šŸ”—šŸ¦ CHAINLINK POWERS BOTTOMLINE’S ON-CHAIN PAYMENT PLATFORM
Chainlink and payments provider Bottomline have launched Global Pay Connect, a platform designed to help financial institutions connect existing payment infrastructure with blockchain-based payment networks.
šŸ“Š KEY DEVELOPMENTS:
• Global Pay Connect targets 600+ banks
• Bottomline has entered a Strategic Collaboration Agreement with Chainlink
• Chainlink’s CCIP helps connect payment infrastructure with blockchain networks
• Chainlink CRE supports coordination of on-chain and off-chain payment workflows
• Banks can access emerging blockchain payment rails through existing infrastructure
• Bottomline processes more than $16 trillion in payments annually
šŸ”Ž WHY IT MATTERS:
The collaboration could make it easier for traditional financial institutions to interact with on-chain payment networks without rebuilding their existing payment infrastructure.
šŸ“ˆ MARKET IMPACT:
This is a positive development for Chainlink’s institutional adoption and blockchain-payment utility. However, the partnership does not guarantee a rise in LINK’s price, and the direct token-price impact remains uncertain.
