Decentralized oracle service, Chainlink, has partnered with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) to explore the use of the oracle’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). The case study demonstrated that ANZ-issued stablecoins could be transferred cross-chain via CCIP to purchase nature-based assets. According to a paper released by Chainlink Labs and ANZ, CCIP could drive the adoption of tokenized assets by institutions. This collaboration follows SWIFT’s announcement that it was testing blockchain interoperability with financial institutions on the Chainlink network.
Chainlink creator, Sergey Nazarov, stated in an interview that the collaboration with SWIFT was successful, achieving their key goals. They were able to use SWIFT messages to initiate blockchain events through CCIP and connect multiple private bank chains to each other and public chains for decentralized finance transactions. This partnership with ANZ demonstrates Chainlink’s potential to simplify the user experience of interacting with digital assets for financial institutions.
