Chainlink Powers CBTC on Canton, Unlocking Verified 1:1 BTC Collateral

Key Takeaways:

• First, Chainlink Proof of Reserve and Data Streams on CBTC on Canton are being hooked up at BitSafe.
• CBTC remains 1:1 with BTC and you will have real-time low latency pricing.
• The mash-up enables you to do lending, swaps and structured products using the solid standardized data.

BitSafe has also upgraded the wrapped Bitcoin asset, CBTC by integrating oracle infrastructure on Canton Network. This integration brings crypto lending activities at institutional level, along with a real BTC reserve confirmation scheme for institutional-grade apps.

CBTC Goes Live With Onchain Reserve Verification

CBTC is the first wrapped Bitcoin asset on Canton Network. Developed by BitSafe, CBTC is designed for financial environments that are strictly managed, require privacy rights, comply with legal regulations and control collateral assets stringently.

To operate as a credible collateral, a Bitcoin-backed asset needs to confirm that it has full guarantee. BitSafe is currently utilizing Chainlink Proof of Reserve scheme to provide on-chain confirmation that CBTC is always backing 1:1 ratio with BTC 

This allows developers, partners and platforms to self verify reserve real-time, independently from manual confirmation reports or late announcements. The verification process happens continuously and can be accessed on blockchain directly.

Live viewing of reserves is important in the case of institutional stuff such as collateralized lending or margin products. Confirmation in real time eliminates counterparty risk and ensures that settlement is like rock.

This implies that Canton based platforms will be free to access uniform and up to date pricing when CBTC is utilized as collateral.

Why Real-Time Pricing Is Critical

Mark-to-market math, liquidation, and automated settlement are stimulated by the presence of live BTC price feeds. Without sound pricing, then risk management becomes a mess.

Just by being folded directly into the guts of CBTC, standardized price data can now be spun up without devs spinning up custom oracles. That eliminates integration pains and accelerates product launches in Canton.

Expanding Institutional Bitcoin Utility on Canton

Under the condition of Proof of reserve and Data Streams running, CBTC can be accommodated in an entire galaxy of Canton -native applications. Lending protocols, swap pools, and structured product platforms can now adopt CBTC as verifiable BTC-backed collateral under a unified data standard.

DeFi developers on Canton such as options protocol Thetanuts Finance and the decentralized exchange Kairo are set to draw CBTC in through joint pricing and reserve verification. The effect of standardization reduces ad interferon.

BitSafe continues to drive itself as a fundamental infra player in the Canton scene. Combining Bitcoin support and solid oracle support will help CBTC to make the move beyond a mere wrapped asset and become a data-verified collateral layer, designed to serve institutional crypto markets.
