The Interface Between Traditional Finance and Web3: Chainlink's Impact in Web2

As blockchain technology is gradually integrated into the traditional financial system, the boundaries between Web2 and Web3 are being broken. HashKey Chain is looking for more efficient ways to connect in this wave of change, and Chainlink, the industry's leading decentralised oracle network, has made breakthroughs in this area. In contrast to many infrastructures that focus solely on the DeFi space, Chainlink not only dominates on-chain finance, but also establishes a solid industry standard in traditional financial markets, becoming a key bridge between the two worlds.

Chainlink has partnered with the world's top financial institutions, including Swift, Euroclear, and UBS, to enable applications such as asset tokenization, cross-border payments, and on-chain financial data. For example, Swift has successfully connected more than 11,500 banks to the blockchain network through Chainlink CCIP, solving the compatibility issue between traditional payment systems and on-chain assets, enabling a more seamless flow of fiat and digital assets. In addition, Chainlink has partnered with financial giants such as UBS, SBI, and Fidelity International to bring core financial data such as fund net value, asset settlement, and cross-border payments on-chain, greatly improving data transparency and market liquidity. These collaborations not only demonstrate Chainlink's technical capabilities in Web2 and Web3 interoperability, but also demonstrate its acceptance in the global financial markets.

For HashKey Chain, Chainlink is a bridge that enables HashKey Chain's asset management and payment clearing systems to seamlessly connect to the global financial system, enabling instant interaction with more than 11,500 financial institutions.

In addition, HashKey Chain's compliance-driven strategy aligns with Chainlink's positioning in the institutional market. As the world's leading provider of cross-chain interoperability and data solutions, Chainlink's technology has long been mature in the DeFi space, but its deep adoption in the compliant financial system is still in its early stages. With HashKey Chain's compliance benefits in Hong Kong, Singapore, and other regions, Chainlink can more smoothly enter Asia's traditional financial system and attract more regulatory-friendly Web3 projects to adopt its solutions. This not only solidifies Chainlink's leading position as the global Web3 infrastructure, but also opens up new opportunities for growth in Asia's institutional DeFi landscape.

Industry Significance: The Convergence Trend of Blockchain and Traditional Finance

The cooperation between HashKey Chain and Chainlink is not only a business breakthrough in the integration of blockchain technology and traditional finance, but also an important signal that the global financial system has entered the era of decentralised financial institutions and compliance. Against the backdrop of global regulatory clarity, traditional financial markets are increasingly accepting blockchain, but they still face key challenges such as compliance, security, transparency, and efficiency. Together, HashKey Chain and Chainlink are showcasing a new solution that enables the financial system to operate more efficiently through decentralised technology, eliminating intermediaries, improving liquidity, and ensuring regulatory compliance, providing a viable path to seamlessly connect Web3 and traditional finance.

From a macro market perspective, this cooperation reflects the acceleration of the digital transformation of global finance. Since 2024, with the large-scale promotion of RWA tokenization, major global financial institutions such as UBS, Fidelity International, and JP Morgan have been actively deploying blockchain infrastructure. As one of the most compliant Layer 2 in Asia, HashKey Chain is building a new standard for institutional DeFi, incorporating on-chain asset management, cross-border payments, stablecoin issuance, compliant lending and other functions into its ecological territory. As the world's most mature cross-chain interoperability solution, Chainlink has been widely used in the European and US financial systems, and this partnership marks the deepening of its penetration into the Asian market, providing core technical support for the blockchain ecosystem in financial centres such as Hong Kong and Singapore.

In addition, this cooperation is not only a technical upgrade for HashKey Chain, but also a boost to its position in the global financial market. In the future, with the development of institutional-grade DeFi, the demand for transparent, secure, and efficient blockchain infrastructure from traditional financial institutions will continue to grow. Leveraging Chainlink's capabilities such as cross-chain interoperability, on-chain data validation, and compliant oracles, HashKey Chain will make it easier to attract traditional financial institutions into the DeFi space and promote Web3 infrastructure to truly serve the global financial markets. This trend will not only drive a significant increase in HashKey Chain TVL, but also promote the application of blockchain in the global capital market, trade finance, asset management and other fields, and become an important participant in the global multi-chain financial ecosystem.

From a longer-term perspective, HashKey Chain's partnership with Chainlink will help the Asian market become a key growth driver for global blockchain financial innovation. Although financial institutions in the European and American markets have tested the waters in the DeFi field, in Asia, especially in financial centres such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates, the infrastructure of the compliance chain is still in the early stages. HashKey Chain, as a Layer 2 under the Hong Kong-licensed HashKey Group, has built a global compliant Web3 financial bridge with this cooperation, and is expected to become the preferred DeFi ecological base in the Asian market in the future, promoting the large-scale implementation of innovative applications such as RWA, stablecoins, on-chain payments, and institutional lending.

Ultimately, this cooperation will become an important milestone in the development of global DeFi from fragmentation and speculation to institutionalisation, compliance, and stability. As the HashKey Chain ecosystem continues to grow and Chainlink continues to expand globally, we are witnessing the birth of a more transparent, efficient, and seamless global blockchain financial system.
