Chainlink and Apex Group Advance Institutional-Grade Stablecoin Infrastructure in Support of the Bermuda Monetary Authority's Embedded Supervision Initiative

The new Chainlink-powered solution is bringing institutional-grade compliance to stablecoins.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chainlink, the industry-standard oracle platform, and Apex Group, a leading global services provider with $3.5 trillion in assets serviced across 52 different countries, have successfully completed a pilot solution for institutional-grade stablecoin infrastructure in Bermuda. 

This pilot, conducted in collaboration with the Bermuda Monetary Authority as part of its Innovation Hub, represents an important step toward supervisory innovation. It enables a unified,compliance-forward, institutional-grade stablecoin framework powered by Chainlink standards and services, including the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), the Automated Compliance Engine (ACE), and Proof of Reserve. It also brings together key Chainlink ecosystem members, including Bluprynt and Hacken, to support and strengthen this framework.

The Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA) serves as the regulator for Bermuda's financial services sector, responsible for issuing the Bermudian dollar and overseeing institutions such as banks and insurers. As of 2023, Bermuda hosted over 1,200 registered insurers that collectively underwrote more than $277 billion in gross premiums. In 2022, the banking sector reported its consolidated assets as $26 billion.

In this solution, live on testnet, Chainlink serves as the official, trusted infrastructure enabling regulated asset issuers, through its full-stack oracle platform:

• Posting real-time reserve data onchain via Chainlink Proof of Reserve, providing continuous visibility into the stablecoin's underlying collateral.
• Securing minting via Secure Mint to help ensure that the circulating supply can't exceed reserves to prevent unauthorized issuance.
• Using the Automated Compliance Engine (ACE) to enforce Bermuda-specific regulatory and operational policies directly onchain.
• Enabling seamless cross-chain interoperability with zero-slippage transfers through the Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard.
• Relaying data onchain from Apex Group that provides stablecoin asset servicing, including custody of underlying assets, reserve management, and tokenization powered by Tokeny.
• Hacken Extractor provides on-chain visibility and intelligence through real-time security and compliance dashboards, alerting on stablecoin risks, sanctioned wallet activity, and suspicious on-chain anomalies.
• Linking verified entities to their mint authority wallets through Bluprynt's Know Your Issuer (KYI) identity solution and Policy Protocol for transparent, regulatorily compliant asset issuance.

"I'm very excited about our embedded supervision solution with the Bermuda Monetary Authority to advance institutional-grade, regulatory-friendly stablecoins in Bermuda. The Bermuda Monetary Authority is one of the most forward-looking regulators globally, and by leveraging Chainlink's platform they can enforce compliance in real time, prevent unauthorized minting, and securely transact across chains. It's exciting to see Apex Group at the forefront of the future of finance, their commitment to advancing secure and trusted onchain financial systems aligns with the direction global finance is rapidly moving toward," said Sergey Nazarov, Co-Founder of Chainlink.

"Partnering with the Bermuda Monetary Authority and Chainlink on this solution has been a significant step forward. Apex Group's asset servicing capabilities were seamlessly integrated with Hacken's data integrity solutions and Blueprynt's identity transparency layer, all brought together through Chainlink's industry-standard oracle platform. The BMA's forward-looking approach made it possible to deliver a production-ready, regulator-aligned stablecoin framework that operates with real-time compliance and collateral assurance," said Peter Hughes, CEO at Apex Group.

"Bluprynt has long explored with the BMA first-in-class compliance strategies that enable industry to scale while advancing consumer and investor protection. Building on that foundation, we're excited to collaborate with Chainlink, Apex, and Hacken to redefine what regulatory-grade stablecoin infrastructure can be. By integrating Bluprynt's Know Your Issuer and Policy Protocol with Apex's asset-servicing solutions, Hacken's security and surveillance tools, and Chainlink's oracle technology, we're creating a full-stack regulatory framework that demonstrates how regulators, infrastructure providers, and innovators can work together to build a more transparent and secure on-chain financial system,"said Chris Brummer, Founder and CEO at Bluprynt.

"This partnership sets a new standard for how secure and compliant digital asset stablecoins can redefine global finance. Hacken's technology embeds supervisory capabilities directly into the infrastructure layer - enabling real-time risk alerts, automated compliance checks, and proactive issue remediation, all seamlessly integrated into the Chainlink-powered ecosystem. Collaborating with forward-thinking partners like the BMA, Chainlink, and Apex proves that regulatory innovation and technical excellence can advance together at production speed." said Yevheniia Broshevan, CEO & Co-Founder at Hacken.
