NEW: ApeChain is deprecating its legacy cross-chain solution & migrating to Chainlink CCIP. CCIP is now becoming the canonical cross-chain infra across the entire Yuga Labs ecosystem, starting with its flagship @BoredApeYC use cases, ApeChain, & the APE token. Two communities. One ecosystem. One secure cross-chain standard.

The day has come. Today, leaders from DTCC, Swift, ICE, Fidelity, BlackRock, Bank of America, and many more take center stage at Link:NYC to discuss how global finance moves onchain. Watch live:

Congratulations to @The_DTCC on the launch of the DTCC Tokenization Service, a significant milestone in the modernization of global financial market infrastructure. The launch follows DTCC’s first-ever production trades of tokenized U.S. securities in July 2026, powered by Chainlink alongside more than 30 major institutions: • BlackRock • J.P. Morgan • Goldman Sachs • Vanguard • NYSE • Nasdaq • CME Group • Microsoft • State Street Investment Management • BNP Paribas Securities Corporation • Societe Generale • S&P Dow Jones Indices • Citadel Securities • FTSE Russell • Invesco • Broadridge • Tradeweb • + many more With quadrillions processed annually as critical infrastructure underpinning U.S. securities markets, DTCC is bringing tokenization to the American financial system. We look forward to continuing our work together in advancing 24/7 collateral workflows through the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) & data standard, accelerating institutional adoption of tokenized assets.

ROAD TO Link:NYC NEW: The Hong Kong Gold Exchange (HKGX), the world’s fourth-largest gold trading venue by volume, is bringing its gold-backed token to Chainlink CCIP. @goldzipxgz is integrating CCIP with @midaslabsxyz, enabling HKGX backed XGZ to move securely across blockchains.

Introducing Chainlink CustodySync, a new solution that lets qualified custodians give their institutional clients access to DeFi lending markets, all while assets remain securely in custody. With @Anchorage as the official launch partner, together we’re establishing a new standard for institutional DeFi. CustodySync keeps custody and lending systems in sync across the full lifecycle of a loan: → For custodians: faster time to market and lower operational overhead, with custodian-managed controls → For lending markets: independent, verifiable data and a consistent risk framework → For institutions: passive capital becomes productive capital More than $80 billion sits in DeFi lending markets. Meanwhile, the roughly $700 billion in digital assets under custody is less than 0.5% of all $250 trillion in traditional assets under custody. The opportunity to connect traditional institutional capital to onchain finance remains vast. Large institutions have lacked a secure way of accessing these markets. Regulations require many of them to keep their digital assets with a qualified custodian, a firm that meets specific requirements for holding assets on behalf of clients, and custody systems were never built for DeFi. Even when custody and lending systems are connected, inconsistent loan valuations can trigger premature liquidation or delayed liquidations, exposing borrowers and lenders to significant financial risk. @Anchorage, home to the first federally chartered digital asset bank in the U.S., is the first qualified custodian to adopt CustodySync, connecting its institutional clients to DeFi lending markets while their assets remain in regulated custody. Institutional capital no longer has to choose between the security of custody and the liquidity of DeFi. With Chainlink, it gets both.

Only 4 days left until Link:NYC. @DivesTech of Yorkville Ives & Co and Andrew McCormick of Chainlink Labs speak at Link:NYC. Dan is one of the most followed voices on tech and markets. He speaks on where AI and onchain finance converge. October 29, NYC.

.@chainlink is proud to partner with @hedera, @Aptos, @AvaLabs, and @StellarOrg in urging the SEC to codify its digital commodity framework. Builders need lasting certainty. Codifying this progress would be a meaningful step toward keeping America the home of digital asset innovation. H/t @jackson_mueller for leading this effort 🫡

Colin Cunningham at @chainlink explores how cross-chain interoperability can reduce liquidity fragmentation and connect digital asset ecosystems. Full episode recorded in partnership with LSEG Risk Intelligence at @Sibos Miami 2026:

Following an extensive security review, @kamino found Chainlink CCIP provides the secure-by-default architecture required to underwrite cross-chain collateral risk. Assets secured by CCIP qualify for higher borrowing limits & LTV ratios.

On October 29 we’re bringing senior leaders from across global finance to New York, behind closed doors: banks, exchanges, market infrastructure, asset managers, issuers, treasury teams and regulators. The Future runs on Chainlink. See you in NY!

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.

Security. Reliability. Institutional-grade compliance. These are the non-negotiable requirements for moving trillions in tokenized assets across blockchains. @SergeyNazarov explains why CCIP 2.0 became the interoperability standard for global finance.

Tokenizing a security is just the first step, the true value is unlocked when institutions can access 24/7 liquidity without selling assets. Chainlink Fulcrum unlocks this at scale, connecting tokenized securities to financing venues across any chain.

Sergey Nazarov says the one thing guiding him as a founder is the advancement of smart contracts: "My definition of a smart contract is not just code that runs on a chain." "It's code that can automate, in a cryptographically verified way, key operations." "We were working on smart contracts before Ethereum, before a lot of things that exist now." "The DTCC app chain is a moderately advanced smart contract." "It's going to get even more advanced, and Chainlink will provide more and more of what it needs." @SergeyNazarov @chainlink
