Chainlink and GLEIF Launch Institutional-Grade Identity for Blockchain | Live Bitcoin News

This article explores the strategic partnership between Chainlink and GLEIF to introduce institutional-grade on-chain identity solutions for blockchain adoption.

The collaboration integrates GLEIF's verifiable Legal Entity Identifier (vLEI) with Chainlink's Cross-Chain Identity and Automated Compliance Engine, embedding organizational identity directly into wallets, smart contracts, and tokenized assets. This breakthrough addresses the long-standing barrier of trusted identity verification that has prevented major financial institutions from fully embracing tokenized finance. The solution enables programmatic asset provenance verification, automated compliance implementation, and reliable asset recovery in case of cryptographic key compromise.

• Enables hundreds of trillions in institutional capital to flow onchain through automated compliance and enhanced security controls
• Advances real-world asset tokenization by allowing banks and asset managers to operate within compliant frameworks across jurisdictions
• Reduces regulatory uncertainty for stablecoin issuers, trading venues, and financial institutions adopting tokenized solutions
• Creates infrastructure for large-scale deployment while maintaining transparency, accountability, and operational efficiency in digital finance
