SBI Digital Markets (SBIDM), the digital asset unit of Japan’s SBI Group, will adopt Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) as its exclusive infrastructure for the issuance and management of tokenized assets.
The integration aims to connect public and private networks operating in traditional finance with DeFi solutions, creating an interoperable and regulated institutional framework.
SBIDM will manage tokenized assets with built-in privacy and compliance support. Through CCIP Private Transactions, the platform will be able to transfer assets across blockchains without exposing sensitive information such as transaction amounts, counterparties, or settlement instructions. Chainlink will serve as the core interoperability provider for SBI Digital Markets, which is preparing to expand into tokenized markets on a global scale.
Both companies previously collaborated with UBS Asset Management under Singapore’s Monetary Authority-led Project Guardian. That pilot automated fund administration processes using smart contracts, proving the feasibility of integrating blockchain technology into traditional asset management.
Chainlink Continues Building Institutional-Grade Infrastructure
In addition to CCIP, SBI Digital Markets is evaluating Chainlink’s Automated Compliance Engine (ACE) to apply dynamic, policy-based compliance rules to onchain transactions. With these tools, the company plans to evolve from a tokenized asset issuer into a comprehensive digital asset hub that supports issuance, distribution, settlement, and secondary market trading of tokenized securities backed by digital cash.
Chainlink continues to expand and develop new technologies. It recently launched the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) and the Confidential Compute (CC) module. The former connects all core ecosystem services, while the latter, scheduled for 2026, will add a private execution layer for enterprise smart contracts.
With over $78 billion in assets under management and a presence in Asia and Europe, SBI Digital Markets aims to position its infrastructure as a convergence point between traditional financial systems and the emerging tokenized asset market, with Chainlink serving as the backbone for interoperability, privacy, and compliance.
