Chainlink Partners With SBI Group to Advance Tokenized Assets

Chainlink and SBI Group have established a strategic partnership to develop tokenized asset solutions for Japanese financial institutions. The collaboration focuses on integrating Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network with SBI’s banking infrastructure to support tokenized money market funds (MMFs) and stablecoins on blockchain.

SBI’s tokenized MMF initiative will enable institutional investors to subscribe to fund shares using digital tokens, with on-chain records secured by Chainlink oracles. Real-time net asset value (NAV) and pricing data will be transmitted on-chain, leveraging Chainlink’s external adapters and secure hardware integrations. This aims to increase transparency and reduce settlement times compared with traditional systems.

The partnership will also explore stablecoin frameworks, utilizing local fiat-backed tokens to facilitate cross-border payments and treasury management. Chainlink’s Data Streams and Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) will ensure reliable data feeds across multiple blockchains. Proof of reserves and automated auditing mechanisms will be implemented to guarantee asset backing and regulatory compliance.

Industry participants view this alliance as a significant step toward mainstream adoption. SBI’s established relationships with Japanese regulators and banking networks combined with Chainlink’s robust oracle infrastructure could set a precedent for tokenized financial products in Asia. Potential use cases include corporate treasury solutions, peer-to-peer lending, and supply chain finance.

Roadmap milestones include a pilot launch in Q4 2025, followed by gradual expansion of product offerings through 2026. The partnership underscores growing institutional interest in blockchain-based asset tokenization and highlights Chainlink’s expanding footprint in the traditional finance sector.
