Yesterday during Crypto Week, the House approved three major bills – the CLARITY Act, the GENIUS Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act – designed to establish a clear regulatory framework for digital assets in the United States.
The SEC Crypto Task Force also admitted five new digital asset projects – the ERC-3643 Association, the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA), Etherealize, LF Decentralized Trust, and Chainlink Labs – to help establish frameworks for compliant asset tokenization.
Chainlink Labs is the primary contributing developer of Chainlink, the global standard for connecting blockchains to other chains, real-world data sources, governments, and enterprise systems. Having enabled over $22 trillion dollars in transaction value, Chainlink provides vital infrastructure for tokenizing real-world assets such as equities, bonds, funds, commodities, and real estate as unified golden records that are more efficient, secure, and globally accessible.
Chainlink’s Automated Compliance Engine (ACE) is a unified standard for creating compliance-focused digital assets and services across public and private blockchains. Its modular, privacy-preserving framework integrates existing identity systems with onchain infrastructure to support policy enforcement.
In a post on X, Chainlink wrote, “For the blockchain industry to reach its full potential and tap institutional capital, meeting regulatory requirements is essential. Only Chainlink provides the compliance, privacy, cross-chain, and data infrastructure needed to scale digital asset adoption in a single platform.”
Earlier this week, Chainlink and Blockchain Association launched Tokenized in America, an industry resource ranking all 50 U.S. States on blockchain innovation. The initiative is part of Chainlink’s ongoing effort to ensure the U.S. establishes a global method of tokenization through technical standards that define secure, reliable cross-chain connectivity, price data, proof of reserves, and identity.
Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov, who personally addressed the President at the first White House Crypto Summit earlier this year, traveled back to the White House to witness the GENIUS Act signed into law today.
In a post on X, he wrote, “The GENIUS Act is a huge step forward for stablecoins, forming the basis of on-chain payments for retail users in both highly developed and emerging markets. With even more fiat value now going on-chain, we are now off to the next stage of our industry’s development, a Real World Asset (RWA) Tokenization boom phase.”
