Bitwise and Coinbase executives back CCIP’s split model for real-world blockchain use

Executives from Bitwise and Coinbase endorsed Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and its split model for real-world blockchain use, citing adoption by major players including Coinbase and BitGo as evidence of its potential to reshape blockchain security and interoperability standards. The backing highlights CCIP’s positioning as a standard for secure cross-chain communication as institutional players move real-world assets onchain. The article did not disclose specific token prices, total value locked, volumes, market cap or funding figures. It matters because endorsement from major exchanges and custodians could accelerate CCIP’s adoption as an interoperability standard across chains and protocols. What to watch next is whether more institutions integrate CCIP and whether its split model gains traction in production deployments.
