- The technical pilot using Chainlink DTA and CRE demonstrates fully automated subscription, redemption, and compliance processes executed through smart contract–to–smart contract interactions.
- The initiative comes as institutional demand for standardized, compliant tokenization infrastructure accelerates, with Chainlink emerging as a preferred choice.
DigiFT has released a new whitepaper highlighting a live, production-ready tokenized fund workflow built by leveraging the Chainlink Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) technical standard and Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE).
The initiative features collaboration between Chainlink, UBS, and DigiFT, marking a significant step in bringing regulated fund operations on-chain.
Chainlink, UBS Featured in DigiFT Whitepaper for Tokenized Fund Workflow
Developed within Hong Kong Cyberport’s digital asset initiative, DigiFT’s tokenized fund workflow leverages Chainlink infrastructure to automate and securely execute on-chain fund subscription and redemption processes. CRE is used to run DTA-enabled smart contracts that handle compliant transaction recordkeeping.
The DTA standard, built on CRE, provides a comprehensive framework allowing transfer agents and fund administrators to migrate core processes on-chain. The framework is designed to support tokenized assets at scale while maintaining compliance with existing regulatory requirements.
As per the latest CNF report, Chainlink has seen a sharp surge in tokenized asset activity, reaching $322.3 billion. The milestone places Chainlink at the center of the rapidly expanding tokenization sector, which continues to attract major financial institutions, including J.P. Morgan and Fidelity.
As institutional participation grows, firms have sought unified standards for data, execution, and privacy in tokenized markets. In response, Chainlink has expanded its infrastructure offerings to meet these requirements and support large-scale institutional adoption.
Live, Regulated Workflow with UBS and DigiFT
DigiFT, UBS, and Chainlink have completed a technical pilot for the first time, demonstrating fully automated fund operations through smart contract–to–smart contract (S2S) interactions within a regulated environment.
The pilot, built on Chainlink’s Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) technical standard, showcases how subscription, redemption, and compliance workflows can be executed programmatically on-chain.
According to the participants, the system delivers real-time transparency and operational efficiency while maintaining full alignment with regulatory requirements.
The whitepaper demonstrates how fully compliant on-chain finance can be executed in practice. It also offers a model for regulated tokenized asset infrastructure going forward. Chainlink has been emerging as the top choice among global financial giants for tokenized fund flows.
As mentioned in our previous story, S&P Dow Jones Indices and Dinari have chosen Chainlink as the oracle provider to supply real-time pricing data on Avalanche for the upcoming S&P Digital Markets 50 Index. The index is scheduled for launch in the fourth quarter of 2025.
In a similar development, tokenization platform Securitize, with over $4 billion in on-chain tokenized securities issued, has integrated Chainlink’s NAVLink data standard and NAV oracle aggregator into the Aave Horizon market.
