‘Major new asset primitive’ – Chainlink bridges cbBTC to Monad
Chainlink has integrated support for Coinbase Wrapped Bitcoin (cbBTC), enabling users on the Monad blockchain to bridge assets seamlessly with Base, an Ethereum Layer-2. With over $5 billion in circulation, cbBTC introduces significant liquidity to Monad’s growing DeFi ecosystem. The integration is powered by Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), which supports 77 chains and over 200 tokens, and has processed nearly $15 billion in cumulative transfer volume. Despite a recent decline in activity due to broader market conditions, CCIP has generated substantial fees, benefiting LINK token holders through its token accrual program. However, LINK’s price has been range-bound between $8 and $9.5, with muted institutional demand and limited ETF inflows hindering a strong rebound.
