what happened
Chainlink unveiled CustodySync on October 26, a service that aligns information between qualified custodians and decentralised lending protocols. Anchorage Digital is the initial partner. According to the report, eligible institutions could borrow against their assets while keeping existing custody arrangements in place.
The described workflow covers collateral deposit, borrowing, repayment and liquidation. Anchorage's infrastructure and its Atlas Collateral Management product are designed to coordinate with lending protocols in a way close to institutional collateral-agency practice. The details come from newsbtc.com.
why it matters
Keeping assets in custody does not remove smart-contract, oracle, liquidation or legal-enforcement risks, so responsibilities among custodian, lender and collateral agent must be clear. Investors should separate infrastructure upgrades from token demand, since fees may go to a company or service provider rather than LINK holders automatically.
