chainlink Labs stated, “We expect this will not only provide stablecoin users with real-time visibility into asset reserves but also elevate the utility of the stablecoin as a secure payment vehicle and institutional trading instrument in digital asset markets.”
The alliance will provide tools to verify stablecoin collateral on chain using proof of reserves, ensuring greater transparency and helping maintain stablecoins’ value in circulation. Additionally, the new technology will facilitate data transfer and value across both public and private blockchains, utilizing an improved cross-chain infrastructure.
