SBI Group, one of Japan’s largest financial giants with over $200 billion in assets, has announced a major partnership with Chainlink, the leading oracle network in blockchain. The collaboration begins in Japan, known for its advanced financial system, and is expected to expand into global markets.

A survey by SBI Digital Asset Holdings recently showed that 76% of institutions are interested in tokenized securities. However, many hesitate due to weak infrastructure. The SBI–Chainlink partnership aims to solve this by building secure and reliable systems that allow institutions to confidently step into the world of digital assets.

Tokenized Assets Take the Lead

The first focus will be on tokenizing real-world assets like real estate and bonds. With Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), institutions can move these assets securely across multiple blockchains while meeting compliance requirements.

Fund operations are also set to become smoother. By bringing Net Asset Value (NAV) data on-chain using Chainlink SmartData, asset managers will gain better liquidity, transparency, and efficiency.
