Chainlink continues to accelerate prediction markets as one of the fastest-growing sectors in global finance, with a projected $1 trillion annual trading volume by 2030. In July, Solana launched its premier prediction market, World, which partnered with Chainlink to provide high-speed market data and immediate resolution.
World launched on Phantom, Solana’s most popular non-custodial crypto wallet, and opened with markets spanning crypto prices and the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup. World leverages the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) and Chainlink Data Streams to enhance its Solana-native markets as they expand into sports, politics, macroeconomics, and culture.
On an episode of The Edge Podcast, Chainlink Labs’ Chief Business Officer, Johann Eid, explained why prediction markets such as Polymarket, Myriad, Jupiter Exchange, Kalshi, and ADI Predictstreet, which regularly process up to $24 billion in monthly trading volume, require Chainlink’s secure-by-default oracle infrastructure to operate globally at scale.
“Prediction markets cannot exist if you don’t know what has happened and Chainlink has been building the infrastructure to say ‘that’s what happened’ for the last seven years. It’s a big focus for us and a lot of the market is moving to this type of resolution through decentralized oracles.”
More than $7.2 billion in protocol value has now migrated from LayerZero to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), following a LayerZero exploit that resulted in nearly $300 million in losses across DeFi.
Mantle, Ethereum’s largest L2 with ZK proofs, is migrating its native cross-chain infrastructure, the Mantle Super Portal, from LayerZero to CCIP. The Super Portal, co-developed with Bybit, will leverage CCIP to strengthen the security of Mantle’s $2.5 billion utility and governance token, MNT, as it moves between different blockchain networks.
Yuzu Money, a decentralized yield protocol with institutional-grade risk management, also adopted CCIP as its exclusive cross-chain infrastructure. The migration replaces Yuzu Money’s previous LayerZero OFT bridging integration and unlocks the secure expansion and distribution of assets across DeFi’s multi-chain ecosystem.
CCIP is also key to Lombard Finance’s Bitcoin Onchain Credit Strategy, a new allocation within the Bitcoin Earn automated yield product. As the only interoperability standard to achieve ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 attestation, CCIP unlocks multi-chain distribution for the Strategy, which establishes a novel source of Bitcoin-denominated yield driven by real financing activity.
Following an updated Aave Risk Framework that scored CCIP as the most secure cross-chain infrastructure for governing all assets, Aave expanded its use of CCIP to Aave App, a consumer-facing mobile savings application that lets users earn high-yield returns without any technical knowledge. Instead of manual bridge and deposit actions, CCIP powers cross-chain vault rebalancing, deposits, and transfers in the background using a single interface.
United Stables, a leading digital asset infrastructure provider, adopted Chainlink as the official data and cross-chain infrastructure to scale the $1 billion U stablecoin, designed to unify liquidity across trading, payments, DeFi, institutional settlement, and AI-driven autonomous systems. The integration includes Chainlink Data Feeds and Proof of Reserve, with plans to integrate CCIP in the near future.
Chainlink is bringing the $1.69 trillion U.S. auto loan market to DeFi via AUTO, the first permissionless RWA backed by near-prime U.S. auto loan yield. Issued by Hastra, AUTO is secured by Chainlink Data Streams on Kamino, the largest DeFi lending protocol on Solana with over $1 billion in TVL. AUTO gives Kamino users direct access to auto loan yield onchain and marks the start of Hastra’s transition into tokenized consumer credit.
