Chainlink and Chainalysis have announced a partnership to create an automated compliance framework designed for institutional use in the DeFi and tokenized asset markets. The new system, which integrates Chainalysis KYT with Chainlink's Automated Compliance Engine (ACE), aims to significantly reduce compliance costs for institutions. Scheduled for launch in Q2 2026, the framework will provide a unified compliance strategy across multiple blockchains, offering real-time risk monitoring and automated policy enforcement. This initiative is expected to bolster transparency and trust within digital asset ecosystems.
