Chainlink launches Fulcrum for 24/7 institutional financing risk checks

Institutional financing is getting a cross-chain operating layer instead of another isolated blockchain pilot. Chainlink launched Fulcrum to connect financial institutions to on-chain financing, manage collateral across networks and support intraday funding. The platform runs risk checks 24/7, while Chainlink’s partnership with Bottomline targets cross-chain, cross-border payments for more than 600 banks using ISO 20022 messaging.
