@george_matelich Exciting news from an incredibly driven founder. Congrats @george_matelich

Microsoft simultaneously built an open platform (Windows) and the best available first-party products (word, excel, ppt etc...) to drive adoption of the platform.

I learned that from the @AcquiredFM podcast on Microsoft. When David and Ben eventually do their Chainlink episode... they'll note Chainlink is running a similar playbook, building an open platform for onchain finance while simultaneously building the best in class first-party products (Data Feeds, CCIP etc...) to drive adoption of that platform.

[Rory @rorypiant]

Chainlink is today’s equivalent of Microsoft in 1990.

At that time, personal computers were still primarily the domain of hobbyists and tinkerers rather than the backbone of enterprise operations. The release of Windows 3.0 changed that trajectory. It established the standard against which hardware (PCs) was built and provided the platform on which essential business applications, such as email, word processing, and spreadsheets, could run reliably. In doing so, Microsoft created an operating system that catalyzed the enterprise shift from physical to digital processes.

Chainlink is driving a similar transformation. By establishing the core standards upon which critical onchain applications are being built, it enables enterprises to evolve from digital finance to on-chain finance. Blockchain is no longer the exclusive realm of cypherpunks; it is becoming integrated into the infrastructure of major financial institutions, including those on Wall Street.

If you believe that global finance will ultimately migrate onchain, then Chainlink is positioned to become the operating system of that new financial world.

Great work from the giga-brain @0xMether.

A clear articulation of what is Chainlink and how it is the catalyzing force for onchain finance.

[Blockworks Research @blockworksres]

1/ Tokenization has matured from an experimental technology to a major strategic priority for financial institutions.

By enabling real-time settlement, programmable compliance, automated reconciliation, and enhanced transparency, onchain systems can provide greater operational efficiency and broader market access. 🧵

We’re excited to announce that @SPGlobalRatings—the leading credit rating agency relied on by 95% of the top 20 global institutional investors—is collaborating with Chainlink to publish its Stablecoin Stability Assessments (SSAs) onchain for the first time via DataLink.

https://t.co/oIByU9CoD8

The launch comes at a pivotal moment in the evolution of digital assets. As of October 2025, the size of the stablecoin market exceeds $300 billion.

With the passage of the GENIUS Act in the United States, stablecoins are becoming a core financial primitive of global finance, underpinning payments, settlement, and trade.

However, to support institutions seeking to adopt stablecoins at scale, they require a standardized, reliable, and transparent onchain way to evaluate stablecoin risks.

S&P Global Ratings’ SSAs assess the stability and resilience of widely used stablecoins by evaluating credit, market, and custody risks to the overall asset quality, along with additional risk factors.

This data provides institutions and DeFi protocols alike critical information that can be used to evaluate a stablecoin's ability to maintain a stable value relative to its pegged fiat currency, enhancing risk management operations.

By securely making this data directly available to smart contracts via Chainlink’s institutional-grade DataLink publishing service, S&P Global Ratings and Chainlink are empowering 2,400+ financial institutions, protocols, and developers in the Chainlink ecosystem to confidently integrate stablecoins into next-generation financial products, strengthening risk management, enhancing market integrity, and unlocking innovation across the onchain economy.

"The launch of SSAs on-chain through Chainlink underscores our commitment to meeting our clients where they are. By making our SSAs available on-chain through Chainlink's proven oracle infrastructure, we're enabling market participants to access our assessments seamlessly using their existing DeFi infrastructure, enhancing transparency and informed decision-making across the DeFi landscape," said Chuck Mounts, Chief DeFi Officer at S&P Global.

The collaboration leverages Chainlink's infrastructure, which has powered the majority of the onchain economy for more than half a decade, enabling over $25 trillion in transaction value while actively securing nearly $100 billion in DeFi TVL.

As a turnkey service, DataLink empowers data owners like S&P Global Ratings to seamlessly publish data to blockchains in a secure and reliable manner—without the need to build or maintain new infrastructure.

"There has been a monsoon of activity" that's how
@CatfishFishy described Chainlink's presence at Sibos during our X spaces yesterday with him and @ChainLinkGod.

Here's the TLDR of what else they shared:

- Chainlink keeps compounding wins because it is systematically creating standards to bring critical TradFi infra (data, identity, etc...) to the onchain context.

- Owning the standards is insanely powerful. Lindy effect/network effects all apply... it's a reinforcing cycle of adoption.

- CRE is an unassailable competitive moat. Some protocols have data, others have interop, and others have privacy.... but no one outside of Chainlink has a single platform for everything tokenized finance needs. What's more is that no one is even close to a concept of "orchestration" for a platform like CRE is.

- But CRE is more than that. It actually inverts the developer experience. Devs used to begin with "what chain should I build on." With CRE they start with "what workflows should I build" which means every other choice is downstream of choosing Chainlink. CRE is the gateway for tokenized finance.

It was honestly one of the most based 45 minutes I've been apart of. Hats off to them.

[Jimmy @James_Haight]

TLDR summary of my spaces today with @77MichaelR (a.k.a. Chainlink's product launch guy)

- Product launch momentum at Chainlink is at an all-time-high and accelerating.

- We're in a pattern where the world's largest financial institutions are pushing the frontier for what is possible onchain and trusting Chainlink to deliver the solutions they need to do it.

-The DataLink launch is massive. Tokenized assets need an immense amount of data types (beyond price) to be useful and DataLink is the trusted path for financial giants like Deutsche Börse to bring their data onchain.

I'm running it back with another spaces about Sibos with @CatfishFishy and @ChainLinkGod tomorrow. Same time, same place.

GLEIF has partnered with Chainlink to bring the G20’s global legal entity ID system, the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI), onchain.

Used by every major bank for compliance, this trusted identity standard can now be embedded directly into smart contracts and tokenized assets through Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Identity (CCID) Framework and Automated Compliance Engine (ACE).

Banks can now issue tokenized assets with clear proof of ownership, and exchanges can instantly verify counterparties across borders, all while minimizing data exposure to protect privacy.
