Morph Integrates Chainlink CCIP as Exclusive Cross-Chain Standard for BGB

• Morph adopts Chainlink CCIP as BGB’s exclusive cross-chain standard for secure transfers.
• CCIP ensures predictable, auditable, and institutional-grade cross-chain BGB movement.
• Morph’s Emerald upgrade standardizes future assets, enabling global multi-chain payments.

Morph is integrating Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) as the exclusive way to move Bitget Token (BGB) across blockchains. This single standard aims to make BGB transfers more secure, predictable, and scalable, ensuring consistent liquidity as Morph grows.

Building Institutional-Grade Cross-Chain Reliability

Reliable cross-chain transfers are crucial for institutional adoption as on-chain payments and multi-chain settlements grow. Bitget CEO Gracy Chen says using Chainlink CCIP for BGB creates a trusted, auditable framework for enterprises.

“Cross-chain reliability isn’t just a technical goal — it’s essential for institutional adoption,” Chen said. “By aligning BGB with Chainlink CCIP and the Morph network, we’re setting a clear, auditable framework that enterprises can trust.”

With CCIP as the sole cross-chain layer, Morph reduces fragmentation and lowers risks from multiple bridge systems, which have historically caused problems in cross-chain setups.

Strengthening BGB’s Role as Morph’s Settlement Asset

Notably, the CCIP integration solidifies BGB’s role as the gas and settlement token on the Morph network. Over half of BGB’s original 2 billion supply has been permanently burned, and the Morph Foundation currently holds more than 220 million BGB. Morph also plans to move over 50% of circulating BGB onto its network.

Colin Goltra, CEO of Morph, emphasized that secure cross-chain movement is foundational to BGB’s roadmap. In his words:

“With supply migration and regular burning on Morph as core parts of the BGB roadmap, Chainlink CCIP plays a critical role in enabling secure, scalable cross-chain movement that supports real-world payment use cases.”

Enabling Unified, Multi-Chain Payments

As on-chain payments grow, moving value across blockchains has become essential for stablecoins, merchants, FX systems, and treasuries. Chainlink CCIP lets Morph synchronize liquidity across networks, creating a smooth, unified settlement experience.

Developers can now transfer stablecoins, BGB, and related data between Morph and major blockchains in a single coordinated transaction. Programmable instructions make new payment and settlement workflows possible, safely and efficiently.

Chainlink Labs sees Morph’s move as a model for institutional interoperability. Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs, said:

“By adopting Chainlink CCIP as the exclusive cross-chain interoperability solution for BGB issuance and transfer, Morph is defining how assets should move across chains at an institutional scale.”

Emerald Upgrade and Future Asset Standards

Morph’s upcoming Emerald upgrade will build on CCIP, introducing new token standards and settlement tools. BGB secured by CCIP becomes a blueprint for future institutional assets, including stablecoins and payment-linked digital instruments. These standardized, verifiable models help fintechs and global payment providers operate consistently across markets.

Morph is already collaborating with payment providers, stablecoin issuers, and fintechs on the first wave of CCIP-enabled integrations. 

With CCIP now live, Morph is creating the foundation for secure, programmable, globally interoperable money, bringing on-chain payments closer to mainstream adoption.
