Chainlink Dominates 15% of RWA Deployments With Institutional Partnerships

Chainlink has solidified its leadership in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization through a series of strategic developments and institutional partnerships in 2025. As the RWA market exceeds $50 billion, Chainlink continues to serve as the foundational infrastructure connecting traditional finance to blockchain-based smart contracts. This is achieved through its robust oracle network, which provides secure access to real-world data, a critical requirement for creating and managing tokenized assets [1].

A major milestone was reached on June 12, 2025, when JPMorgan Chase, Chainlink’s oracle solution, and Ondo Finance successfully executed a cross-chain Delivery versus Payment (DvP) transaction. This demonstrates the maturity and institutional readiness of Chainlink’s infrastructure for large-scale settlements. In another significant collaboration, a pilot project with Swift and UBS showcased the feasibility of cross-border transactions using blockchain, signaling growing acceptance of Chainlink solutions in traditional banking [1].

Chainlink’s cross-chain interoperability has already accounted for more than 15% of RWA deployments, according to a report by rwa.xyz. This underscores the importance of seamless integration across multiple blockchain ecosystems, a domain where Chainlink holds a strong competitive edge [1].

The LINK token has shown strong performance, trading around $25 in mid-August 2025, supported by bullish momentum and solid technical fundamentals. On the daily chart, LINK has reclaimed key moving averages, including the EMA 20, 50, and 100, indicating a well-established uptrend. Analysts view these technical signals as promising for the token’s future performance [1].

The RWA market is not limited to traditional financial assets. Innovations in real estate, music rights, collectibles, and infrastructure are expanding the scope of tokenization. For example, platforms are enabling investors to purchase fractions of real estate with as little as $50, offering weekly rental income through smart contracts. This removes traditional barriers to entry and introduces unprecedented liquidity to otherwise illiquid markets [1].

Institutional adoption is accelerating, with major players like BlackRock supporting tokenized investment vehicles. These developments create a positive feedback loop, encouraging more institutions to explore RWA as a new asset class. Despite this progress, the sector faces regulatory uncertainty, and global authorities are still shaping frameworks to govern this evolving market [1].

While Chainlink remains the dominant oracle provider, emerging competitors are pushing innovation in the space. However, Chainlink’s technological maturity and extensive institutional partnerships position it as the preferred infrastructure for RWA tokenization [1].
