๐ฅHot off the press! The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) just completed a pilot project with blockchain oracle Chainlink and major U.S. financial institutions. The goal? Accelerate the tokenization of funds! ๐
The project, dubbed Smart NAV, aimed to standardize the process of bringing and disseminating net asset value (NAV) data of funds across any blockchain using Chainlink's interoperability protocol CCIP. Big names like JPMorgan, BNY Mellon, and U.S. Bank were in on the action.
DTCC found that by delivering structured data on-chain and creating standard roles and processes, foundational data could be embedded into a multitude of on-chain use cases, such as tokenized funds and 'bulk consumer' smart contracts.
This comes as tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) like bonds, funds, and other traditional investments is heating up as a hot use case for blockchain tech. Financial heavyweights like BlackRock, Citi, and HSBC are already in the ring.
What's your take on this? Will tokenization be the next big thing in finance? Let's chat in the comments! ๐จ๏ธ #Blockchain #Tokenization #Finance
