DTCC AND CHAINLINK AT SIBOS 2026
DTCC's Dan Doney and @SergeyNazarov presented how @The_DTCC is collaborating with Chainlink to advance 24/7 collateral management.
DTCC's Collateral AppChain provides shared infrastructure near real-time collateral management across financial markets and blockchains.
“The problem being solved is the fragmentation of data, how everybody connects to move collateral and settle transactions, and the different systems that need to talk to each other but cannot do so quickly enough to allow intraday collateral movement.” - Sergey Nazarov
DTCC’s Collateral AppChain will leverage the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) for orchestration between those systems and data sources, and CCIP which enables the movement of assets, value, and liquidity to and from the AppChain.
"You finally have a reliable and legally binding ledger from the DTCC that everyone can rely on, just like they rely on the DTCC now. That's a very powerful thing that I think the capital markets have been waiting for, where they can't get that from just any chain because those guarantees with the DTCC are fundamentally different" Nazarov also added.
The DTCC Collateral AppChain is expected to launch in Q1 2027.

NEW: @Figure is bringing the $1.6+ trillion U.S. auto loan market to DeFi, powered by Chainlink.
Backed by auto loans from Figure, @HastraFi’s AUTO markets are now live and secured by Chainlink Data Streams on @kamino.
AUTO is officially live on Solana.
• Backed by U.S. auto loans originated by Agora
• Delivered to DeFi through @Figure Forge
• Looping/lending strategies now available across @kamino
• Vault curation by @SentoraHQ ; market making via @RockawayX
• Powered by @Chainlink Data Streams
From a single asset that redefined an RWA category, to a multi-asset marketplace for onchain yield.

If the DTCC is using Chainlink for nav data, CCIP for cross-chain, Chainlink ACE powers the compliance and identity features of the ERC-3643 token standard that the DTCC is standardizing on (so far), and Chainlink CRE is the orchestration layer of the DTCC collateral Appchain (and probably most smart contract workflows from here on out), how do you just connect to a chain like the XRPL that none of this runs on?
Everyone thinks it’s LINK “maxis” that just hate in XRP, but Chainlink is critical infrastructure the entire industry is converging around. Just because the DTCC is chain agnostic doesn’t mean it can feasibly deploy to ANY chain by design. The amount of retooling on the backend for DTCC to deploy to XRPL is prob exclusionary.

The future of onchain finance is being built across many chains.
And Chainlink is connecting them all.
DTCC 🤝 Chainlink
DTCC is building the multichain future. No single blockchain can power global markets—interoperability is non-negotiable. We enable data and value to move seamlessly across networks, without single-chain dependency. Built for scale. Built for resilience.

Traditional and tokenized assets represent the same underlying asset.
Tokenization rethinks how that asset is recorded, transferred, and accessed across markets.

@sama if we could have traded a token attached to the value of TCP/IP, SMTP, HTTP how would those graphs look and what would they suggest?

🐼⬡ @chainlink fam,
I'm currently sitting at 7,7xx followers.
7777 feels like one of those numbers that belongs in the Chainlink ecosystem.
I've spent the last year building:
• 50+ institutional evidence sources
• 60+ videos
• 20+ infographics
• Millions of impressions explaining why infrastructure matters
If my work has helped you understand Chainlink, tokenization, CCIP, CRE, or the future of finance...
Help me reach 7,777.
Tag one person who should follow @TheLinkPanda.
Let's make the golden number happen. ⬡

"The promise of tokenized finance is not simply that assets can exist in digital form. The promise is that assets can move across institutions, networks, venues, agents, and settlement environments while remaining acceptable to regulated parties.
That is the hard part.
Control without portability becomes an internal database.
Portability without control becomes unmanaged risk.
The institutional future requires both."
This $LINK marine gets it

The crypto industry has long had an irrational obsession with L1 gas coins and ignored other categories of infrastructure
Of the top 20 crypto assets by market cap:
• 75% are L1 chains
• 15% are stablecoins
• Only one asset is non-chain infra
Weighted by market cap, the imbalance is even more extreme:
• 88% L1 coins
• 11% stablecoins
• 0.3% non-chain infra
This is a temporary phenomenon, blockchains are increasingly becoming commoditized infrastructure, and yet all of them depend on Chainlink $LINK for real-world institutional use cases beyond speculation
The DTCC (the legally mandated settlement infra underpinning U.S. capital markets) choosing Chainlink to power 24/7 collateral mobility on the DTCC's blockchain should be a wake up call for everyone
The institutions are here, and 1) they're building their own blockchains and 2) they're choosing Chainlink for secure data, cross-chain, privacy, compliance, and orchestration capabilities
The current crypto market cap distribution reflects current sentiment not long-term value capture
People who underwrite what chains are worth or what they will "win" just entirely ignore the elephants in the room.
There has not been a single post from any crypto pundit, VC, blogger, researcher, podcaster, timeline shitposter that has underwritten a recent chain valuation which incorporates DTCC's Collateral Appchain or Swift's payment chain into for their model and thesis.
DTCC, which settles and clears $4 quadrillion per year for all US capital markets, has their own chain, which is launching Q4 this year, for global collateral markets.
SWIFT, which enables about $5 trillion in payments per day, is also launching their chain this year for cross-border payments.
These are not new, random VC funded L1s trying to solve a "cold-start" problem. They're not looking for random developers nor interested in the 14th forked copy paste of Uniswap. They're not going to be doing an airdrop or paying social media slop merchnats for attention whoring.
These are the largest financial market infrastructure in the world, transitioning their *EXISTING* operations, which are of a size that dwarfs the entire crypto industry by orders of magnitude, simply onchain.
There is, however, a protocol, Chainlink, and a platform, Chainlink Runtime Environment, that is actually going to be used by these permissioned chains in production, so you can actually purchase exposure to this behemoths.
The ticker is $LINK.

🟩There are a lot of blockchains.
🚨There is only one @chainlink $LINK
That’s the part I keep coming back to.
@The_DTCC can use Stellar, Canton, their own AppChain, or whatever chain comes next. Good. That’s what a multi-chain financial system looks like.
@swiftcommunity can keep its messaging rails. Banks can keep their legacy systems. Institutions can use public chains, private chains, appchains, custodians, payment rails, tokenized assets, collateral systems, and whatever else they need.
All of that still has to connect.
It needs verified data. It needs interoperability. It needs orchestration. It needs secure execution across different systems that were never built to talk to each other.
That is where $LINK sits.
Swift has already shown Chainlink can connect its existing global financial network to tokenized assets across multiple blockchains.
DTCC is now leveraging Chainlink CRE and the Chainlink data standard.
CCIP connects value across chains.
CRE coordinates the workflows.
This is why I don’t care when one chain gets a headline or when $LINK price action gets boring.
A blockchain can get replaced.
The need for Chainlink does not go away.
Chainlink Labs isn’t a public stock I can buy.
$LINK is how I get exposure to the network.
Chainlink is the best infrastructure in crypto, and the market is barely catching up.
That’s what is available to me, so that’s what I’m buying.
I know what I own. 🦾 Stop chimping out!

DTCC is using Chainlink 100X more than the two chains you listed off.
Chainlink's protocol and platform, Chainlink Runtime Environment, is actually integrated directly into DTCC's primary chain, their own DTCC Collateral Appchain to build all of their workflows for collateral management.
Those other chains only capture activity that spills over off of DTCC's chain.
.@The_DTCC explains how #Chainlink enables the combined transfer of value and data across hundreds of blockchain networks, supporting the transition to near instantaneous settlement within financial markets.
