ChainLink and Swift enable tokenized fund workflows through existing banking systems. UBS Pilot’s new Chainlink-Swift system avoids expensive infrastructure upgrades. Global institutions can connect to cryptography using tested rails.
ChainLink and Swift have deepened their collaboration with new systems designed to allow financial institutions to manage tokenized fund processes using existing infrastructure.
The initiative integrates Swift’s global messaging network with ChainLink Runtime Environment (CRE) to enable companies to subscribe and redemption workflows for tokenized assets without requiring companies to overhaul their legacy systems.
The first pilot includes UBS Tokenization, the tokenization unit of Swiss bank UBS, and is based on previous work with financial authorities in the Singapore Project Guardian Initiative.
The purpose of this collaboration is to apply blockchain technology to streamline traditional financial processes and open the door for wider adoption of tokenized assets.
We look forward to unveiling groundbreaking technology solutions that enable financial institutions around the world to manage digital asset workflows directly from existing systems using SWIFT (@SwiftCommunity) messaging and ChainLink.

Plug and Play Infrastructure for Tokenization
The new solution utilizes Swift’s ISO 20022 compliant messaging standards along with Chainlink’s CRE and its Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) technology standards.
Institutions can directly trigger smart contract events through Swift messages, reducing the need for an entirely new identity or major management solution.
Commenting on the milestone, ChainLink co-founder Sergey Nazarov said:
We are extremely excited about this groundbreaking innovation achieved by leveraging Swift’s standards and UBS’s tokenized asset design. The use of smart contracts and new technical standards allows transfer agents and other entities to chain their tokenized asset workflows.
Markets are responding with optimism as they see potential financial revolutions unfold in real time.
The UBS Trial has confirmed that institutions like banks can integrate cryptocurrency into existing operations without the need for a painful learning curve, the launch of new platforms, or major changes.
Nevertheless, today’s development comes after a few months of work.
In 2024, UBS, ChainLink and Swift investigated how tokenized funds run in Project Guardian in Singapore.
The latest experiments take everything to a new level and show blockchain compatibility with existing systems.
Chain links are highlighted:
Swift messaging and the ChainLink Runtime Environment (CRE) allow banks and institutions to seamlessly access blockchain through the same Swift infrastructure they have relied on for decades.
Wideer picture
The integration of blockchain into traditional finance (Tradifi) often felt like connecting two incompatible worlds.
ChainLink and Swift’s innovative models aim to change the narrative.
Rather than asking your bank to all-in with new technology, you can use familiar systems to leverage cryptocurrency – Swift’s message.
It’s a simple move, but it has a deep effect.
If successful, this approach could tell a new era, and blockchain is part of the daily operations of global finance.
For agencies seeking to harness the robustness of blockchain, the new system means more opportunities and less risk.
Link price outlook
ChainLink tokens remained relatively mild in the news, increasing by 1% on the daily chart to $21.
However, an activity has been updated with a 35% increase in the 24-hour trading volume signal.
It has been consolidated over the past week and appears to be poised to lead the October breakout.

That means a surge of around 124% from Link’s market price.
