Chainlink and Hyperliquid Soar as Infosys Partnership Unleashes Institutional On-Chain Finance
Chainlink (LINKUSD) and Hyperliquid are making headlines this week, thanks to significant partnerships and listings. On Thursday, Chainlink announced a strategic partnership with Infosys, a $40 billion global IT firm that supports banking infrastructure for over 1.7 billion customer accounts worldwide.
The deal will accelerate institutional on-chain finance by standardizing adoption across Chainlink's full platform stack: CCIP, CRE, ACE, and more.
Andrew McCormick, Head of Institutional at Chainlink, pointed out that Wall Street's biggest institutions are moving faster than expected on tokenization. He cited the company's close work with the DTCC, which plans to launch a collateral app chain in Q4 using Chainlink's runtime environment for margin and loan purposes.
McCormick estimated that even 1% tokenization of the $150 trillion overall equities market would move it from roughly $3 billion to $1.5 trillion.
