Details
- Chainlink has launched the Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) technical standard, designed to help transfer agents and fund administrators expand their operations onchain and maintain regulatory compliance for tokenized assets.
- The standard is now live in production, with UBS Asset Management's uMINT tokenized money market fund as its inaugural adopter, signaling significant institutional engagement.
- DTA offers real-time processing for fund subscriptions and redemptions, automated compliance enforcement, cross-chain interoperability, and seamless integration with existing fiat settlement rails, including Swift messaging.
- It is built on the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), incorporating the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and NAVLink Feeds to ensure precise pricing and automated creation of an onchain golden record with each transaction.
- The technology was showcased during Sergey Nazarov's presentation at Sibos 2025, where Chainlink also announced partnerships with 24 leading financial institutions, including Swift, DTCC, and Euroclear, as part of global corporate actions efforts.
Impact
Chainlink’s DTA standard marks a pivotal step toward the blockchain transformation of the $100 trillion fund industry. The adoption by UBS underscores mounting institutional interest in efficient, compliant, tokenized fund management. As the platform bridges traditional and digital infrastructure with cross-chain and regulatory capabilities, it could catalyze broader industry adoption of onchain asset operations.
