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:

One of Chainlink's core value props is that it is a neutral technology platform that does not compete with its customers Specifically, Chainlink is not a blockchain, and does not compete with blockchains Rather, Chainlink enhances the utility of all public/private chains by providing the oracle services their ecosystems need to succeed long-term This neutrality is why Chainlink has *thousands* of blockchain, Web3, and TradFi partners who rely on Chainlink for critical functionalities including: - Onchain data delivery - Cross-chain interoperability - Automated compliance - Privacy-preserving compute - Legacy system integration - Multi-system workflow orchestration As the cost and friction of launching a blockchain continues to drop toward zero, the number of public/private chains that exist will expand from hundreds today to thousands in the future If a cross-chain provider wants to pivot by launching their own blockchain and begin competing with Ethereum, Solana, Canton, and all of their existing blockchain partners, I wish them luck on that That’s not the game Chainlink is playing While blockchains fiercely compete amongst each other to become the transactional database layer, Chainlink wins regardless of which chains are used For Chainlink, every new blockchain introduced to the market is all the more justification for why organizations need Chainlink as their orchestration layer to manage the complexity That’s why financial market infrastructure providers like Swift, DTCC, Euroclear, and more have adopted Chainlink, they understand the financial system needs an orchestration layer To emphasize my point, here is a clip from DTCC executives explaining how the rapidly growing number of blockchains is why their partnership with Chainlink is so important

Virtuals Protocol is officially migrating to Chainlink CCIP. For agent infrastructure, 99% security is not enough. As part of hardening our infrastructure, we are upgrading our cross-chain stack from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP. We have evaluated that CCIP strengthens the foundation behind Virtuals with the highest level of cross-chain security as we build the trusted economic layer for agents. This enables the most secure agent infrastructure stack to enable agents to manage inference, cards, email, payments, services, commerce, and onchain value.

The White House Digital Asset Summit was an inflection point for the blockchain industry. It is a key step toward accomplishing President Donald J. Trump’s objective of the U.S. becoming the “crypto capital of the world,” which will drive major innovation in the blockchain industry not only in the U.S. but on a global scale. Sergey Nazarov shared his takeaways from the event: • The cryptocurrency and stablecoin markets have reached a sufficient size where they cannot be ignored by governments. For example, stablecoins consist of 2-5% of the U.S. treasuries market by utilizing them as reserves. • The main courses of action in supporting these markets include Bitcoin and digital asset stockpiles; regulations that enable DeFi, Fintech, and TradFi to participate in onchain markets; and making the U.S. the leader in digital asset infrastructure and the number one place where digital assets are created. • For the U.S. to be a leader in crypto, it needs to be the place where base (original) assets are generated, which are then repackaged and sold around the world. Doing so requires creating highly reliable assets that are accessible across all blockchains and embedded with automated compliance. • Chainlink uniquely supports these objectives by allowing various information about assets to be proven (e.g., Proof of Reserve), thereby making them highly reliable. Furthermore, Chainlink can connect tokenized assets to all blockchains via the CCIP standard as well as connect assets and smart contracts to various data points such as identity to automate compliance. The Chainlink standard is ready to make blockchains, smart contracts, and oracle networks the infrastructure powering the global financial system.

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. You can hear my and Jon's views in the full podcast here:

In case you missed it, Chainlink $LINK's legendary founder Sergey Nazarov shared three key trends & insights to help you stay on top of the unpredictable crypto markets... BULLISH ON SECURITY: The industry is officially over "disguised 1-of-1" bridges. With over $4B migrated to CCIP in just weeks, giants like Kraken, Lido, and Lombard are proof that elite security isn't optional anymore, it’s a whole new standard. BUILDING IN THE DARK: Bear markets are for builders. Chainlink is leveraging the quiet to roll out game-changing primitives like verifiable confidential compute (CRE) and advanced collateral management, primed to explode when the noise returns. THE GREAT TRADFI DECOUPLING: Tokenization is no longer tied to crypto price action. With DTCC, State Street, Fidelity, and SGX actively integrating Chainlink, LINK is quietly becoming the infrastructure merging Wall Street and DeFi into one global financial system.

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:

The problem: Blockchains lack privacy by default. Their transparency enhances trust, but for institutions managing proprietary strategies and sensitive client information, it’s a major barrier to large-scale adoption. The solution: The Chainlink privacy standard enables private smart contracts at scale on any blockchain. How it works: Computations run in trusted execution environments (TEEs) to achieve privacy and high performance, while decentralized oracle networks and advanced cryptographic techniques provide enhanced security. This ensures sensitive data and business logic remain fully confidential while still having verifiability that all actions were executed exactly as intended. The result: Privacy is enabled. Trust is preserved. Scale is achieved. Just use Chainlink.

At Sibos 2025, key leaders from Swift, DTCC, and Euroclear joined Sergey Nazarov to discuss Phase 2 of the global corporate actions initiative led by Chainlink. In the initiative, Chainlink brought together 24 industry-leading organizations ranging from major financial market infrastructures to banks and asset managers to demonstrate the success of creating Unified Golden Records that standardize and automate corporate actions data. Using the Chainlink platform for orchestration (CRE) and interoperability (CCIP), blockchains as auditable data records, and AI to transform unstructured inputs into structured information, the technical solution was able to produce near 100% data accuracy across all evaluated corporate actions. Confirmed reports were transformed into ISO 20022-compliant messages and transmitted to the Swift Network via CRE, while CCIP distributed reports across DTCC’s blockchain ecosystem and multiple other public and private blockchains. “This is the furthest we’ve ever been in trying to [solve corporate actions], and it’s thanks to the work that Chainlink has done in bringing together the leadership and using your data-savvy approaches to all of that.” — Nadine Chakar, Global Head of DTCC Digital Assets.

We’ve added a protocol documentation feature to the contract agent of Wayfinder Foundation so people can build contracts that interact with protocols without needing to drop all the contracts into the chat. The agent has a knowledge base of contracts and protocol docs, so users can make cool, complicated things more easily. To start, it supports Chainlink price oracles, LayerZero OFTs, Moonwell for lending, and Aerodrome for swaps and liquidity on Base and more. You can also create multiple contracts in the same session, and the agent will help plan out what goes in each one. We can add support for other protocol documentation over time - $PROMPT holders will be able to vote on which ones to prioritize next. Right now this feature is still being tested, and the contract shown here is just an illustrative example. It’s an overcollateralized stablecoin: users deposit ETH, it gets wrapped and deposited into Moonwell as WETH to earn yield, and they can mint stablecoins up to a value threshold checked against the ETH/USD Chainlink oracle. If the value of their collateral drops too far below their borrowing power, they can be liquidated. There are some rough edges the deployer can work through using simulations to guide them.

TradFi and DeFi Converged at SmartCon 🤝🏽 SmartCon 2025 proved that the gap between Traditional Finance and DeFi is closing. We were proud to be an integral part of this convergence, demonstrating how is utilizing the Chainlink standard to build the next generation of institutional-grade liquid staking. Here are three ways we are evolving the protocol: 1.Building the Onchain LST Index: As revealed in our SmartCon talk, we are building the industry's first Liquid Staking Token (LST) Index. This product aggregates the best of DeFi, powered by Chainlink’s secure infrastructure. 2.Scaling with CRE: We are among the first to adopt the Chainlink Runtime Environment. This orchestration layer is critical for automating the complex cross-chain workflows required to manage a robust LST Index at scale. 3.Future-Proofing with ACE: To truly marry TradFi and DeFi, compliance is key. We are preparing to integrate the Automated Compliance Engine (ACE) to ensure our products meet the strict regulatory standards required to welcome institutional capital on-chain.
