From tokenized T-bills to fully-backed digital dollars, stablecoins represent a wave of trillions of dollars of real-world assets (RWAs) coming onchain. However, turning an offchain asset into a usable, trusted, and composable onchain asset requires more than minting a token.
Here’s how the Chainlink stack enables stablecoin adoption at scale:
1️⃣ Origination begins offchain.
A regulated financial institution originates the asset—whether that’s a U.S. T-bill, fiat currency reserve, or another collateralized financial instrument.
2️⃣ Chainlink Proof of Reserve enhances its transparency.
Through highly reliable infrastructure, Chainlink verifies that the underlying assets and composition backing a stablecoin are real, and fully backed 1:1 with collateral, all in near real-time.
3️⃣ Stablecoin issuers mint.
Protocols like Elixir, Falcon Finance, GHO, Maple Finance, and OpenEden mint stablecoins and yield-bearing tokens that reflect real-world value onchain.
4️⃣ Stablecoins integrate with DeFi.
Thanks to the Chainlink data standard, these assets can be securely integrated into top DeFi protocols like Aave, Compound, Euler, Kamino, Jupiter, and more. Chainlink enables highly accurate market pricing, efficient liquidity, and composability at scale.
5️⃣ Cross-chain adoption via Chainlink CCIP.
To capture liquidity across ecosystems, stablecoins need to be interoperable across chains. Chainlink CCIP provides the programmable, battle-tested infrastructure for stablecoins to be transferred seamlessly across chains—with built-in features like rate limits, access control, and token transfer authentication.
Chainlink isn’t just a part of the stablecoin scalability stack—it is the stack.
Chainlink is the invisible infrastructure that turns tokenized promises into composable digital assets.
Any chain, any asset, one standard.
