India's $62B Trade Credit Giant Picks Chainlink as its Exclusive Oracle Infrastructure

Vayana, India's largest trade finance platform, has chosen Chainlink as its exclusive oracle infrastructure for the issuance, distribution, and settlement of tokenized assets, marking one of the most significant blockchain integrations in the country's financial sector to date.

Vayana is India's largest trade finance platform, enabling businesses of all sizes to access affordable credit seamlessly. The company has financed close to USD 40 billion to date, serving over 300,000 enterprises across more than 3,000 supply chains. Founded in Pune and led by CEO Ramaswamy Iyer, the firm's decision to adopt Chainlink signals a broader push by Indian financial infrastructure players into on-chain finance.

What the Integration Covers

The integration begins with two core components of the Chainlink stack. The first is the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), the all-in-one orchestration layer unlocking institutional-grade smart contracts for on-chain finance. The second is the Chainlink Automated Compliance Engine (ACE), which handles KYC, AML, sanctions screening, and travel-rule enforcement directly on-chain, removing the need for separate off-chain compliance workflows.

Chainlink is the only all-in-one oracle platform that supports the data, interoperability, compliance, privacy, orchestration, and legacy system integration needs of advanced blockchain applications. For Vayana, that full-stack capability appears to have been the deciding factor. Ram Iyer, Founder and CEO of Vayana, cited Chainlink's security, reliability, and compliance capabilities as the basis for the strategic choice.

Broader Momentum for Chainlink in Institutional Finance

The Vayana deal arrives as Chainlink deepens its footprint across traditional finance globally. The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) will use Chainlink infrastructure for its blockchain-based collateral management platform, with its Collateral AppChain set to use Chainlink's Runtime Environment and data standard to support pricing, valuation, margining, collateral optimization, and settlement. The Collateral AppChain is expected to go live in the fourth quarter of 2026. Leading financial institutions and protocols, including Swift, Euroclear, UBS, Kinexys by J.P. Morgan, Mastercard, AWS, Google Cloud, Aave's Horizon, and Ondo, are adopting CRE to capture the $867 trillion tokenization opportunity.

For Vayana, the Chainlink integration represents a step toward bringing India's deep trade credit ecosystem on-chain, with compliance built into the settlement layer from the outset rather than bolted on afterward.
