DigiFT, Chainlink, and UBS have joined forces to automate tokenized fund operations on-chain supported by Hong Kong’s Cyberport Blockchain & Digital Asset Pilot Subsidy Scheme. Announced on September 11, 2025, this collaboration aims to revolutionize asset management by leveraging smart contracts to streamline processes, reduce errors, and enhance transparency, which underscores the growing adoption of blockchain solutions in the $132 trillion global asset management sector. The price of Chainlink’s token LINK rose slightly amid the news, with bulls pushing higher by more than 3% to above $26.50. LINK recently reached highs of $30 amid the US Department of Commerce adoption of the Chainlink standard . DigiFT, UBS taps into Chainlink Per an announcement by DigiFT, the partnership leverages Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network, DigiFT’s regulated real-world asset exchange platform, and UBS’s institutional expertise. The goal is to create a seamless, automated system to deliver new possibilities in the digital market. Chainlink’s Digital Transfer Agent smart contracts are processed and recorded on-chain. What this means is that it allows investors to submit buy, sell, or redemption orders for UBS’s tokenized products through DigiFT’s regulated distributor smart contracts. The benefit of this automation? According to the platforms, the onchain application puts an end to manual reconciliations, reduces operational costs, and accelerates transaction times. In the simplest explanation, automation addresses long-standing inefficiencies in traditional fund management. This also ensures accuracy and reliability encouraging trust among institutional lenders. Bridging traditional finance and blockchain In a landmark effort to bridge the gap between traditional finance and decentralized technologies, UBS is managing $5.9 trillion in assets, which brings institutional credibility, while DigiFT’s dual licensing in Singapore and Hong Kong reinforces regulatory compliance, ensuring secure tokenized product management. This project, which is in accordance with Hong Kong’s Cyberport program, promotes blockchain adoption and digital asset infrastructure, ensuring interoperability and scalability, paving the way for broader adoption of tokenized assets. “Cyberport is at the heart of Hong Kong’s digital transformation. Through this project, we are combining institutional partners, regulated infrastructure, and blockchain technology to build the next chapter of tokenized fund distribution—one that moves us closer to a truly open economy where financial products can interoperate seamlessly across borders and platforms,” said Henry Zhang, founder & Group chief executive officer of DigiFT. This partnership not only enhances efficiency but also positions tokenized funds as a viable alternative to conventional investment vehicles, potentially lowering barriers for investors and increasing liquidity. DigiFT, Chainlink, and UBS are signaling a paradigm shift in asset management, demonstrating how blockchain can modernize financial infrastructure in an initiative which could set a precedent for other institutions, driving further integration of decentralized solutions in global markets. The future of finance looks increasingly digital, efficient, and accessible with reduced costs, faster settlements, and transparent record-keeping.
