DTCC’s Nadine Chakar on how Chainlink enables the DTCC Collateral Appchain’s multi-chain strategy for collateral management: “This is where our partnership is really important to us because you do help us with orchestration, you do help us with tying infrastructure together” ↓

Introducing Chainlink Fulcrum: the gateway connecting the world’s largest financial institutions to onchain financing. As tokenized assets and financing venues expand across public and private blockchains, institutions need to mobilize collateral and access liquidity without building bespoke infrastructure for every market. Chainlink Fulcrum solves this with an end-to-end solution that separates where financing agreements are managed from where cash & collateral settle. Counterparties define the eligible assets, financing terms, and the settlement networks through which the assets move. For institutions, this unlocks: • Faster collateral mobilization that enables intraday financing, including on holidays and weekends. • 24/7 risk management through automated collateral coverage checks throughout the day, extending beyond end-of-day processes. • Greater capital efficiency by making assets across networks available for financing, helping institutions free up balance sheet capacity. • Lower operational complexity through reusable workflows that connect existing systems across public and private blockchains. The solution combines multiple aspects of the Chainlink platform, including the Chainlink Runtime Environment (orchestrates transaction lifecycle), CCIP (cross-chain data and asset transfers), and Data Streams (collateral valuation data). Chainlink Fulcrum is designed to serve all market participants, including banks, dealers, prime brokers, agent lenders, custodians, hedge funds, pension funds, insurers, sovereign wealth funds, money market funds, asset managers, tokenized fund and stablecoin issuers, and corporate treasuries. Each can lend, borrow, or mobilize collateral on terms that fit its mandate and risk parameters. Fulcrum is in the process of being integrated with leading TradFi environments, providing a single platform where participants can compare financing terms and route transactions to the venue of their choice, where the agreement is executed and governed. This is a foundational step toward global financing markets, where an asset’s utility extends beyond the network on which it was issued. 🧵↓
