Literally this means you should pivot to the protocol that will connect these banks securely.
It’s actually quite easy at this point but sure go ahead and keep your conviction with 2017 narratives and ghost chains.

First tweet! New chapter. I just joined @chainlink as Head of Institutional and Market Development.
After 4.5 years at @eToro and 15+ years in trading and capital markets, getting to work on institutional crypto adoption feels like exactly where I should be now.
Banks and asset managers aren't asking "should we" anymore. They're building with @chainlink. It’s a joy to be part of this story.
$Link the same Citi that predicted chainlick would one day eclipse bitcoin🤔
Understand, the biggest assumption in this thesis is not that tokenization succeeds, it's that Chainlink wins the interoperability layer. If that happens, the upside become unfathomable... guess we'll have to wait and see.... 💰
DTCC launches their appchain in Q4 2026
Swift launches their DLT in H2 2026
ECB launches their DLT wholesale settlement solution Pontes in Q3 2026
BNY Mellon launched tokenized deposit services in Q1 2026 and expands this service in Q3 2026
J.P. Morgan (Kinexys / JPMD) launches native tokenized deposits on Canton through 2026 (focus H2).
Looks like the biggest institutions will all come together in H2 2026 to bring the financial system onchain.
You can't be bearish right now.

The only thing you need to know about the SWIFT x @chainlink partnership is in this video especially from 10:30 - 12:00.
Swift is telling you it would be live end 2025 - begin 2026. Institutions always underestimate the time that it takes to ship a live product, he even acknowledged it himself when he tried to give a prediction but you can certain it will be live this year!
What Sergey says after, might be even more important:
When the product is live, it's accessible to the swift members which is basically the whole global financial system.
@chainlink connects 11 500 Swift members to the blockchain through CCIP and other @chainlink services.

I think this is the next big thing in crypto. If you talk to any S&P 500 company and ask them, "Are you planning to use blockchain technology to manage inventory, provide logistics, contract management, et cetera, et cetera?" They all say yes. So I think the next big thing in crypto is which of these chains is going to get at least one company in all 11 sectors of the S&P. Because the minute that occurs, you wanna go long that token. That's going to be a game changer, and I've got a whole team working on that. So far, I haven't found it yet.
