President-elect Donald Trump’s decentralized finance platform, World Liberty Financial, has announced an integration with Chainlink’s price feeds to provide real-time, tamper-proof data to the DeFi project.
According to a Nov. 14 announcement, World Liberty Financial will leverage Chainlink oracles on the Ethereum mainnet to power the platform’s launch — based on an Aave v3 instance. Following the integration, Eric Trump, Web3 ambassador at World Liberty Financial and the son of the president-elect, had this to say:
“World Liberty Financial’s partnership with Chainlink marks a huge step forward. Never before have we been more bullish on crypto or the overall future of DeFi technology.”
World Liberty Financial’s choice to integrate Chainlink as an oracle provider follows yet another successful pilot test with the SWIFT interbank messaging system and further growth of the Chainlink ecosystem.

Chainlink continues to be dominant oracle provider
In November 2024, Chainlink concluded a tokenization pilot program with Swiss banking giant UBS, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and SWIFT. The pilot program tested tokenized fund settlements between the entities and featured settlement options in non-blockchain currencies.
Shortly before the conclusion of the pilot initiative, the TronDAO — the decentralized autonomous organization that governs the Tron network — announced it was adopting Chainlink as its oracle provider for price data.
Chainlink also announced the launch of private blockchain transactions for financial institutions — an indispensable feature for businesses that must protect sensitive data during deals.
The privacy-enhancing suite of features included the Blockchain Privacy Manager, which allows private enterprise blockchains to connect to the Chainlink network, and an end-to-end encryption solution called CCIP Private Transactions.
Despite Chainlink’s continued growth, competitors like the Pyth network, Chronicle and Redstone are eroding Chainlink’s market share. In October 2024, Pyth flipped Chainlink in terms of 30-day transaction volume.
However, Chainlink remains the dominant oracle provider regarding total value secured (TVS). According to DefiLlama, Chainlink held approximately 46% of the total value secured across oracle providers in October 2024, while Pyth held roughly 9.5%.
