Taurus, a digital asset infrastructure provider, has partnered with Chainlink Labs, a blockchain tech firm, to facilitate institutional tokenization.
The partnership aims to promote the adoption of tokenized assets in institutional markets by focusing on improving data transparency, cross-chain mobility and security.
In a news release shared with Cointelegraph, Taurus said it will use Chainlink data feeds for “market pricing, reference data, and identity data” to provide asset state information and facilitate transactions.

Juergen Hofbauer, global head of strategic partnerships at Taurus, told Cointelegraph that tokenization is “bringing new investment opportunities to all,” but comes with challenges. He added:
<blockquote>
 “An essential element of the solution is to enrich tokenized assets with a range of high-quality offchain data, including market pricing, reference data, and identity data.”

Hofbauer said the partnership with Chainlink improves “liquidity and insight — especially cross-chain,” to maintain the “momentum for tokenized assets.”
<blockquote>
 “Together, we provide financial institutions with crucial information about assets’ state and facilitate transactions across multiple chains.“
</blockquote>
Chainlink’s infrastructure, combined with Taurus’ presence in the European digital asset market, offers financial institutions a new opportunity to enhance the tokenization process.
Still, challenges remain.
Tokenized asset adoption faces regulatory challenges and concerns regarding market volatility that the partnership will need to overcome in an increasingly crowded market.
