A significant step forward for Edel. We're proud to announce our partnership with @Anchorage, a leading institutional digital asset custody provider. Institutional custody. Private markets. On-chain credit. The foundations of a new financial market are coming together on @CantonNetwork.

Meaningful systemic impact cannot be achieved in isolation. FASE is built on radical cross-sector cooperation, launching alongside a Founding Stakeholders Group that will steer, fund, and deliver our on-the-ground programs.

tomorrow's @Anchorage vibestream episode is called "general counsel" because i have two actual lawyers on and i thought it was hilarious sheryl mccabe & @McDermottLaw partner nishi gupta join to talk crypto custody liability & more. 12 ET on X it'll work this week I swear

Introducing Chainlink CustodySync, a new solution that lets qualified custodians give their institutional clients access to DeFi lending markets, all while assets remain securely in custody. With @Anchorage as the official launch partner, together we’re establishing a new standard for institutional DeFi. CustodySync keeps custody and lending systems in sync across the full lifecycle of a loan: → For custodians: faster time to market and lower operational overhead, with custodian-managed controls → For lending markets: independent, verifiable data and a consistent risk framework → For institutions: passive capital becomes productive capital More than $80 billion sits in DeFi lending markets. Meanwhile, the roughly $700 billion in digital assets under custody is less than 0.5% of all $250 trillion in traditional assets under custody. The opportunity to connect traditional institutional capital to onchain finance remains vast. Large institutions have lacked a secure way of accessing these markets. Regulations require many of them to keep their digital assets with a qualified custodian, a firm that meets specific requirements for holding assets on behalf of clients, and custody systems were never built for DeFi. Even when custody and lending systems are connected, inconsistent loan valuations can trigger premature liquidation or delayed liquidations, exposing borrowers and lenders to significant financial risk. @Anchorage, home to the first federally chartered digital asset bank in the U.S., is the first qualified custodian to adopt CustodySync, connecting its institutional clients to DeFi lending markets while their assets remain in regulated custody. Institutional capital no longer has to choose between the security of custody and the liquidity of DeFi. With Chainlink, it gets both.

“We’ve been the largest institutional player in DeFi… what we do differently is we do it with a qualified custodian.” I discussed our first of-its-kind deployment with @Anchorage and how we’re setting new standards for onchain finance on @CryptoAmerica_

Two OG’s on stage at @money2020 🇺🇸 Takeaways: ◼️AI agents can't be trusted to follow the rules. So build the rules into the money. ◼️ Agents need sophisticated wallet infra, not just tokenized money. ◼️ Every wallet traces back to an owner. Identity will be required. ◼️ The hard part is the UX of trust: how we authorize and prove what an agent is allowed to do.
