Chainlink March 2026 Recap: Amundi, Coinbase, and CCIP Drive Institutional Blockchain Adoption

TLDR:

• Amundi and Spiko launched SAFO, a Chainlink-powered tokenized money market fund on Ethereum and Stellar.
• Coinbase adopted Chainlink DataLink to publish institutional-grade exchange data onchain for the first time.
• Chainlink CCIP is now bridging over $5 billion in cbBTC from Base to Monad’s high-throughput DeFi markets.
• ADI Foundation integrated CCIP to support DDSC, a UAE Central Bank-licensed dirham-backed stablecoin on ADI Chain.

Chainlink closed March 2026 with major integrations across tokenized assets, cross-chain infrastructure, and institutional data services.

Amundi, Europe’s largest asset manager, partnered with Spiko to launch a Chainlink-powered tokenized money market fund.

Coinbase added DataLink to its growing suite of Chainlink tools for the first time. CCIP extended its bridging capabilities to Monad’s DeFi ecosystem during the same period.

These developments collectively advance Chainlink’s infrastructure presence across global institutional and DeFi markets.

Chainlink Powers Tokenized Funds and Institutional Data

Amundi manages €2.3 trillion in assets and partnered with Spiko to launch SAFO on Ethereum and Stellar. The fund uses fully collateralized total return swaps to provide stable, high-yield overnight liquidity for institutional users. Chainlink supplies real-time NAV and reserve data to maintain full transparency for the fund onchain.

SAFO targets institutional investors, corporate treasuries, and collateral management operations. It supports 24/7 transfers and near-instant settlement, removing friction from traditional fund infrastructure.

The fund also offers real-time transparency, standing out as a notable tokenized money market product in Europe this year.

Coinbase adopted Chainlink’s DataLink service to publish premium exchange data onchain for the first time. This data underpins billions in daily trading activity and is now directly available to DeFi protocols.

New onchain markets for derivatives, RWAs, perpetuals, and structured products can now use this institutional-grade data.

Coinbase already verifies over $4.6 billion in BTC reserves using Chainlink Proof of Reserve. The firm also uses CCIP as its exclusive cross-chain bridging solution.

Adding DataLink makes Coinbase one of the most comprehensive institutional integrations in the Chainlink ecosystem.

CCIP Bridges cbBTC to Monad and Supports UAE’s Dirham Stablecoin

Chainlink’s CCIP is now bridging cbBTC from @base to Monad’s (@Monad) DeFi ecosystem using institutional-grade security.

Over $5 billion in cbBTC is currently flowing into Monad’s high-throughput markets through this bridge. Applications including Curvance and Neverland have already launched cbBTC markets on Monad.

Abu Dhabi’s ADI Foundation integrated CCIP as the canonical cross-chain infrastructure for ADI Chain. ADI Chain hosts DDSC, a 1:1 dirham-backed stablecoin developed by IHC and First Abu Dhabi Bank. The Central Bank of the UAE has licensed DDSC for institutional payments and cross-border settlements.

Jupiter Exchange, Solana’s largest DEX with $2.8 billion in TVL, integrated Chainlink Data Streams in March. The integration powers Jupiter’s new binary prediction markets across sports, crypto, politics, e-sports, and economics. Data Streams provides fast, pull-based oracle data to enable real-world event trading on the platform.

GMX launched ultra-fast perpetual markets on MegaETH using Chainlink Data Streams for real-time oracle pricing.

MegaETH’s 10-millisecond block times and Chainlink’s pull-based solution combine to deliver rapid execution and lower liquidation risk. Venus Protocol also listed XAUm, Asia’s leading tokenized gold product, on BNB Chain using Chainlink SmartData.
