Huma Finance has selected Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) as the exclusive cross-chain infrastructure for its core yield product, PST. The PayFi network said the move follows a review of cross-chain systems after recent bridge-related security failures across DeFi. Huma will use Chainlink CCIP for PST and all future yield products as it expands Solana-based yield assets across multiple blockchains.&nbsp;

 After a rigorous security evaluation, leading PayFi network <a href="https://twitter.com/humafinance?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@humafinance</a> has selected Chainlink CCIP to power its cross-chain yield products for 100K+ users.
 Huma is adopting CCIP because it provides the highest level of security and unlocks the expansion of PST across chains. <a href="https://t.co/HENiVjHHHT" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/HENiVjHHHT</a>

The decision centers on cross-chain security, a major issue for protocols that move assets across networks. Institutional assets <a href="https://ethnews.com/chainlink-and-solana-lead-development-activity-across-solana-ecosystem/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">require</a> risk controls such as rate limits, issuer attestations, and policy-based checks. These controls help reduce exposure when protocols connect payment-backed assets to different blockchain ecosystems.
Huma plans to<a href="https://blog.huma.finance/huma-finance-selects-chainlink-ccip-to-power-cross-chain-yield" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> use</a> Chainlink’s data and interoperability standards to bridge Solana-based yield assets into the wider multi-chain market. The company said every CCIP bridge lane uses decentralized oracle networks, with at least 16 independent and security-reviewed node operators securing each lane. The setup gives Huma a framework for moving assets while maintaining verification across chains.
Chainlink Data Feeds and Data Streams will also support PST markets across the multi-chain ecosystem. The tools help provide reliable market data for products tied to institutional-grade yield. Its broader network recently crossed $12 billion in cumulative on-chain transaction volume and more than $170 million in active liquidity.

Meanwhile, Chainlink <a href="https://ethnews.com/chainlink-approaches-10-after-a-week-of-steady-recovery-inside-a-compression-channel/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">continues</a> to draw attention across institutional and DeFi use cases. The network recently crossed $30 trillion in transaction value after surpassing $29 trillion only a few weeks earlier. The milestone is a marker of rising network adoption.

Separately, SmartContract Inc. published a patent tied to a blockchain abstraction layer built on Chainlink nodes. According to the thread, the proposed structure allows institutions to send generic requests while Chainlink nodes translate, sign, sponsor gas, execute on-chain actions, and return confirmations through an API. The system includes CRE Connect, where 16 decentralized nodes attest to on-chain events before delivering cryptographic proofs to institutions.
LINK is changing hands near $9.15 after rallying from the $9 support level. LINK price analysis placed the token between its 20-day and 50-day EMAs, while the 200-day EMA, near $11.61, remained a higher resistance level.
The $9 level is the main area to watch in the near term. A sustained hold above that zone could keep LINK positioned for another move toward $10.00, where traders expect the next liquidity test. However, a break below $9 could expose the lower liquidity area near $8.30, according to recent technical analysis.
