Columbia’s largest bank, Bancolombia Group-bscked, Wenia, partnered with Chainlink to enhance the transparency and security of COPW by integrating Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve (PoR) technology. COPW is a stablecoin fully backed 1:1 by the Colombian Peso.
Chainlink's Proof of Reserve (PoR) provides a critical layer of security by offering on-chain data feeds that confirm the adequacy of reserves backing COPW. This technology safeguards against risks such as infinite mint attacks, where new stablecoins could be issued without corresponding reserves, according to a press release shared with BSCN.
&nbsp;
Chainlink’s PoR system is integrated into the COPW stablecoin’s minting process. This integration reportedly ensures that each COPW token is backed by an equivalent amount of Colombian Pesos, offering users peace of mind.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
In addition, Wenia employs third-party audits by Harris and Trotter to verify reserve accuracy, further enhancing trust in the stablecoin's backing.

The launch of COPW is timely, as the Colombian crypto market has seen&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://forbes.co/2024/05/02/activos-digitales/bancolombia-se-adentra-en-las-criptomonedas-con-una-nueva-plataforma-que-competira-con-binance-y-bitso" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">substantial growth</a>. Stablecoins now account for a significant portion of crypto acquisitions, driven by increased demand and a need for secure transaction methods.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
According to Chainalysis, monthly crypto transactions in Colombia reach around $200 million, placing it as the 32nd nation in global crypto adoption and the fourth in Latin America.
&nbsp;
Wenia’s platform allows users to buy, sell, and convert COPW to major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, MATIC, and USDC directly through the Wenia App.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Despite being a part of the Bancolombia Group, Wenia is registered in Bermuda and operates under a license from the Bermuda Monetary Authority. This regulatory framework allows Wenia to offer its services independently of Colombian regulations. The platform’s goal is to reach 60,000 users in its first year, capitalizing on Colombia's growing crypto market.

Chainlink’s involvement extends beyond Wenia's stablecoin. The company has been actively integrating its services with various blockchain networks to enhance transparency and reliability.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Recent developments include Chainlink’s Data Feeds on Starknet's mainnet and partnerships with Sygnum and Fidelity to bring Net Asset Value (NAV) data on-chain.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
These initiatives aim to boost the accessibility and reliability of digital asset data.
