On May 7, the crypto oracle solutions provider announced that RD Technologies was integrating Chainlink CCIP and Proof of Reserve to power its Hong Kong dollar stablecoin.
Chainlinkās Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol will be integrated to enable secure and reliable cross-chain transfers of HKDR and easier access to the new stablecoin.
Additionally, the firm is also adopting Chainlinkās Proof of Reserve (PoR) to help provide reliable on-chain verification of HKDRās reserve backing, according to the announcement.
The collaboration aims to enable more businesses and merchants to settle payments in HKDR, enjoy faster and cheaper cross-border payments, and enable reliable transfer of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) using the stablecoin.
The Hong Kong-based fintech firm stated it had made agreements with āseveral globally renowned cross-border payments, virtual assets, and wealth management playersā to use the HKDR for cross-border payments.
RD Technologies CEO Rita Liu said that the āintegration will help facilitate the adoption of HKDR in cross-border payments, real-world assets tokenization, and other on-chain finance applications.ā It will also help facilitate the development of Hong Kong as a global Web 3 and virtual assets hub, she added.
Colin Cunningham, Head of RWA and Alliances at Chainlink Labs, added:
Chainlink CCIP allows smart contracts to securely access data from external systems to facilitate trustless data connectivity between blockchains.
In April, Chainlink launched a new CCIP-powered cross-chain bridge app called āTransporterā to improve token transfer safety.
On May 6, Chainlinkās adoption update revealed that there were seven integrations of four Chainlink services across three different chains: Arbitrum, BNB Chain, and Polygon.
The networkās native token, LINK, did not react to the news, however. The asset had dropped 2% on the day in a decline to $14.28 at the time of writing amid a broader altcoin market retreat.
LINK prices have been weak recently, having lost almost 30% over the past month as crypto markets corrected from their mid-March highs.
LINK remains down 73% from its May 2021 all-time high of $52.70 and has failed to gain much traction in 2024 despite Bitcoin hitting a new all-time high.
However, analysts have predicted that the altseason is just around the corner when this asset usually performs well.
