Superstate, an asset manager, integrated Chainlink’s infrastructure into its Superstate Short Duration US Government Securities Fund (USTB). This strategic partnership is designed to increase the transparency and utility of USTB, a tokenized treasury fund, according to a press release shared with BSCN.
Robert Leshner, CEO and co-founder of Superstate, emphasized the importance of reliable on-chain data for the tokenized asset market. He stated:
“Asset tokenization improves efficiency, programmability and transparency, but requires reliable on-chain data to unlock DeFi and automation use cases. Our integration with Chainlink provides transparent data to our investors, allowing us to focus more on our core business. “
By leveraging Chainlink’s decentralized oracle technology, Superstate can now bring real-time net asset value (NAV) data to the chain, a critical step toward advancing the utility and transparency of tokenized assets.
Chainlink’s role in the integration
Chainlink ensures that NAV data for the USTB tokenized fund can be brought onto the chain securely. NAV data is critical in determining the value of both traditional and tokenized funds.
For USTB, this data is calculated off-chain by NAV Fund Services and Superstate, and then reported securely on-chain via Chainlink’s infrastructure. This process ensures that the data is accurate, transparent and available in real time to investors and other market participants.
Improving transparency with Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve
In the coming months, Superstate plans to further integrate Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve (PoR) technology.
PoR is a powerful tool that enables on-chain verification of assets under management (AUM) data. This technology allows investors to independently verify the collateral of the assets backing the USTB fund, increasing confidence and security.
Chainlink’s growing role in the tokenized asset economy
Chainlink’s partnership with Superstate is part of its broader strategy to support the growth of the tokenized asset economy.
For example, recently 21Shares US LLC, a subsidiary of 21Shares AG, integrated Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve on Ethereum’s mainnet to increase transparency of its Core Ethereum ETF (CETH). This integration provides clear visibility into the Ethereum reserves backing the ETF, increasing investor confidence.
Similarly, Bancolombia Group-backed Wenia, Columbia’s largest bank, last July partnered with Chainlink to improve the transparency and security of its stablecoin, COPW, by integrating Chainlink’s PoR technology.
