Global IT services and consulting giant Infosys (NYSE: INFY) has entered a strategic partnership with decentralized oracle network Chainlink to accelerate institutional onchain finance. Announced on September 22, 2026, the collaboration is aimed at helping financial institutions adopt blockchain-based tokenization, digital assets, compliance, and data infrastructure.
Chainlink confirmed the integration will include its key technology stack: the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), the Automated Compliance Engine (ACE), external data feeds, Data Streams, and reserve verification through Proof of Reserve. These tools are intended to support tokenized real-world assets, stablecoin settlement workflows, and secure interoperability between public and private networks under strict financial compliance standards.
The partnership carries significant institutional weight. Infosys supports critical banking and payments infrastructure serving more than 1.7 billion customer accounts worldwide and has a market presence exceeding $40 billion. Chainlink, meanwhile, says its infrastructure has supported tens of trillions in transaction value and has previously collaborated with institutions such as SWIFT, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, and UBS.
Still, the agreement remains an infrastructure-focused technical collaboration, with no specific banking institutions, adoption targets, transaction volumes, or production rollout timelines formally announced. The next major step will be the unveiling of formal pilots and joint commercial deployments alongside custodian banks, asset managers, and global payment rails.
