⬡ Chainlink’s Q2 growth: Billions secured, trillions enabled, industry-leading adoption ⬡ • $7B+ migrates to CCIP • TradFi adoption: DTCC, SIX, & more • 10 prediction markets Chainlinked • Launched Project Pangea w/ 50+ banks • Reserve totals 4.5M+ LINK • $110B secured

NEW: @The_DTCC is integrating Chainlink data and orchestration standards into the DTCC’s Collateral AppChain. DTCC and Chainlink are advancing 24/7, near-real-time collateral workflows across global markets and blockchains.

We’re committed to working with @KelpDAO in strengthening the cross-chain security of rsETH by supporting their migration to Chainlink CCIP. DeFi will win.

Chainlink’s mission from day one: build the most secure & decentralized infra to safely scale DeFi into a trillion-dollar industry. This uncompromising approach to security is what makes Chainlink CCIP the industry-standard for cross-chain interop. 🧵⬇️ blog.chain.link/ccip-cross-c…

I'm dropping a thread of all the protocols that had to freeze their interop because of LayerZero being compromised. Let's go:

Chainlink is how the world's largest institutions & governments are distributing their data across the onchain economy. ✅ U.S. Department of Commerce ✅ Intercontinental Exchange ✅ Deutsche Börse Group ✅ S&P Global Ratings ✅ FTSE Russell ✅ Tradeweb And many more to come.

𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘: Europe's largest asset manager Amundi (€2.3 trillion AUM) & Spiko launch new tokenized mutual fund (SAFO) powered by Chainlink.  Chainlink is how the world's leading institutions & tokenization platforms are unlocking the issuance & distribution of tokenized funds.

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?

Meanwhile, transfers through systems like CCTP (by @circle), CCIP (by @chainlink), and @LayerZero_Core often appear in large transfer buckets ($100k+). The largest transfers through these protocols over the past 24h were all >$1M.

NEW: DTCC, Clearstream, Euroclear, and BCG published a new interoperability framework for digital asset securities. It’s now industry consensus that issuing assets on one ledger isn’t enough. Assets must move across systems while preserving ownership, lifecycle events, and compliance. This is exactly what Chainlink is built to solve. Chainlink is the only all-in-one platform enabling interoperable workflows across blockchains and traditional market infrastructure with built-in data, compliance, privacy, and security that meets institutional standards.

MILESTONE: Visa, ANZ, ChinaAMC, & Fidelity International complete cross-border settlement solution powered by Chainlink. Under the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s e-HKD program, Chainlink enables secure transfers of regulated assets with automated compliance & atomic settlement🧵

I think this is definitely possible. As mentioned, I'm not sure we know yet. FWIW, I think Chainlink wins in either world -- the commoditized world with thousands of chains linked through CCIP or the world with an oligopoly of select L1s with some element of pricing power. It just wins in different ways.

(Lack of) Privacy may the missing link for crypto payments adoption. Imagine, a company pays employees in crypto on-chain. With the current state of crypto, you can pretty much see how much everyone in the company is paid (by clicking the from address). 🤷‍♂️

Private transactions are poised to dominate onchain app development this year, unlocking institutional adoption at scale. Get early access to the Chainlink privacy standard at the Convergence hackathon and build previously impossible private smart contract use cases, including: - Payment apps for payouts and vendor settlement, where amounts remain private - Private treasury and fund operations that enable asset movement without exposing transaction details - Rewards apps for incentive programs where eligibility and allocations remain private Plus privacy-preserving workflows: - Secure connections to Web2 APIs without exposing secrets - Privacy-preserving compliance checks and policy gating - Private identity and credential checks for permissioned access - And much more

Ethereum is for DeFi.

JUST IN: @RobinhoodApp launches public testnet and partners with Chainlink as the oracle platform for Robinhood Chain. Builders can leverage Chainlink’s data, interoperability, and compliance standards to power advanced tokenization use cases. Robinhood 🤝 Chainlink

JUST ANNOUNCED: Chainlink has been selected to participate in the Bank of England’s Synchronisation Lab. Chainlink is supporting synchronized settlement between central bank money and onchain securities. This is how the UK financial system moves onchain.

TODAY: The Convergence hackathon opening ceremony kicks off today at 12PM ET. Tune in for the full breakdown on everything happening at the hackathon, including workshops, office hours, and more ↓
