Stellar taps Chainlink solutions to power next-gen DeFi applications

2 min read

Payments-focused blockchain platform Stellar plans to leverage oracle network Chainlink’s solutions, including data standards and cross-chain interoperability protocol, to boost decentralized finance traction on the blockchain network.

Summary
  • Stellar is integrating Chainlink to tap into Data Feeds, Data Streams, and the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol.
  • Developers and institutions will benefit from the same solutions powering over $100 billion in total value locked in DeFi.
  • Integration is set to also bolster real-world asset tokenization on the public blockchain.

Stellar will join the Chainlink Scale program and integrate Chainlink’s key solutions, including Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, Data Feeds, and Data Streams, according to a press release.

What does this bring to Stellar?

The integration will see developers and institutions tap into trusted data and cross-chain interoperability as they build decentralized applications on Stellar (XLM). With Chainlink (LINK), Stellar hopes to expand its ecosystem across the burgeoning real-world asset and decentralized finance markets. 

The move to collaborate comes as tokenized treasuries, RWA payments and overall DeFi resurgence highlight the industry’s growing traction amid regulatory shifts.

Specific benefits that come to XLM as a result of this integration include battle-tested security via CCIP’s consensus layer. This solution, powered by Chainlink Decentralized Oracle Network, has helped secure over $100 billion in total volume locked across DeFi.

CCIP gives developers production-ready interoperability.

Developers and institutions can also tap into token-agnostic transfers and programmable token transfers among others. Chainlink’s data standards will unlock DeFi on the XLM network.

XLM and LINK tokens saw slight gains amid the news and as the broader crypto market looked to bounce following this week’s sell-off.

SEC clears framework for fast-tracked crypto ETF listings

The post SEC clears framework for fast-tracked crypto ETF listings appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Securities and Exchange Commission has approved new generic listing standards for spot crypto exchange-traded funds, clearing the way for faster approvals. Summary SEC has greenlighted new generic listing standards for spot crypto ETFs. Rule change eliminates lengthy case-by-case approvals, aligning crypto ETFs with commodity funds. Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund and Bitcoin ETF options also gain approval. The U.S. SEC has approved new generic listing standards that will allow exchanges to fast-track spot crypto ETFs, marking a pivotal shift in U.S. digital asset regulation. According to a Sept. 17 press release, the SEC voted to approve rule changes from Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, and Cboe BZX, enabling them to list and trade commodity-based trust shares, including those holding spot digital assets, without submitting individual proposals for each product. A streamlined path for crypto ETFs Under the new rules, an ETF can be listed without SEC sign-off if its underlying asset trades on a market with surveillance-sharing agreements, has active CFTC-regulated futures contracts for at least six months, or already represents at least 40% of an existing listed ETF. This brings crypto ETFs in line with traditional commodity-based funds under Rule 6c-11, eliminating a process that could take up to 240 days. SEC chair Paul Atkins said the move was designed to “maximize investor choice and foster innovation” while ensuring the U.S. remains the leading market for digital assets. Jamie Selway, director of the division of trading and markets, called the framework “a rational, rules-based approach” that balances access with investor protection. First products already approved Alongside the new standards, the SEC cleared the listing of the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, which tracks spot assets based on the CoinDesk 5 Index. It also approved trading of options tied to the Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index and its mini version, with…
