Hanwha Investment and Securities, the securities affiliate of South Korea’s Hanwha group, has partnered with Chainlink to develop a global platform for tokenized real-world assets. The partnership puts Chainlink in an infrastructure role: Hanwha is adopting its data standard and Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, or CCIP, as the platform’s data and connectivity layer. Chainlink says it will provide pricing and net asset value data, and enable assets and related liquidity to move between public and private blockchains. That’s different from Chainlink issuing, distributing or holding the assets; it’s supplying some of the connective systems a platform would need.
The project remains in development. A joint working group is focused on research and implementation, so there’s no announcement of live asset issuance or production volumes. Hanwha’s chief digital officer, Insung An, called Chainlink its key global strategic partner for the effort.
The development matters as an infrastructure choice, not as evidence of a market launch: an established securities firm has named its data and interoperability provider while designing a future tokenization platform. The next checkpoint is whether that research produces live workflows, including how assets are valued and connected across chains. Until then, this shows where Hanwha is sourcing part of its intended stack, not how much activity the platform will handle.
Hanwha contributes as the securities firm developing the platform, while Chainlink supplies the data and connectivity layer. The effort remains in development rather than real production deployment.
