In a recent announcement , SBI Digital Markets — the digital asset arm of Japan’s SBI Group — confirmed that Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) will be the exclusive network powering cross-chain connections across its institutional tokenization platform. The move aims to enable asset issuance, settlement, and secondary market trading across multiple blockchain environments, including both public and permissioned blockchains.
Building a cross-chain digital asset hub
The partnership marks the next phase in SBI Digital Markets’ development of a multi-network tokenized finance ecosystem. Instead of limiting tokenized securities to a single chain, the platform will allow institutions to issue and manage assets across several blockchains while still operating under regulated standards.
This collaboration expands on pilot work completed under Project Guardian, a Monetary Authority of Singapore-backed initiative that explores secure blockchain applications in traditional financial markets. During the pilot, Chainlink, UBS Asset Management, and SBI Digital Markets demonstrated automated fund administration processes using shared blockchain workflows.
With CCIP’s Private Transactions feature, SBI plans to support discreet cross-border asset transfers — covering tokenized funds, real-world assets, and stablecoins — without exposing trade or settlement data to public mempools.
Regulated tokenization with built-in compliance controls
SBI Digital Markets is also evaluating Chainlink’s Automated Compliance Engine, a policy-enforcement layer that applies jurisdiction-specific rules directly to on-chain transactions. This would enable tokenized assets to move between regulated markets while automatically respecting legal and geographic restrictions — a core requirement for institutional adoption.
Long-term, the goal is to establish a global regulated tokenization hub that links banks, custodians, asset managers, and crypto-native liquidity platforms. Chainlink provides the technical interoperability standards, while SBI Digital Markets oversees policy alignment and commercial rollout.
Executives on both sides say the collaboration reflects a clear shift in Asia and Europe toward regulated, cross-chain digital securities markets, where blockchain improves efficiency without compromising compliance.

The AI boom may follow the path of the 19th-century railway bubble, and builders may not be the ultimate winners
Goldman Sachs analyst Bobby Molavi compared the current situation to the 19th-century British railway mania: 500 companies spent more than the nation's annual income building 8,000 miles of railway, with most early investors losing out, while the real beneficiaries were the later "passengers." He pointed out that the current AI craze is driven by both debt and momentum, and that the S&P 500’s forward P/E ratio of 18x is only "a bit cheaper." Whether the builders can retain value is uncertain, and history does not offer an optimistic answer.
If Anthropic's IPO goes smoothly and the stock price rises next week, then everything remains the same for AI. Otherwise, some companies will go bankrupt.
The shrinking valuations of two major giants have triggered a chain reaction—investors are adopting more conservative revenue multiples for AI startups and are directly halting high-valuation financing for companies with zero revenue. Multiple venture capital firms have advised their portfolio companies to lower valuation expectations and to quickly build up cash reserves. Market participants warn that the outcome of Anthropic’s IPO will be a barometer for the industry: if successful, the boom will continue; if it fails, some companies may face elimination.

Corning (GLW.US) receives initial "Buy" rating from Jefferies! AI factories driving a fiber optic rush, with a potential global supply gap of up to 30%
For Corning, the recent profit growth mainly comes from the expansion of AI clusters. As the number of optical links crossing cabinets and campuses increases, customers need to deploy more optical fibers within limited conduit and cabinet space, thus driving demand for high-density optical cables and connection systems.
