CustodySync leaves collateral with a regulated custodian
Institutions can use assets as collateral for DeFi loans without transferring those assets out of regulated custody. The custodian continues to control the collateral and sends verified status updates to the lending market.
Anchorage Digital Bank is the first launch partner. Its Atlas platform handles collateral settlement and management, while Chainlink connects the custody record to the on-chain loan through its runtime environment.
The system separates custody from lending
The borrower, lending protocol and custodian keep separate responsibilities. Deposits, borrowing, repayment and liquidation can use the same verified collateral record without placing the assets directly inside the DeFi protocol.
The addressable market is large: institutions hold roughly $700 billion in digital assets with custodians. The service depends on accurate updates because a delayed collateral status can affect a borrowing limit or liquidation.
Chainlink 24/7 uses prices from perpetual-futures venues
Chainlink 24/7 combines quotes from several perpetual-futures venues during weekends and other periods when traditional stock exchanges are closed. It does not present the last closing price of a closed exchange as a live market price.
Data Feeds deliver reference data to blockchains, while Data Streams provide faster updates to trading platforms. Aave is introducing the service on Horizon, beginning with tokenized United States equities.
Round-the-clock data does not guarantee liquidity
Chainlink’s earlier 24/5 system had already served more than $1.6 billion in tokenized equities. Extending coverage to weekends can improve risk controls, but it cannot ensure that enough buyers and sellers are active at every hour.
Prices from weekend perpetual markets may differ from the level at which traditional exchanges reopen. CustodySync and Chainlink 24/7 improve infrastructure, but users must still account for liquidity and opening-price gaps.
