Chainlink has launched its CCIP Private Transactions protocol, designed to secure private transactions for financial institutions across various blockchain networks.

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) will lead the testing of this feature, focusing on the settlement of tokenized real-world assets, as part of Singapore's Project Guardian. This initiative demonstrates the application of Chainlink's technology within the banking industry.

The newly introduced private transactions allow institutional clients to establish privacy settings, ensuring their on-chain data remains confidential from third parties while enabling compliance officials to access the necessary information.

Sergey Nazarov emphasized the critical nature of privacy in institutional transactions, noting that the blockchain sector has yet to reach the requisite privacy standards to promote wider institutional engagement. Nazarov anticipates that this new capability will facilitate greater adoption of blockchain technologies among institutions.
