Banks dont move on their own. If they do - they Russia themselves and fragment and die. Universal interoperability - invisible infrastructure - synchronized trust - removing inefficient capital requirements - unlocking illiquid assets - these are the things missing from the Global Financial System. Chainlink fixes the Global Financial System.

Interesting. Tokenize everything.

there is no pricing model for what is about to happen.

Some bangers from the SEC today: 1) buybacks do not make a commodity token into a security 2) liquid staking tokens for commodities are not securities sec.gov/about/divisions-offi…

*SEC STAFF ISSUES FAQS ON CRYPTO ASSET SECURITIES LAWS APPLICATION *SEC STAFF: TOKEN BUYBACKS ON FUNCTIONAL PROTOCOLS DO NOT CONSTITUTE MANAGERIAL EFFORTS *SEC STAFF: LIQUID STAKING TOKENS ARE DIGITAL COMMODITIES OR TOOLS, NOT SECURITIES *SEC STAFF: MAINTENANCE, ENHANCEMENTS, SYSTEM GRANTS NOT CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL MANAGERIAL EFFORTS *SEC STAFF: PROMOTING CRYPTO UTILITY WITHOUT PROFIT CLAIMS GENERALLY NOT AN INVESTMENT CONTRACT

At the Federal Reserve Fintech Conference, Chainlink's Sergey Nazarov joined leaders from BlackRock, Vanguard, and Sharplink to discuss the future of blockchain in traditional finance and the infrastructure bringing institutional assets onchain at scale. chainlinktoday.com/nazarov-t…

this is the most import story in crypto and global finance.

Watershed moment for finance

Quadrillions. That’s right.

CITI made that statement back in 2021. They followed it up in June calling Chainlink the interoperability standard for the tokenized Global Financial System. Along with @StanChart calling $LINK "the only end-to-end platform capable of supporting the full lifecycle of tokenised assets across both DeFI and TradFI" in August. One statement is noise. Multiple is signal.

We'll gravitate toward what's possible.

Public Service Announcement: The whole global financial system will run on blockchains. Everyone here is going to be in the blockchain industry. The only decision is how much you want to be ahead of that or behind.

Finance moving onchain is directly and uniquely bullish for Chainlink adoption, happy to explain 1. Chainlink has expanded far beyond price oracles. Saying Chainlink is primarily a price oracle would be like analyzing Amazon as primarily a bookstore, or Microsoft as primarily a spreadsheet software company. Chainlink is the only all-in-one platform offering data, interoperability, compliance, privacy, and orchestration, all core requirements for the issuance and distribution of institutional tokenized assets: nitter.net/ChainLinkGod/status/20… 2. As finance moves onchain, simply issuing a token on a blockchain is not sufficient. You need data oracles for NAV, corporate actions, reserve verification, etc. You need cross-chain oracles to transfer value and data between public and private chains (esp. as the cost of launching a chain drops to zero). You need compliance oracles for KYC/AML verification and various policy enforcements for regulated digital assets. You need privacy oracles to make data available onchain without revealing the underlying datasets/PII and while preserving data licensing restrictions. You need legacy-system oracles to enable institutions to access public/private chains through their existing enterprise systems and messaging standards. And you need orchestration oracles to enable institutions to establish complex business workflows that span multiple public/private chains, enterprise systems, and oracle services. Chainlink is the ONLY platform that offers all of these services, including packaged together into end-to-end solutions (e.g., DvP settlement, tokenized deposit workflows, etc.) 3. As for price oracles, as long as there are multiple trading/liquidity venues, multiple chains, and multiple CEXs, you need external price oracles that provide *full market coverage* by aggregating market data across all venues to raise manipulation costs. Otherwise, you introduce a significant attack vector. We have seen time and time again how using a single DEX pool as a price oracle has led to a dApp getting exploited/manipulated/rekt. There's no way to know whether a DEX/liquidity pool will keep consistent liquidity over time. As new DEX models appear and new trading venues launch, a pool that is liquid enough to use as an oracle today can be dangerously manipulable tomorrow as liquidity shifts. That is why Chainlink data has powered the vast majority of DeFi for the past 5+ years. Liquidity moving between venues becomes a non-issue, and builders can focus on their core business logic instead of building and maintaining price oracles Watch @Chainlink's presence at Swift's @Sibos conference next week, it should be very enlightening about why some of the world's largest financial institutions and market infrastructures have adopted Chainlink infrastructure Btw respect the takes you give on L1 chain commoditization/overvaluation, I may not agree with where capital will flow or what L1 assets will reprice to, but this thesis is obviously a blind spot and emotional topic for many market market participants
