Fresh Off $1B, United Stables Turns to Chainlink to Secure Its Multi-Chain Stablecoin

United Stables names Chainlink as its official oracle

United Stables has adopted Chainlink as the official data oracle and cross-chain infrastructure for its U stablecoin. The company announced the decision on 20 July 2026 through its official channel, and Chainlink Labs confirmed the integration the same day. The agreement covers decentralised pricing, automated reserve verification, and a planned cross-chain transfer layer for U. United Stables said the arrangement gives users, trading partners, and decentralised finance (DeFi) protocols a single security standard as the token expands across several networks.

Data Feeds and Proof of Reserve go live for U

Two Chainlink products are already active for U. Chainlink Data Feeds now supply decentralised market data across more than 20 lending protocols. Proof of Reserve provides automated, cryptographic verification of the collateral backing U in near real time. United Stables said DeFi applications can confirm the token's reserves directly through on-chain data, rather than relying on periodic disclosures. The company also plans to add Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to move U securely between blockchains and reduce friction when liquidity shifts across networks.

A security review drove the switch to Chainlink

United Stables said an industry-wide security review shaped the decision. The review flagged weaknesses in legacy bridging and centralised oracle systems, which the company linked to fragmented liquidity, unverified data, and systemic risk. United Stables selected Chainlink for its defence-in-depth design. The company aims to improve pricing accuracy and strengthen cross-chain infrastructure as U scales across BNB Chain, Ethereum, and TRON.

U stablecoin launched in December 2025 backed by cash

United Stables launched U in December 2025 as a fully backed, dollar-pegged digital asset on BNB Chain and Ethereum. The company designed the token for payments, DeFi, institutional settlement, trading, and artificial intelligence applications. According to United Stables, reserves are held one-to-one in cash and audited stablecoins, including USDC, USDT, and USD1, kept in segregated accounts with qualified custodians. The company said independent quarterly audits and on-chain Proof of Reserve verification support its reserve transparency.

U passed $1 billion in supply and $2.5 billion in volume

United Stables said U surpassed $1 billion in supply and recorded more than $2.5 billion in daily trading volume within roughly three months of launch. These figures are company-reported and cover activity across its live networks and listings on exchanges such as Binance, HTX, and KuCoin. United Stables said this growth prompted the higher security standard behind the Chainlink integration.

LINK trades near $8.69 at time of publication

LINK, the token that powers the Chainlink network, traded at $8.69 at the time of publication, up 3.95% over the past 24 hours (CoinPaprika, 21 July 2026). Its market capitalisation stood near $6.5 billion. The integration adds another named stablecoin issuer to Chainlink's growing institutional footprint. Earlier in July 2026, lending protocol Aave adopted CCIP as its default cross-chain standard, and United Stables said it expects to extend U to additional networks over time.
