Chainlink, DTCC complete Smart NAV pilot
The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) announced on Thursday that it had successfully completed a pilot program dubbed “Smart NAV”.
Smart NAV is an initiative that aims at a standardized method of delivering funds’ Net Asset Value (NAV) onchain.
For this goal, the pilot project tapped into DTCC’s digital asset capabilities and Chainlink’s cross-chain interoperability protocol (CCIP) to bring trusted data on-chain.
This particular pilot involved ten major financial institutions, including BNY Mellon, American Century Investments, Edward Jones, Franklin Templeton, Invesco, JPMorgan, MFS Investment Management, Mid Atlantic Trust and State Street.
Chainlink price surges 20%
Chainlink price reacted higher following the news, surging by more than 20% to hit highs of $16.62. The 24-hour trading volume rose 251% to above $1.2 billion.
This positive reaction to the news comes amid a growing institutional presence in the tokenization industry, with most of the projects leveraging Chainlink’s CCIP.
So far, the real-world assets (RWA) train has included a major program by the world’s leading asset manager BlackRock.
