Mountain Protocol, the issuer of the USDM stablecoin, announced an integration of Chainlink CCIP. This cross-chain interoperability platform aims to increase user security and usability.

However, Chainlink’s own LINK token has stagnated recently despite a series of prominent CCIP integrations.

Mountain’s Deal with Chainlink

Mountain Protocol, the issuer of stablecoin USDM, announced a new integration with Chainlink CCIP. This industry standard for cross-chain interoperability will facilitate smooth and secure token transfers on participating platforms, including prominent chains like Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Polygon POS.

The method of processing these cross-chain transactions was described in detail via a press release shared with BeInCrypto. To summarize it briefly, the USDM tokens are not, strictly speaking, “transferred.” Instead, tokens are burned on one end and minted on the other, and Chainlink’s independent nodes transmit secure data events:

“This process starts by burning the required amount of USDM… which triggers an event that’s picked up by CCIP Relayers and transmitted cross-chain. This event is then securely transmitted through Chainlink’s network, which ensures accurate… delivery. Once the event reaches the destination chain, it triggers the minting of new USDM tokens,” the press release stated.

As of late, Chainlink has been on a spree of integrating various protocols into CCIP. It integrated with Sonic in early September, yet this did not have a noticeable impact on its LINK token. However, this did not deter Chainlink, which integrated Sony’s Soneium a week later. In October, the firm has already integrated multiple new projects.

Still, despite these expansions, LINK’s value is showing bearish momentum and a possible death cross. Although Chainlink has gathered a great deal of positive press from these business deals, the LINK token’s greatest hope is apparently in whale accumulation. Nevertheless, these CCIP expansions will still generate positive outcomes for Chainlink.

Mountain Protocol and their USDM token, for their part, have been growing in prominence lately. For example, Ethena chose USDM last week as one of four assets in their $46.6 million RWA Reserve Fund.
