Infosys and Chainlink Connect 1.7B Accounts to Onchain Finance
Infosys said the partnership can connect its financial-services reach with Chainlink infrastructure across institutional use cases. The company’s Finacle banking platform serves more than 1.7 billion accounts, according to Infosys, giving the collaboration a large enterprise-technology base.
The partnership will focus on tokenized assets, payments and settlement, interoperable financial-market infrastructure and other digital-asset applications. Infosys and LINK also plan joint customer engagements, go-to-market initiatives and employee and client enablement around tokenization and onchain finance.

Chainlink Partnership Covers Six Tools for Institutional Finance
The companies are standardizing adoption of several LINK services, including CCIP, Chainlink Runtime Environment, Automated Compliance Engine, Proof of Reserve, Data Streams and Data Feeds. Together, these tools address different parts of institutional blockchain infrastructure, from cross-chain messaging and data delivery to compliance and verification.
The combination is significant because financial institutions often operate across multiple systems and jurisdictions. LINK’s Infosys partnership page says the companies will combine Infosys’ consulting, engineering and systems-integration capabilities with LINK’s data, interoperability, compliance, privacy and orchestration standards.
Institutional Onchain Finance Expands Beyond Single Networks
The partnership also fits a broader shift toward tokenized financial infrastructure. LINK says its platform has enabled tens of trillions of dollars in transaction value and is used by financial institutions and market infrastructures including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International and UBS.
Infosys has previously highlighted cross-chain settlement use cases involving LINK. Its research describes an Ondo Finance, J.P. Morgan and LINK transaction that demonstrated cross-chain delivery-versus-payment for tokenized U.S. Treasury funds, illustrating how interoperability can connect public and permissioned financial networks.
LINK Gains 15.7% as Institutional Developments Continue
LINK closed at $13.17 on September 21, up from $11.38 on September 17, a 15.7% increase over four sessions. CoinGecko data put LINK’s market capitalization at about $9.86 billion on September 22, with roughly $756.4 million in trading volume recorded for the day.
The market move comes alongside other institutional developments around LINK. On September 18, Bitwise filed a preliminary prospectus for the Bitwise LINK ETF, which would seek exposure to LINK through a U.S.-listed exchange-traded product, although the filing remained subject to regulatory effectiveness.
