The tokenization of real-world assets represents one of the most significant opportunities in blockchain infrastructure. As traditional finance increasingly moves onchain, the need for reliable, verifiable data infrastructure has never been more critical.
Why Tokenization Needs Trusted Data
Tokenization brings trillions of dollars onchain, expanding distribution and unlocking new use cases. But this transformation depends on one fundamental requirement: trust in the data that backs these digital representations.
When an institution tokenizes a credit fund or issues a backed stablecoin, investors need continuous, independent verification that the underlying assets exist and are accurately valued. Without this verification layer, tokenized assets remain vulnerable to the same opacity and information asymmetries that blockchain technology was designed to solve.
This is where
Chronicle's Proof of Asset framework becomes essential, providing the continuous, cryptographically verifiable attestation that institutional capital demands to scale onchain.
2026: Building the Data Foundation for Tokenized Finance
The start of 2026 has marked a significant acceleration in Chronicle's adoption across the tokenized asset ecosystem:
Centrifuge Partnership: The Tokenized Data Standard
In early January 2026,
Chronicle was selected as the primary oracle partner for Centrifuge, one of the pioneering platforms in real-world asset tokenization. This partnership establishes Chronicle as the data foundation for tokenized assets deployed across Centrifuge's platform, which empowers asset issuers to tokenize, manage, and distribute funds through a single, transparent infrastructure.
The partnership enables Centrifuge’s asset managers and users to confidently scale tokenized funds, credit portfolios, and structured products, knowing that the data infrastructure behind them meets institutional standards for verifiability, risk management, and transparency.
Chronicle's Proof of Asset Unlocks Apollo's ACRDX on Morpho via Steakhouse
Another significant milestone was
the launch of the ACRDX/USDC market curated by Steakhouse on Morpho. ACRDX is a tokenized fund that provides exposure to Apollo Global Management's diversified private credit investments through the Apollo Diversified Credit Fund, with strategy led by Anemoy Capital.
Chronicle's Proof of Asset framework delivers continuous verification of the fund's underlying assets and pricing, demonstrating how sophisticated institutional strategies can operate onchain with the same verification standards expected in traditional finance. By enabling granular asset-level backing and operational transparency, the framework allows private credit to be used as collateral in lending markets, unlocking the full benefits of onchain composability.
MoonPay's Enterprise Stablecoin Infrastructure
Chronicle announced its role in
MoonPay's enterprise stablecoin services built on the M0 platform. Chronicle's Proof of Asset framework ensures the secure and accurate minting and redemption of MoonPay-issued stablecoins, providing continuous verification of underlying asset backing and maintaining the integrity of digital dollar infrastructure.
This collaboration highlights how Chronicle's infrastructure enables MoonPay to bring stablecoin solutions to market at global scale.
Chronicle Provides Proof of Asset Verification for Securitize’s Tokenized AAA CLO Fund, Bringing Institutional Structured Credit Onchain
Securitize integrated
Chronicle’s Proof of Asset verification layer for the Securitize Tokenized AAA CLO Fund (STAC), bringing institutional structured credit onchain. With BNY serving as custodian and sub-advisor through BNY Investments, Chronicle provides independent verification of fund holdings and pricing, ensuring continuous, onchain-attestable visibility into underlying assets.
STAC exemplifies the type of sophisticated institutional product that demands holdings-level transparency to meet institutional risk and operational standards. Tokenized structured credit cannot function in onchain markets without verifiable asset data. Chronicle’s Proof of Asset provides the infrastructure that makes this possible, transforming complex structured products into transparent, continuously verified instruments fit for onchain capital markets.
Building Trust at Scale
Across private credit, CLOs, stablecoins, and tokenized fund platforms, the pattern is consistent: institutions are no longer asking whether to tokenize — they are asking how to do it without compromising oversight, control, or operational integrity. Chronicle’s Proof of Asset framework addresses that challenge by converting underlying asset data into continuously verifiable, onchain-attestable infrastructure markets can rely on.
These partnerships reflect a fundamental insight: tokenization only scales when backed by verifiable data. Chronicle’s Proof of Asset provides the infrastructure layer that enables institutions to bring trillions in assets onchain with confidence.
The start of 2026 has reinforced our thesis: as tokenized finance scales, verification becomes infrastructure. The institutions shaping the next decade of capital markets are not experimenting. They are standardizing around systems that enable continuous visibility into underlying assets. Chronicle’s Proof of Asset is emerging as that standard.
