Kraken replaces LayerZero with Chainlink CCIP as cross-chain standard

Kraken has adopted Chainlink's (LINK) CCIP as its cross-chain standard, replacing LayerZero (ZRO), CoinDesk reported. The decision is part of a broader trend following a security incident where LayerZero's cross-chain bridge was exploited in the hack of Kelp DAO's rsETH, raising concerns about the protocol's security.
