I am increasingly convinced that the RWA trend is the early stages of getting the traditional financial system onto blockchains in a way that we have not seen yet. Some of the world's largest financial institutions are already putting tokenized funds on-chain, and I think we are just at the very early stages of this trend. Chainlink already powers many of the top RWAs and the need for both data and cross-chain working in one system is even greater here than it initially was in DeFi. There will also be tokenization platforms, which integrate the highly secure and widely adopted Chainlink data and cross-chain standards to power various key aspects of RWA tokenization e.g. Fireblocks collaboration The trillions of dollars in value that will flow into the RWA format makes it something that I see as likely to surpass the market capitalization of cryptocurrencies. Our industry may sometime soon be defined by RWAs more than it is by cryptocurrencies, similarly to how the internet was at one point about email, but then went on to be defined by more uses of information technology e.g. ecommerce. The influx of value into the blockchain format/RWAs will also feed a boom in DeFi, where many of those assets will be placed to generate greater yield. Slides: Video:

Great infrastructure is what underpins the technological trends that consumers/users end up experiencing in their daily lives, it will be the same for Web3. Web2 applications like Uber are a great example of how infrastructure has shaped Web2. This breakthrough ridesharing application wouldn’t have initially been possible without the infrastructure provided by Twilio APIs to message users, Google Maps to see location data, and payments APIs to pay drivers. The same story is now unfolding for Web3 applications enabled to come into existence by Chainlink. When Chainlink launched, DeFi had less value than what one application in DeFi holds today. With access to secure and reliable price data via Chainlink, DeFi grew to over $200 billion in just a few years; There is a clear pattern between the launch of oracle networks and the growth of advanced applications on a blockchain: Developers can’t build truly “smart” contract applications without the oracle infrastructure that Chainlink provides. As the Chainlink platform has expanded, I’ve been excited by the sheer amount of advanced features that developers are now able to put into their smart contracts by using Chainlink. It’s clear to me that giving Web3 developers reliable and extensive infrastructure is the best way to unlock the next leap forward for our industry and for the creation of a cryptographic truth-powered society. API and cross-chain connectivity through oracle advancements such as Chainlink Functions and CCIP represent additional new building blocks for the next wave of Web3 apps. CCIP is also something we are actively working with the capital markets/banking industry on adopting for enabling their systems to efficiently interact with hundreds of blockchains via a single integration. When Chainlink enables all the world’s systems to efficiently connect to multiple chains through a single, cryptographically-secured interface is when we will all see a large acceleration in the value that flows into our industry and the widespread adoption which that leads to. Thank you to Jacquelyn Melinek for hosting me on TechCrunch’s Chain reaction podcast, where I explore these concepts in more depth:

The 2008 financial crisis led to the creation of Bitcoin because toxic assets were created by a poorly managed financial system that left society with the costs. We have an opportunity to build a better financial system that is cryptographically guaranteed, transparent, and gives control of risk over to the parties that it affects most. Our work on Chainlink and CCIP seeks to accelerate the speed at which this world happens on-chain. From secure data delivery to decentralized compute and now cross-chain interoperability, Chainlink is protecting dApps and their end users to deliver the true value of smart contracts and DeFi: a fair, transparent and largely derisked global financial system. As CCIP becomes the most widely used connectivity standard, we will initially see two largely separate on-chain networks of value: one for institutional/bank chains and the existing public blockchain DeFi ecosystem. CCIP will eventually merge these two large ecosystems into a single on-chain financial system that secures the world’s value on the Internet of Contracts. Presentation: Slides:

Was very excited about this thoughtful conversation with Jonathan Ehrenfeld, Head of Strategy at Swift. I think it clearly showcases the large benefits of Swift as a private key signing infrastructure, financial standards organization and network for routing key financial messages/information across the capital markets, among many other key services it already provides. It is clear to me that for our industry to go to the next stage, we need to make sure that blockchains become compatible with the existing financial system. Chainlink has a key role to play in making that happen, by simplifying the connectivity of those traditional data, payment and compliance systems into all blockchains, as well as the connectivity of those blockchains between each other. There will continue to be more and more critical data, identity, payment, compliance and other key systems to be integrated into and across blockchains securely, which I feel Chainlink is in a unique position to address in ways no other system can.
