Fact Check
The statement is strongly supported by multiple high-authority sources. A primary source, Chainlink's official X (Twitter) account, explicitly states that SBI Digital Markets selected it as its 'exclusive infrastructure solution'. This direct claim from one of the two parties involved is the most significant piece of evidence. This is further corroborated by several secondary sources, including the highly credible Yahoo Finance, as well as Coingape and Kucoin, which all report the deal as being for an 'exclusive' infrastructure. The official press release from SBI Digital Markets confirms a 'strengthened partnership' and the integration of Chainlink's technology, which is entirely consistent with the statement. While the summary of the SBI press release does not itself use the word 'exclusive', it does not contradict the claim made by its partner, Chainlink, and the broader media reporting. The overwhelming and consistent evidence from a primary party and multiple reputable secondary sources makes the statement highly likely to be true.
