A leading crypto firm is making use of the leading blockchain oracle service in an effort to increase transparency.
According to a new announcement from 21Shares, the firm’s Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded fund (ETF) is utilizing Chainlink’s (LINK) Proof-of-Reserve (POR).
“Exciting news! 21Shares has integrated Chainlink Proof of Reserve (PoR) on Ethereum to increase the transparency of the 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF’s (CETH) reserves.
This integration of Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve ensures investors have real-time visibility into the Ethereum reserves backing CETH and aims to set new standards in digital asset transparency and security.”
Chainlink’s POR allows anyone to verify the ETF’s reserve data and reserve history.
Chainlink’s POR integration comes only a week after the first Spot Ethereum ETF launched in the United States.
Last Tuesday morning, ETFs from BlackRock, Fidelity, 21Shares, Invesco, Franklin Templeton, VanEck, Grayscale and BItwise hit the market.
Chainlink creator Sergey Nazarov recently said that TradFi is now gearing up to take the next big step in its adoption of digital assets and smart contracts.
“Accelerating the adoption of digital assets/smart contracts in TradFi is just the start. Once the world’s largest asset managers and banks are on-chain, the next step is connecting them to the DeFi protocols already powered by Chainlink.
Once there is a single standard for how transactions work correctly across multiple chains as well the two worlds of DeFi and TradFi, then we will enter a global Internet of Contracts, the true promise of what our industry has been working towards.”
