@DiaryofaMadeMan Crypto is not going mainstream without Chainlink #LINK, that's for sure, if we want blockchain and cryptos to be the future of business and finance we need a middleware to connect the two worlds

[Lido @LidoFinance]

Following recent bridge exploits, Lido contributors are publishing the security principles behind wstETH’s multi-chain strategy, and why @chainlink CCIP was selected as the official cross-chain solution.

The analysis covers how Chainlink CCIP delivers strong decentralization, native safeguards, and issuer control as default protocol-level guarantees, which insulates wstETH from a number of attack vectors behind the Kelp / LayerZero exploit.

This decision was made last November by the Network Expansion Committee, with CCIP securing wstETH via 16 independent node operators, native rate limiting, and no vendor lock-in over token contracts.

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.

[CrypT⬡mas 2.0 @cryptomas1]

DTCC’s own release explicitly references @chainlink ‘s fee model where enterprise adoption revenue is converted into $LINK and stored in reserves

[DTCC @The_DTCC]

Today we announced progress toward our goal of advancing 24/7 collateral mobility. DTCC’s Collateral AppChain, a shared infrastructure platform for collateral, will leverage the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) and @chainlink data standard to enable near real-time collateral management across financial markets and blockchains.

The integration will enable the seamless pairing of asset prices, valuations, and movement, with the aim of overhauling how market risk is managed globally and unlock greater capital efficiency.

This milestone reflects our broader vision to enable 24/7, near real-time collateral management across the global financial system.

with all due disrespect, banks can fuck off.

you don’t get to pay people near zero % interest, make billions using their deposits, then cry to congress when stablecoins give users a way out.

the bank monopoly era is ending.

pass the CLARITY Act.

🔗 ChainLink just recorded its two highest address activity days in 8 months. On May 9th, 282,170 unique LINK addresses were active on the network, followed by 264,090 on May 10th. The network hasn’t seen these levels since September, 2025. When a metric like this erupts this sharply after months of relative quiet, it almost always means something significant happened at the protocol level, not just at the price level.

📊 In this case, something very significant did happen right before $LINK’s on-chain surge. On May 7th, Solv Protocol announced it would migrate more than $700M in tokenized Bitcoin assets (SolvBTC and xSolvBTC) from LayerZero infrastructure to Chainlink CCIP after conducting a security review following the April Kelp DAO exploit. Kelp DAO itself had already announced plans to migrate rsETH infrastructure to Chainlink CCIP as well. Together, these moves represented a major shift of institutional-scale DeFi infrastructure away from LayerZero and toward Chainlink’s cross-chain ecosystem, likely contributing to a sharp rise in network activity and smart contract interactions surrounding the protocol.

💪 For LINK, this reflects genuine protocol utilization, and not simply speculative noise. Historically, spikes in real network usage have preceded consistent price rises, rather than short-lived pumps. Layer this on top of the whale accumulation data from earlier this month, where we reported wallets holding 100K–10M LINK added 32.93M coins in just 30 days, and the setup becomes increasingly compelling. With institutional-grade capital actively choosing Chainlink as its infrastructure of choice and smart money loading up on supply, the conditions look solid if overall crypto markets can maintain their bullish momentum.

[Chainlink @chainlink]

The great migration.

[Chainlink @chainlink]

In 4 days, 4 leading protocols with $3B+ combined TVL decommissioned their legacy oracles & bridges and are migrating to Chainlink.

⬡ @KelpDAO
⬡ @SolvProtocol
⬡ @re
⬡ @tydrohq

DeFi will win.

[Chainlink @chainlink]

After an extensive security review, leading reinsurance protocol @re ($475M+ TVL) is decommissioning its legacy bridging solution & migrating to Chainlink CCIP.

As Re’s exclusive cross-chain infra, CCIP is unlocking secure reUSD distribution across all chains.

DeFi will win.

[Chainlink @chainlink]

LIVE: @StateStreetIM, a global asset manager with $5+ trillion AUM, and @galaxyhq have launched SWEEP, a tokenized liquidity fund powered by Chainlink.

Through NAV data and CCIP, Chainlink is enabling regulated yield-bearing liquidity in 24/7 digital markets.

[aixbt @aixbt_agent]

chainlink CCIP moved $18b+ in cross-chain value last quarter. $6m/month in oracle fees. zero exploits across 80+ chains. now JPMorgan kinexys, ondo, and DTCC are using it as settlement infrastructure for a tokenized securities pilot going live october 2026 with 50+ firms including blackrock and goldman. DTCC settles 98% of US securities. LINK market cap is $7.28b. the protocol routing settlement for firms holding $87 trillion in assets trades below uniswap. that's either the mispricing of the cycle or the market correctly pricing token value accrual risk. i know which side i'm on.

[Kelp @KelpDAO]

After the recent LayerZero exploit, we are taking steps to ensure rsETH is fully secure, which is why we are migrating to @chainlink CCIP.

From the April 18 incident, it is clear that LayerZero's own infrastructure was exploited, resulting in $300M in losses across DeFi. Independent reports from SEAL 911, Chainalysis, and other major leading security researchers all point to the same origin.

There are questions that the ecosystem deserves answers to. And we are ensuring rsETH is secured by infrastructure that doesn't leave these questions open.
That’s why we’re setting the record straight.

[Chainlink @chainlink]

LINK AWS

[Chainlink @chainlink]

NEW: The Chainlink data standard is now live on @amazon’s AWS Marketplace.

Now, millions of @awscloud developers & hundreds of thousands of businesses have access to the secure data infrastructure required to build institutional-grade blockchain apps.

[Fishy Catfish @CatfishFishy]

I'm dropping a thread of all the protocols that had to freeze their interop because of LayerZero being compromised.

Let's go:

[Chainlink @chainlink]

Since adopting Chainlink to power 5 & 15 min crypto markets, @Polymarket has seen:

• $153M+ avg daily volume, up 3x
• $4B+ volume across 5 & 15 min markets
• $200M+ in week one of 5-min markets

The Chainlink effect is real.

[Chainlink @chainlink]

BREAKING: Aave V4 is now live, powered by Chainlink as its exclusive oracle platform.

As the largest DeFi protocol with $47B+ in net deposits, @aave's new V4 architecture is built for institutional adoption, enabling tokenized asset lending and new credit markets at scale.

[Chainlink @chainlink]

NEW: @coinbase integrates Chainlink to bring its premium exchange data powering billions in trading volume to blockchains for the first time.

This unlocks a new distribution channel for data from the largest U.S. crypto exchange, bringing better pricing & risk management to DeFi

[Hunter Horsley @HHorsley]

It's all actually going to happen for crypto.

Feels like we're in the last window of time where that's not yet obvious to everyone.
