The Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) and Chainlink have partnered to deliver an institutional-grade identity solution for the blockchain industry. By combining GLEIF’s verifiable Legal Entity Identifier (vLEI) with Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Identity (CCID) and Automated Compliance Engine (ACE), the solution embeds verifiable organizational identity directly into onchain wallets, smart contracts, and tokenized assets.

This innovation removes one of the most significant barriers to institutional adoption of digital assets: the lack of a trusted identity onchain. Institutions, stablecoin issuers, and trading venues can now meet regulatory requirements, automate compliance, and verify counterparties across jurisdictions while safeguarding user privacy.

With trusted identity and compliance embedded at the protocol level, the partnership paves the way for banks, asset managers, and digital asset platforms to confidently scale tokenized finance and unlock significant institutional capital flows onchain.
