Bridgetower, a company specializing in blockchain and AI infrastructure, has partnered with Chainlink, a leading oracle network. This collaboration aims to tokenize the $11 billion DOM X Arizona Copper-Gold Project.
CEO Cory Pugh stated that this live deployment is a significant advancement in bringing tokenized asset markets to institutional scale. Bridgetower's platform now natively integrates Chainlink's technology, supporting this substantial natural resource asset.
The integrated system provides tools for the entire tokenization process, including reserve verification, cross-chain settlement, and compliance checks. It leverages Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), Proof of Reserve, and NAVLink for transparent verification and valuation.
This infrastructure supports institutional-scale token issuance and distribution. Chainlink's Runtime Environment (CRE) manages compliance, valuation updates, reserve checks, and settlement. Investors can use traditional and digital currencies for subscriptions, with identity and AML checks integrated into the platform.
Bridgetower was an early adopter of Chainlink's CRE, and its rapid progression to a fully operational tokenized security deployment highlights growing institutional interest in tokenization. Johann Eid of Chainlink Labs noted that major financial institutions are observing tokenization closely, seeking evidence of its capability to power assets at institutional scale.
The two companies are also developing privacy-preserving workflows for institutional issuance, ensuring confidentiality of ownership and participant data while maintaining on-chain compliance and verification.
