“You can’t have a separate market infrastructure, it needs to come together.”
At Sibos, @CryptoFinanceAG CEO Stijn Vander Straeten on the shift to hybrid market infrastructure, how Crypto Finance leverages Chainlink to verify custodied assets onchain, and more ↓
Very excited to have spoken at the Aladdin Client Forum. I am very impressed by both Aladdin and the BlackRock team overall, they are some of the smartest people in global finance that I have ever met and I can clearly see why they have the market share that they do.
It is clear that BlackRock has a huge roll to play in on-chain asset management, fund tokenization and the overall growth of on-chain finance as the new preferred way that assets are managed by the top institutions. AI is clearly a tool that will interact in many useful ways with BlackRock systems and multiple chains, adding a new layer of complexity that needs orchestration for agents to efficiently and safely use various chains; the Chainlink ecosystem has built CRE to solve exactly these multifaceted orchestration problems. I am excited about what Chainlink can offer both the BlackRock tokenized fund management side and the Aladdin software side of BlackRock, I can see both of them massively benefiting from the Chainlink Standard.
“I think we’ll eventually wind up in a world where agents have a certain level of identity and controls around what they’re allowed or not allowed to do.”

Great to share perspectives at Link:NYC on what it will take for tokenized funds to move beyond issuance and deliver value to investors. We discussed the importance of interoperability, infrastructure and collateral mobility across a hybrid financial system. Thanks to @chainlink
NEW: @moodysratings, the global credit ratings provider with 125+ years of experience, completed a Chainlink-powered testnet pilot to extend its credit ratings infrastructure across the tokenized economy.
Using CCIP, Moody’s Ratings successfully demonstrated multi-chain deployment of credit assessment data, establishing a foundation for bringing its ratings to the networks where tokenized assets and capital are moving.
As assets move onchain, the credit intelligence institutions rely on must move with them.
At Sibos 2026, @BNPParibas' Wayne Hughes joined Chainlink Labs to discuss how the bank is integrating tokenization & blockchain technology.
“We’ve got a lot of different platforms that need to talk to a lot of different blockchains, so that abstraction layer is quite critical.” ↓

“We have had member firms tell us: ‘If you operationalize this, it could save us 20-30% on the balance sheet.’ That is enormous.”
