- The technical pilot using Chainlink DTA and CRE demonstrates fully automated subscription, redemption and compliance processes executed through smart contract-to-smart contract interactions.
- The initiative comes as institutional demand for standardized, compliant tokenization infrastructure accelerates, with Chainlink emerging as the preferred choice.
DigiFT has released a new whitepaper highlighting a live, production-ready tokenized fund workflow built using the Chainlink Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) and Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) technical standards.
The initiative involves a partnership between Chainlink, UBS and DigiFT, marking an important step in bringing regulated fund transactions on-chain.
Chainlink, UBS included in DigiFT Whitepaper for tokenized fund workflow
Developed within Hong Kong Cyberport’s digital assets initiative, DigiFT’s tokenized fund workflow leverages Chainlink infrastructure to automate and securely execute on-chain fund subscription and redemption processes. CRE is used to run DTA-compliant smart contracts that handle compliant transaction recording.
The DTA standard, built on CRE, provides a comprehensive framework that allows transfer agents and fund managers to migrate core processes on-chain. The framework is designed to support tokenized assets at scale while maintaining compliance with existing regulatory requirements.
According to the latest CNF report, Chainlink has seen a sharp increase in tokenized asset activity, reaching $322.3 billion. This milestone puts Chainlink at the center of the fast-growing tokenization sector, which continues to attract major financial institutions including JP Morgan and Fidelity.
As institutional participation grows, companies have sought uniform standards for data, execution and privacy in tokenized markets. In response, Chainlink has expanded its infrastructure offering to meet these requirements and support large-scale institutional adoption.
Live, regulated workflow with UBS and DigiFT
DigiFT, UBS and Chainlink have completed a first-ever technical pilot, demonstrating fully automated fund operations via smart contract-to-smart contract (S2S) interactions within a regulated environment.
The pilot, built on Chainlink’s Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) technical standard, demonstrates how subscription, redemption, and compliance workflows can be executed programmatically on-chain.
According to participants, the system delivers real-time transparency and operational efficiency, while remaining fully compliant with regulatory requirements.
The whitepaper shows how fully compliant on-chain financing can be implemented in practice. It also provides a model for regulated tokenized asset infrastructure in the future. Chainlink has become the top choice among global financial giants for tokenized fund flows.
As mentioned in our previous story, S&P Dow Jones Indices and Dinari have selected Chainlink as the oracle provider to provide real-time price data on Avalanche for the upcoming S&P Digital Markets 50 Index. The index is expected to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2025.
In a similar development, tokenization platform Securitize, with more than $4 billion in on-chain tokenized securities issued, has integrated Chainlink’s NAVLink data standard and NAV oracle aggregator into the Aave Horizon market.
