This one was long overdue

NEW: LG CNS, the technology arm of LG Group, enters a strategic partnership with Chainlink to advance Korea’s $68B digital asset market.

LG Group is one of Korea’s largest business groups, with approximately ₩186 trillion in assets across 63 affiliates. LG CNS is the lead contractor for the Bank of Korea’s flagship digital currency initiative, Project Hangang.

Through the partnership, LG CNS and Chainlink will:
• Enhance LG CNS’s digital asset platform solution with Chainlink’s cross-chain, data, and orchestration infrastructure
• Collaborate on digital asset solutions for Korean institutions using the full Chainlink platform
• Advance the next generation of technical standards underpinning Korea’s digital asset economy

The partnership is built for one of the world’s most active and technologically advanced digital asset markets. Korea is Asia's second-largest digital asset market, with the Korean won consistently ranking second in crypto trading volume, behind only the U.S. dollar.

By combining LG CNS’s institutional expertise with Chainlink technology standards, the partnership establishes the foundation for compliant digital asset infrastructure in Korea and for global expansion.

Appreciate the acknowledgment, but to clarify, we do not view link as a grift. We are a regulated financial institution, and just provide fair and balanced coverage. That means acknowledging potential risks. This is a similar risk shared by many cryptocurrencies because fundamentally they are not equities and not entitled to protocol cash flows. That said, increased adoption of chainlink would potentially result in more demand for link. For now, demand likely grows in-line with broader crypto activity (Defi/ lending / etc) but as more finance moved on chain, it’s TAM could expand massively

.@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 🫡

[Chainlink @chainlink]

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.

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.

DTCC’S NADINE CHAKAR & SERGEY NAZAROV AT SIBOS 2026

Nadine Chakar, Managing Director & Global Head of @The_DTCC Digital Assets, joined @SergeyNazarov to discuss what it takes to bring tokenization to market scale.

As Nadine put it: “We shouldn’t care which rail it’s on, what type of asset it is; we should care that it’s interoperable, it’s compliance-aware, & that it’s operating 24/7 anywhere that a client needs to manage risk.”

On tokenized equity, Sergey added: “This AppChain and the tokenization of equity in this reliable institutional-grade form will accelerate the use of tokenized stock.”

Lately it’s been hard to come to grips with the fact that the crypto world I grew up in and loved is mostly gone and I don’t fit in with or relate to what’s popular in crypto anymore

Hopeful that this will change one day but I’m not going to hold my breath

[Zach Rynes | CLG @ChainLinkGod]

This is fully because of the fundamental differences between equity and crypto assets as they exist today

The more that tokens mirror the economic and legal rights of equity, the more this is perspective is true, but until then, buybacks are the only real way to prove holder alignment and thus make a non-monetary token investable

[Carolyn Rogers @carolynrogers]

Haven’t been tweeting as much lately since most of my mental energy has been absorbed by ramping up at @chainlink

In the first 6 weeks I’ve had the opportunity to meet many of my new colleagues in person as well as have client and partner conversations at Sibos. Plus supporting massive product and partner announcements.

I’m more excited by the day about Chainlink’s role in the industry and the immense talent I see on the team.

Plan to continue sharing insights about what I see in the digital asset space and the broader tech landscape, sprinkled with ideas about organizations, marketing, parenting, and more. Thanks for following along!

@koeppelmann @safe @Google For as long as ad platforms like Google and Facebook believe there’s no liability for serving malicious ads, this will unfortunately continue, as they profit significantly from serving such ads

Chainlink and DTCC demo how Chainlink is going to enable the collateral mobility for all the world's pension funds, hedge funds, banks, asset managers for repo, securities lending, etc.

DTCC CTO: We're showing in this particular case, a pension fund and a hedge fund, but folks will recognize that the transaction we are doing here is the central transcaction in instittuional finance. Basically, parties are trading liquidity for yield. The same mechanism we are showing here works for repo, securities lending, and well beyond. Effectively, this is a model that ultimately amounts to transactions in excess of $20 trillion per day and automates them.

This demo is legit sick.

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.
