Coinbase has unveiled a groundbreaking integration of Chainlink's cross-chain interoperability technology into its Project Diamond platform, aiming to drive institutional adoption of digital assets globally.

Project Diamond: A Step Towards Global Adoption

Facilitating seamless and compliant digital asset solutions

Coinbase's Project Diamond is a cutting-edge digital asset platform designed to cater to the needs of global institutions. By incorporating Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), the platform ensures secure, efficient access to data across both public and private blockchains.

The Dec. 10 announcement underscores Coinbase's commitment to advancing institutional adoption through innovative solutions. Marcel Kasumovich, Deputy Chief Investment Officer at Coinbase Asset Management, emphasized that this integration sets a standard for widespread use of digital assets.

How Chainlink Enhances Project Diamond

Interoperability for streamlined operations

Chainlink's CCIP offers robust cross-chain connectivity and secure data access. This integration enables banks and financial institutions to utilize verifiable data, boosting operational efficiency and compliance.

Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs, highlighted the potential of this partnership to scale tokenized assets and enhance institutional engagement with blockchain technology.

Strategic Implementation in Abu Dhabi

A hub for innovation and regulatory compliance

Coinbase revealed that Peregrine, an ADGM-regulated venture of PSG Digital, will act as the flagship user of Project Diamond in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). The platform leverages Coinbase’s tech stack, including Base, a layer-2 blockchain solution, on-chain wallets, and USDC.

Project Diamond’s regulatory compliance is assured through oversight by Abu Dhabi’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority, aligning with international standards to foster trust and adoption.

Scaling Tokenized Assets

Unlocking opportunities for asset issuers and fund managers

The collaboration enables asset issuers and fund managers to scale tokenized assets efficiently. By integrating Chainlink’s standard directly into the Project Diamond platform, Coinbase bridges the gap between traditional finance and blockchain innovation, empowering institutions worldwide.
