Bridgetower, a blockchain and AI infrastructure company based in Boise, has partnered with Chainlink, the prominent oracle network, to tokenize the DOM X Arizona Copper-Gold Project, valued at $11 billion.
“Today’s live deployment marks a major step forward in how tokenized asset markets reach institutional scale,” Bridgetower CEO Cory Pugh said in a statement. “By integrating CRE natively into the BridgeTower Tokenization Platform, Bridgetower has moved beyond early integrations to deliver live production infrastructure supporting an $11 billion natural resource asset.”
Through the partnership, BridgeTower’s tokenization platform gains a full set of tools to manage the entire tokenization lifecycle, from reserve verification to cross-chain settlement to compliance checks.
The platform leverages Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) for cross-chain interoperability, Proof of Reserve for transparent reserve verification, and NAVLink for onchain net asset valuation.
The integrated system supports institutional-scale token issuance and distribution. The Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) acts as the coordination layer, handling compliance, valuation updates, reserve checks, and settlement processes.
As noted by Chainlink, investors can fund subscriptions using both traditional and digital currency payment rails, handled by Iron, a MoonPay company, with identity and anti-money laundering checks built directly into the platform.
Bridgetower was among the first adopters of Chainlink’s Runtime Environment when it launched in 2025, and the company has spent the months since advancing to a fully operational tokenized security deployment.
Bridgetower’s rapid progression from a CRE early adopter to deploying a live institutional tokenized asset shows increased institutional interest in tokenization, according to Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs.
“All the world’s largest financial institutions are watching tokenization right now, and they are looking for production evidence for powering assets at institutional scale. This is what it looks like when tokenized assets become core institutional infrastructure,” Eid stated.
Bridgetower and Chainlink are also collaborating on privacy-preserving workflows for institutional primary issuance, where ownership positions and participant data remain confidential while compliance and verification stay intact on-chain, the firms noted.
