(1/x) We've been building in the open with the Public Sector. Time to ramp it up! 👇
Today we're excited to formally announce our partnership with Novel Strategies (https://t.co/uDoxc3Fz4l), a Washington, DC-based public affairs and government relations firm. 🇺🇸
Virtuals Protocol is officially migrating to @Chainlink CCIP.
For agent infrastructure, 99% security is not enough. As part of hardening our infrastructure, we are upgrading our cross-chain stack from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP.
We have evaluated that CCIP strengthens the foundation behind Virtuals with the highest level of cross-chain security as we build the trusted economic layer for agents.
This enables the most secure agent infrastructure stack to enable agents to manage inference, cards, email, payments, services, commerce, and onchain value.
@Ivan_the_gent@Cointelegraph@Citi@chainlink citi just validated the entire CCIP thesis as the interop layer for $8.2T tokenized markets
banks already picked their infrastructure
Today, we're announcing a major infrastructure upgrade for Pleasing Market.
After a comprehensive security review, we are deprecating LayerZero and migrating to @Chainlink CCIP as the exclusive cross-chain infrastructure for PGOLD and USDpm on Arbitrum, Ethereum, Pharos and future expansions.
It's a strategic step toward bringing the global precious metals economy onchain.
@G_Tarded69420 Oh no, corrupt to the core. Which is why they must pass this as well. Everything till now has just been show/delay tactics so they can get strong positions.
JUST IN: @Citi's new Tokenization 2030 report highlights Chainlink CCIP as the interoperability standard connecting the tokenized global financial system.
Citi projects tokenized asset markets can reach $8.2 trillion by 2030, with secure cross-chain connectivity being critical.
ICYMI: The Chainlink data standard is now live on @amazon's AWS Marketplace.
Millions of developers and thousands of businesses on AWS can now build institutional-grade blockchain applications with Chainlink.
@awscloud 🤝 Chainlink
UPDATE: SWIFT launches a new cross-border payments framework with 50+ banks including @JPMorgan, @HSBC, @Citi and @BNPParibas, promising instant settlement, fixed fees and end-to-end traceability across major remittance corridors by end of June.

Chainlink is how the world's leading financial institutions connect to onchain markets.
7 years ago today, Chainlink launched on mainnet with a single price feed.
Now, Chainlink's unified oracle platform powers 70%+ of DeFi and is bringing the world's largest institutions onchain.
LINK THE WORLD 🔗
The crypto industry has long had an irrational obsession with L1 gas coins and ignored other categories of infrastructure
Of the top 20 crypto assets by market cap:
• 75% are L1 chains
• 15% are stablecoins
• Only one asset is non-chain infra
Weighted by market cap, the imbalance is even more extreme:
• 88% L1 coins
• 11% stablecoins
• 0.3% non-chain infra
This is a temporary phenomenon, blockchains are increasingly becoming commoditized infrastructure, and yet all of them depend on Chainlink $LINK for real-world institutional use cases beyond speculation
The DTCC (the legally mandated settlement infra underpinning U.S. capital markets) choosing Chainlink to power 24/7 collateral mobility on the DTCC's blockchain should be a wake up call for everyone
The institutions are here, and 1) they're building their own blockchains and 2) they're choosing Chainlink for secure data, cross-chain, privacy, compliance, and orchestration capabilities
The current crypto market cap distribution reflects current sentiment not long-term value capture
