Personal news: after five amazing years at @chainlink, today I joined the @monad Foundation. Excited for what's ahead.
A big thank you to the whole Chainlink team, and especially to the Chainlink community here on X, for everything.
@monad is an institutional-grade blockchain powering an open, global economy through efficient payments, asset tokenization, and onchain capital markets.
It's uniquely positioned to serve both the top DeFi apps and the world's largest institutions.
Some exciting things coming:
• Confidentiality with shared liquidity (Monad Private Settlement)
• Security that lasts for decades (quantum security)
• Fair execution, so no one can trade ahead of your order
• Even faster transactions with Cadence (targeting 100 ms blocks and 200 ms finality)
• Plus much more...
Lots to share in the months ahead. Follow along for updates, news, and launches
and if you’re building on Monad, or thinking about it, I’d love to connect
$18 trillion
That was Visa's total payments and cash volume in fiscal 2026.
Today, @Visa added @Monad to its stablecoin settlement program.
Here's why that matters
Stablecoin supply has tripled in three years:
→ ~$130B in Nov 2023
→ ~$400B today
Stablecoins put dollars onchain: they move at any hour, cross borders, and plug straight into onchain apps. They're a critical layer to bringing institutions onchain.
What banks and payment providers get by settling with stablecoins on Monad:
→ Settlement that keeps running through weekends and holidays
→ Faster settlement with sub-second finality
→ Full EVM compatibility, so they can build on the custody, wallet, and compliance infrastructure they already have
...And with Monad Private Settlement, now in development, institutions will be able to transact onchain while keeping sensitive financial activity confidential

Chainlink is in a league of its own.
In just 3 months, Chainlink shipped bigger integrations, announcements, and launches than most projects ship in years.
Still #1 in development activity.
Scaling past $30T in transaction value enabled.
Regardless of the market cycle, Chainlink will always lead the way .
Because every relevant use case in DeFi and digital finance needs Chainlink:
Tokenization → Chainlink
Stablecoins → Chainlink
Prediction Markets → Chainlink
Perp DEXs → Chainlink
AI x Crypto → Chainlink
Institutional Workflows → Chainlink
Whatever the dominant use case is, Chainlink is already powering it in the background.
All roads lead to Chainlink.
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.
