Over $7.2 billion migrates from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP

Mantle is moving its Bybit-built $2.5 billion MNT Super Portal from LayerZero to Chainlink’s CCT standard between July 9 and 15, joining other projects in a broader cross-chain infrastructure shift since May.

Fact Check
Multiple independent sources corroborate every core element of the claim. CoinDesk confirms over $7.2 billion has migrated from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP with Mantle as the latest entrant. Cryptobriefing independently confirms the Bybit-built ~$2.5B Super Portal migration to Chainlink's CCIP/Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard and the $7.2B total since May. Odaily's flash news adds a third corroboration of the $2.5B figure and CCT standard. The specific July 9-15 window is consistent with the July 9, 2026 publication date and the description of a temporary Portal suspension. No conflicting evidence was found.

Summary

More than $7.2 billion in cross-chain and wrapped assets has migrated from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP since May, according to Chainlink, with Mantle joining the shift by moving its Bybit-built Super Portal, which supports MNT transfers across its more than $2.5 billion ecosystem. Mantle said the migration to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Token standard will strengthen security, give it direct control over token transfer settings and help expand MNT to additional blockchains. The Super Portal will be temporarily suspended during the July 9-15 transition, and users do not need to take any action. Chainlink and CoinDesk said projects including Kelp, Lombard, Solv Protocol, Virtuals, Re and Kraken’s tokenized assets have also moved, with Kelp and Lombard each contributing more than $1 billion.
