Chainlink’s growing role as a trusted oracle network in financial infrastructure

Chainlink announced on Monday that it has successfully enabled CBDC and stablecoin swaps between Hong Kong and Australia, involving major players such as Visa, Fidelity, and China AMC. The cross-border exchange involved the Hong Kong CBDC (e-HKD) against an Australian dollar stablecoin (A$DC), utilizing Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP).

This growing development highlights LINK’s role as a trusted oracle network in critical financial infrastructure, marking a significant step in blockchain-based cross-border payments. This news drove Chainlink’s price up 4.59% on Monday, closing above $14.36.

Another bullish sign is Coinglass’s LINK long-to-short ratio, which reads 1.25, the highest level in over a month. This ratio, above one, reflects bullish sentiment in the markets, as more traders are betting on the asset price to rise.
