This is why investing in AI without investing in $LINK is only a half measure. If you want agents to run, they'll need to have a framework to make money on it too. What do you think about that @JackPrescottX ?
Chainlink is at Sibos 2026, Sept 28 to Oct 1 in Miami. Where the world's largest financial institutions are discussing digital finance for AI-driven economies.

"Slowly then all at once." @SergeyNazarov You know what system makes tokenization possible. It's @chainlink .
BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Franklin Templeton says that the ENTIRE financial system will be ON-CHAIN. "24/7 markets are here. It will be SLOWLY then ALL AT ONCE."

Let's really tackle that question. First, what does tokenization mean? To put an asset with real world implications onto a digital ledger and bound it with it's actual data, within its legal framework and connected to it's rightful owners. This implicates it needs a gigantic amount of constant data. Price, compliance, identity, history, description, ... everything that makes that asset, that exact asset. Then, you'll need to make sure it can move within those digital environments, chain to chain, ledger to ledger without risking any hacks or false data. You'll also need as little friction as possible, payment abstraction, so anyone can pay in any coin they have. A company like that has never existed before, and the upside potential is beyond what we can imagine. @Chainlink does fit this description very well.
If the tokenization thesis is correct and trillions of dollars of new assets move onchain in the coming years, which company will benefit the most?

One of the most interesting discussions at the Philadelphia Fed’s 10th Annual Fintech Conference wasn’t about which stablecoin wins. It was about the infrastructure underneath them. The panel, “Tokenized Deposits or Stablecoins? How Banks and Crypto Issuers Shape the Future of Digital Payments,” brought together: • Greg Baer — President & CEO, Bank Policy Institute • Dan Fishman — Treasurer, Circle • Caitlin Long — Founder & CEO, Custodia Bank • Shawn Main — EVP & Chief Business Architect, Vantage Bank • Mike McCoy — Head of Digital Assets, GTM & Sales, Fiserv • Moderated by Brooke Ybarra — SVP, Innovation & Strategy, American Bankers Association The conversation moved toward AI-driven payments and a future where money may need to move autonomously across an increasingly fragmented financial system. One thing stood out: For this to work at scale, the financial infrastructure needs liquidity, interoperability and connectivity. Stablecoins, tokenized bank deposits, public blockchains, private networks and traditional banking systems aren't all going to magically become one network. They need infrastructure that connects them. And that's where this becomes particularly interesting from a Chainlink perspective. CCIP is being built for interoperability across networks. CRE for orchestrating workflows across blockchains and existing financial systems. Chainlink's data infrastructure provides pricing and verification, while its compliance stack is being developed for regulated transactions. And now AI agents are entering the equation too: software capable of initiating transactions, accessing services and making payments autonomously. The panel wasn't about @Chainlink. But the financial architecture they were describing increasingly resembles the exact problem Chainlink has spent years building toward. The future of money may be fragmented at the asset level, but interconnected at the infrastructure level. Watch here: 👀

Let's go! Time to end this scam! @LayerZero_Core must pay.
Today we filed a lawsuit against LayerZero and its co-founder, Bryan Pellegrino, to right the wrongs associated with the exploit of rsETH’s LayerZero bridge earlier this year. For more details, please refer to the statement below.

Chainlink at The Federal Reserve
🚨JUST NOW! “The Future of Blockchain in Traditional Finance” The Philadelphia Fed described it as a discussion about how institutions are integrating blockchain technology into traditional finance. Chainlink described the focus more specifically as what it takes to bring institutional assets onchain at scale and what infrastructure regulated markets require once those assets are onchain. The five people on stage were: @SergeyNazarov — Co-Founder, @Chainlink William Su — @BlackRock John Evans — @Vanguard @joechalom — @SharpLink Josh Lipsky — Atlantic Council, moderator Watch the full talk here!

$LINK This one stood out today. At the Philadelphia Fed’s 10th Annual Fintech Conference, BlackRock’s William Su was discussing tokenized assets and pointed to @Paxos bringing gold onchain with @chainlink. Think about the setting: @BlackRock. Chainlink. @Vanguard_Group . At a Federal Reserve conference. Discussing how real-world assets move onchain, with Chainlink being referenced as part of the infrastructure making it possible. Tokenization is no longer just a crypto narrative. TradFi is discussing the plumbing now.

ETFs are SWALLOWING $LINK Tradfi is coming for your stack. Are you going to give it?
Spot ETFs now hold 1 in every 45 $LINK tokens. Now on a four-day net inflow streak, the five spot @Chainlink ETFs now hold 2.2% of $LINK's current supply. The products are up +$13.02M in September already, reflecting bullish sentiment among institutional investors.

. @JaiMassari at the 10th Annual Fintech Conference today: “TradFi isn’t in the crypto castle YET.” "CLARITY was the drawbridge, and TradFi was getting ready to storm the castle." That analogy says a lot. Crypto spent years building inside the walls. Now some of the largest institutions in traditional finance are preparing to come in. The question is no longer whether TradFi is interested. It’s how and when they enter. $LINK $BTC $ETH

The CFTC has released updated crypto FAQs. Of note - more guidance on onchain recordkeeping (@chainlink can help with that) & tokenized collateral. I love to see these continued efforts to advance regulated clarity. cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressRele…
