Both TronWeekly and Crypto Daily report that Chainlink has launched CCIP Vault Adapters, enabling ERC-4626 vaults to accept one-click deposits from users across more than 80 blockchains. They agree on the key feature of maintaining strategies and accounting on a single chain while facilitating cross-chain deposits. However, TronWeekly provides additional detail on the specific DeFi platforms - Aave, Lombard, and Maple - that have adopted the infrastructure, while Crypto Daily focuses on the technical capability of cross-chain deposit functionality.
Chainlink has introduced CCIP Vault Adapters, a new infrastructure that allows DeFi vaults to accept deposits from users across more than 80 different blockchain networks. This development is designed to simplify cross-chain operations by enabling one-click deposits while keeping strategies and accounting on a single blockchain.
The adapters are built to support ERC-4626 vaults, which are becoming increasingly popular in the DeFi space for their standardized tokenized vault shares. By facilitating interoperability between various blockchain networks, the adapters aim to increase liquidity and accessibility for DeFi users.
Multiple outlets, including TronWeekly and Crypto Daily, confirm that 
Aave, Lombard, and Maple are among the first platforms to adopt this new infrastructure. These platforms have a combined total value locked (TVL) of over $21 billion, according to DeFiLlama, indicating the significant potential impact of this development on the DeFi ecosystem.
The launch comes at a time when Chainlink's native token, LINK, is facing resistance around the $14.50-$15 price range. Despite a slight 0.57% decline in the past 24 hours, LINK's price of $12.86 and market cap of $9.86 billion reflect its position as a key player in the crypto market.
The broader crypto market remains relatively stable with a total market cap of $2.87 trillion. 
Bitcoin is up 0.30% in the last 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed Index stands at 61, indicating a 'Greed' sentiment. The adoption of Chainlink's CCIP Vault Adapters by major DeFi platforms could influence LINK's price dynamics in the coming weeks.
Since this brief published about 37 hours ago, Chainlink (LINK) has moved from $12.86 to $12.86 — +0.00%.
The chart plots LINK's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 LINK ≈ ₹1,341.36 (about $12.86), down 1.1% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 7.7% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
