- Chainlink is expanding its RWA influence to project Guardian through a new ANZ partnership.
- The CCIP protocol remains the go-to tool in the Chainlink tokenization journey.
Decentralized Oracle platform Chainlink (LINK) has joined forces with ANZ, a leading Australian bank with over $1 trillion in Assets Under Management (AUMN). According to the announcement, the partnership aims to support cross-chain Real-Word Assets (RWAs) tokenization in the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) Project Guardian.
Chainlink’s Partnership With ANZ Bank
ANZ Bank will leverage Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to facilitate secure and efficient cross-chain trading and settlement of tokenized assets. Notably, the latest partnership is with ADDX, an investment firm based in Singapore. Their collaboration will see ANZ explore interoperability between private blockchains to exchange tokenized RWAs, such as commercial paper.

As a result, ANZ can help speed up the development of a stable and secure digital asset ecosystem in Singapore. This will be essential to meeting the future needs of its customers across the region.
Angel Dobson, ANZ Banking Services Lead, commented, “Tokenised asset markets are highly fragmented, with tokenized assets and related services developed across different blockchains that are not natively interoperable.
“We are pleased to join Project Guardian and look forward to demonstrating how our emerging Digital Assets capabilities, such as A$DC, can be used to support our customers to move goods and capital across the region,” Dobson emphasized.
Since 2022, Project Guardian has encouraged collaboration between policymakers and the financial industry. Participants in the project seek to improve the liquidity and efficiency of financial markets through asset tokenization.
As CNF mentioned earlier, Project Guardian represents MAS’s deliberate effort to position Singapore at the forefront of the digital finance revolution. Last year, MAS released a whitepaper, a major part of Project Guardian, which launched five new pilot projects focused on exploring the potential of asset tokenization.
Chainlink: A Leading RWA Tokenization Influencer
A recent report from crypto management firm 21.c0 reveals the tokenization of RWAs could explode to $10 trillion by 2030. Additionally, Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov foresees trillions of dollars flowing into Web3 in the next few years, supercharged by RWA tokenization.
According to a recent CNF article, Chainlink has been at the forefront of the tokenization wave, working with over 40 institutions globally.
Chainlink’s Niki Ariyasinghe claims asset tokenization will be the biggest factor behind blockchain adoption and utilization in the next few years. He highlighted Citibank, HSBC, and Goldman Sachs as some banks pioneering the tokenization industry.
The CCIP is at the forefront of Chainlink’s tokenization journey. This protocol provides a uniform interface for dApps and Web3 entrepreneurs to meet cross-chain requirements, such as token transfers and arbitrary messaging.
