Page 59 of ICMA's June 2026 report.
Swift is hosting a panel together with the international capital markets association (ICMA) about scaling tokenized assets on the 10th of september 👀
The distributed ledger was the first step. Expansion to other DLT usecases is the next one and @chainlink will be the one powering this!

It's called Chainlink
I asked John from @MilkRoadDaily why the $LINK Marines have remained one of crypto's strongest communities for nearly a decade.
His answer:
"They see the future that we're building towards."
"They understand that where we are today is not where we're going."
"They have a lot of conviction that comes from within."
"They're not trading based on emotion. They're not trading based on pump and dumps and speculation."
"They have the patience to stay with their investments while it plays out."

Some tiny, no-name, small-AUM outfit called @BankofAmerica just had a patent issued. Today. Deepfake defense for video, on a blockchain.
I threaded the application in August.
The USPTO just signed it, and the $LINK citations inside weren’t stripped. They were granted. 🧵👇

@BankofAmerica just published a patent for authenticating video with blockchain. Deepfake defense, filed Feb 2025.
Buried at [0101]: @chainlink, named as the rails for cross-chain verification.
BofA isn't ignoring $LINK.
Their engineers wrote it into the spec. 🧵🚨⚠️

I asked @BitcoinJesusETH what the most underrated part of @chainlink is, and here's what he said:
"The most important and exciting thing is what they're not allowed to say publicly."
"There's still a hangover from the Gary Gensler era of the SEC."
"They're staying quiet about certain things. That's a strategic move. It's not because there's not a plan."
"The proof is in the partnerships and the products."
"Real capital, real partners, and real adoption."
"Whatever is not being said… use your imagination."
Snuck in a sit-down chat with @BitcoinJesusETH of @milkroaddaily at LINK NYC, with a beautiful view as the backdrop.
We talked @Chainlink, TradFi, and what comes next:

01:44 Most underrated aspact of Chainlink?
03:32 What will Chainlink power in the next 5 years?

06:45 Why is the Link Marine community so strong?
08:12 Explain Chainlink like I am 12
09:46 What inning are we at?
10:44 Is this what crypto needed?

The $LINK token remains CRITICAL for the @Chainlink network to function and grow.
As the network grows and expands, so will revenue flow back into the token.
Growth and expansion is CRITICAL.
Both will lead to growth of token needs and appreciation.
It's crystal clear.
People are still thinking too small with respect to where this is all going. Most still don't really comprehend what Chainlink building the world's 'trust network' actually means.

🚨Still think YOUR chain is about to win?
Here are some clips from institutions talking about making their chains.
Let's just say, they are definitely gonna need @chainlink for that.

👀 6 Incredibly bullish quotes from Sergey Nazarov's interview with The Rollup ⚡️
1. Chainlink's goal is revenue (5:05)
"Our goal is in fact really to build a successful global standard that generates large amounts of revenue that can then be reused to improve the standard, improve the solutions built out of the standard, and kind of grow adoption, because that revenue is used and reused to make a better and better, more secure system."
2. Swift... DTCC... How about connecting them together? (10:38)
"I have to be careful here because they're not connected yet just to be clear… I would really love to connect them… That would mean that the cash leg… and the security side of the traditional financial markets are now interoperable. And that would unlock, I think, a huge amount of volume… We have all the technology to do this."
3. The global endgame (15:42)
"Connect the DTCC AppChain to the Swift Ledger to something from Euroclear… and now all the capital in Singapore and all the capital in Dubai can use all the stuff in the US seamlessly… If I want global distribution, I need a tokenized thing. I need the tokenized thing on CCIP."
4. Next-level cross-border transactions, powered by Chainlink (16:32)
"The really next level thing will be… international cross border transactions that you can't even do through the traditional financial system… everybody will realize that if I want global distribution I need a tokenized thing… on CCIP."
5. Chainlink for AI Agents is coming (20:17)
"We're actually gonna have something coming up which is one of those focus solutions, specifically for agents to efficiently use DeFi… securities lending and gain access to real-world assets… It's not something we've announced yet… something we'll have more on soon, I think probably this year."
6. No more legacy s*** (26:47)
"When a family office or a hedge fund or a pension fund calls up their service provider or their bank or their asset manager and says, hey listen, I really don't want this legacy s***… I need this next level blockchain tokenized stuff. That's when we as Chainlink and the DTCC and Swift… have done their job."

The conversations at $LINK:NYC will echo through the global financial system for decades, shaping how money and assets move, and establishing Chainlink as the critical neutral infrastructure that makes it all possible
Thanks for asking. Having hundreds of banking and capital markets leaders at a Chainlink event is helpful for the present but also future months and years. Behind the scenes, there were dozens of meetings with current / potential partners during the event. We had multiple new announcements during the week some of which have already prompted inbound requests from other firms. Sergey discussed the importance of LINK during his keynote including the expectation that some future partnership announcements would include purchasing, holding, and paying with the token. Also got some helpful feedback from community members during the event that we already started discussing later that day. More things I am sure but those are some quick Halloween thoughts.

I was at Link:NYC. Want my honest take?
It’s all true… every hyperbolic post about Chainlink and every winner-take-all hypothetical framed around their work.
Everything $LINK marines have been telling you has actually been spot on all along.
I cannot tell you if that means a violent repricing next month, next quarter or next year but it’s coming and it’s inevitable.
Act accordingly.
LinkDrake retweeted
It’s already done.
The senior people at CLL talk like it's already done.
After a day of @The_DTCC, @swiftcommunity, @BlackRock and @Polymarket on one stage, I tend to agree.

I think a lot of people misunderstood what Sergey said about the $LINK token during his keynote at LINK:NYC.
This post from @ChainLinkGod and rewatching the keynote a few times really help clarify his message.
Sergey stated: "Chainlink is not focused on driving enterprise value or increasing equity. It's about increasing the adoption and usefulness of the Chainlink network as an impartial global infrastructure, and the $LINK token plays a critical role in that."
Many interpreted this as Chainlink prioritizing adoption over driving value to the token. But that’s not what he said.
He explained that the $LINK token is critical to the network, and as network usage scales, the utility and importance of $LINK will scale with it.
The token was never meant to represent equity in Chainlink Labs. It’s a commodity with a crucial role in the ecosystem.
He even reinforced this by saying: "You will see more and more cases where TradFi users acquire the token to use the system properly."
➡️This directly implies that the network is specifically designed around the utility of the $LINK token.
Chainlink spent years building a secure, reliable network. Now, they are shifting focus toward building end-to-end solutions to drive revenue and expand the network, a growth that goes hand-in-hand with increased $LINK usage.
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
LinkDrake retweeted
🚨 Sergey talks $LINK @ Link:NYC
"the LINK token does play a critical role in that, because the LINK token does help operate the network, it helps power the nodes, it's useful for staking, and I think you'll see more and more cases where even TradFi users are getting the LINK token to use the system properly."
