Chainlink gains boost as DTCC confirms $28B oracle integration deal
DTSS сonfirms зartnership with Chainlink
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), which processes trillions of dollars in transactions daily, has announced a partnership with Chainlink Labs just one week after joining the ERC3643 Association — a move that could boost the price of LINK.
Regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), DTCC was among the first U.S. financial authorities to embrace blockchain technology, having piloted several on-chain initiatives for securities transactions. These include testing the settlement of tokenized U.S. Treasury bills on the Canton Network and piloting the tokenization of private assets on an Avalanche (AVAX) subnet.
In February, the clearinghouse launched ComposerX — a platform designed to streamline token creation and settlement for U.S. regulated financial institutions.
On March 20, 2025, DTCC announced its membership in the ERC3643 Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the adoption of the ERC3643 token standard, aimed at promoting the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs).
“DTCC will help lead the future of tokenization and support scaled institutional adoption,” said Dennis O’Connell, President of the ERC3643 Association.
Chainlink Labs, the developer of the decentralized oracle network, already has a working relationship with DTCC and has processed asset transactions worth over $28 billion. Following DTCC’s entry into the ERC3643 Association, the corporation confirmed an official collaboration format with Chainlink — a significant milestone for the oracle network.
Opportunity to earn on the scale of tokenization
According to The Coin Republic, DTCC processes securities worth $2.4 quadrillion annually. The tokenization of such operations presents a major opportunity not only for Ethereum’s ERC-3643 standard — also known as the T-REX protocol — but also for Chainlink’s infrastructure.
Ultimately, the impact will depend on the scale of adoption. Over the past week, LINK has risen by more than 4% and, at the time of writing, is trading at $14.80, partially recovering from recent losses.

Earlier in March, LINK traded at $17.50, and in late December, it surpassed the $29 mark.
As we wrote, the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), an international financial center, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Chainlink to explore blockchain regulation, tokenization, and emerging technologies.
