Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan on Chainlink:
“If you talk to the average institutional investor they’ve never heard of Chainlink”
“If Chainlink were a software company in a traditional C-corp wrapper, it would be one of the hottest tech plays in the market right now”
Historically, the best investments were the ones few understood at the time, yet had enormous market opportunities
To me the information asymmetry around $LINK is what makes it such an asymmetric bet

At Link:NYC, @SergeyNazarov covers how the adoption of Chainlink, including its new end-to-end solutions, is set to generate increasing revenue
This value is cycled back into the network through the Reserve (on-market LINK buybacks) to ensure network security and growth long term
Sergey touches on how $LINK plays a critical role in the network, being used to align NOPs, contribute to security via staking, and acquired by TradFi users to pay for services
Sergey emphasized that increasing Chainlink adoption is *not* about maximizing any enterprise value or driving value to any equity, but that the LINK token is at the center of the network
> DTCC Tokenization Service goes live

Definitely a coincidence. Carry on marines 😏
The DTCC Tokenization Service is now live, and this is only the beginning.

“Really, we’re a security company” — Sergey Nazarov
Security was always the biggest most, just few realized it til recently
Chainlink has never gotten exploited. This is one of their most impressive feats and will be a major reason TradFi ends up trusting the protocol

NEW: @OpenZeppelin, which S&P Global agreed to acquire, embeds Chainlink into its tooling standard used by the vast majority of the industry, including BlackRock, WisdomTree, Franklin Templeton, and more.
Chainlink CCIP, CRE, & ACE are now built into the tools behind $38+ trillion in transferred value.
Today we’re announcing a strategic partnership with @chainlink
Chainlink CCIP and ACE are now natively embedded across OpenZeppelin tooling, giving institutions and developers one trusted foundation for moving assets and operations onchain.

Financial institutions borrow against securities to fund their operations.
Chainlink Fulcrum brings that capability to tokenized assets, enabling institutions to access financing and manage collateral 24/7 across blockchains.
Chainlink Labs’ Ryan Lovell shows it end to end ↓

DTCC settles quadrillions in securities every year.
Sergey broke down where their collateral chain stands and what it still takes to get to real 24/7 markets:
DTCC picked Chainlink’s CRE to coordinate the collateral workflow, the data, and the cross-chain movement.
They ran the diligence and went public with it. Next is critical mass.

@Citi was right.
25% of institutional collateral sits idle. Citi says that costs the average Tier 1 firm ~$346M a year.
Chainlink just launched Fulcrum to put idle collateral to work.
The problem and how Chainlink solves this ↓
Introducing Chainlink Fulcrum: the gateway connecting the world’s largest financial institutions to onchain financing.
As tokenized assets and financing venues expand across public and private blockchains, institutions need to mobilize collateral and access liquidity without building bespoke infrastructure for every market.
Chainlink Fulcrum solves this with an end-to-end solution that separates where financing agreements are managed from where cash & collateral settle. Counterparties define the eligible assets, financing terms, and the settlement networks through which the assets move.
For institutions, this unlocks:
• Faster collateral mobilization that enables intraday financing, including on holidays and weekends.
• 24/7 risk management through automated collateral coverage checks throughout the day, extending beyond end-of-day processes.
• Greater capital efficiency by making assets across networks available for financing, helping institutions free up balance sheet capacity.
• Lower operational complexity through reusable workflows that connect existing systems across public and private blockchains.
The solution combines multiple aspects of the Chainlink platform, including the Chainlink Runtime Environment (orchestrates transaction lifecycle), CCIP (cross-chain data and asset transfers), and Data Streams (collateral valuation data).
Chainlink Fulcrum is designed to serve all market participants, including banks, dealers, prime brokers, agent lenders, custodians, hedge funds, pension funds, insurers, sovereign wealth funds, money market funds, asset managers, tokenized fund and stablecoin issuers, and corporate treasuries.
Each can lend, borrow, or mobilize collateral on terms that fit its mandate and risk parameters.
Fulcrum is in the process of being integrated with leading TradFi environments, providing a single platform where participants can compare financing terms and route transactions to the venue of their choice, where the agreement is executed and governed.
This is a foundational step toward global financing markets, where an asset’s utility extends beyond the network on which it was issued.

At @Sibos 2026, DTCC’s Dan Doney and Sergey Nazarov present how @The_DTCC is collaborating with Chainlink to advance 24/7 collateral management.
DTCC’s Collateral AppChain, a shared infrastructure platform for collateral, will leverage the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) and Chainlink data standard and is designed to support near real-time collateral management across financial markets and blockchains to support and enable:
• Key orchestration, data and automation capabilities
• The seamless pairing of asset prices, valuations and movement
• Enhanced capabilities for managing collateral-related market risk
The DTCC Collateral AppChain is expected to launch in Q1 2027.
Chainlink will provide:
• Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) for orchestration across systems
• CCIP, which enables interoperability and cross-chain messaging capabilities across participating blockchain networks and the DTCC Collateral AppChain
• Data Feeds which provide verifiable market data needed for valuation

Chainlink’s institutional momentum continues at @Sibos 2026 🔥
Chainlink is now the connectivity layer between banks and Swift's blockchain ledger
Institutions across the Swift network can read and write to the ledger through Chainlink, unlocking tokenized deposits and 24/7 cross-border payments
CRE's self-signing model let banks keep full control of their transaction signing keys while CRE orchestrates the workflows
Existing security governance, approval processes, and operating models all stay intact
$LINK THE WORLD
TODAY: Chainlink announced it is working to enable financial institutions to connect to @swiftcommunity’s blockchain ledger through the Chainlink platform.
Swift moves the equivalent of the world's GDP roughly every three days ⬇️
