Power everything.

The largest cloud provider in the world, now LINKed. @awscloud 🤝 Chainlink

@binance @The_DTCC @Visa @circle @apolloglobal @Nomura @mizuhobank @KKR_Co @Citi 11/ The "picks & shovels" play: $LINK @chainlink provides critical middleware across the tokenization lifecycle: → Proof of reserves → Data feeds & NAV → Compliance (ACE) → Cross-chain interop (CCIP) Works across all chains = chain-agnostic exposure.

New @Bitwise paper covers why Chainlink $LINK is mission-critical infra for onchain finance Blockchains are powerful but isolated by default, like computers without an internet connection Chainlink connects them to the real world The reach today: ✅ 70+ major financial institutions rely on Chainlink including Swift, DTCC, ICE, UBS, and Mastercard ✅ 70% of the oracle market by total DeFi value secured ✅ $30T in transaction value enabled (+40% YoY) ✅ $60B in total value secured (+41% YoY) As stablecoins, tokenization, prediction markets, and DeFi go mainstream, Chainlink sits at the center of every use case

Just released: “Chainlink in Plain English” – why Chainlink matters for stablecoins, tokenization, and mass-scale adoption. Written for traditional investors, by crypto experts. Share it with the Chainlink skeptic in your life. bitwiseinvestments.com/crypto-market-…

New @Grayscale report covers why Chainlink $LINK is one of the best "picks and shovels" opportunities in tokenization 🔥 Chainlink provides the data, interoperability, compliance, privacy and orchestration standards that power the full end-to-end lifecycle of tokenization @willhamilogden and @LowBeta break down every stage: ✅ Asset tokenized onchain → Chainlink Proof of Reserve → Verify assets are backed ✅ Investors onboarded → Chainlink Data Feeds → Provides intraday net asset value (NAV) data ✅ Asset begins trading onchain → Chainlink ACE → Enforces KYC and jurisdiction polices ✅ Asset moves to new chains → Chainlink CCIP → Facilitates secure cross-chain asset transfers ✅ Asset makes dividend or coupon payment → Chainlink CCIP and Function → Connect to offchain systems for administration ✅ Asset used as collateral in DeFi → Chainlink Data Feeds → Validate asset value for margin requirements An advanced institutional workflow, spanning multiple chains, enterprise systems, and APIs, all coordinated by the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) Importantly, Chainlink is fully blockchain-agnostic, so it doesn't matter which chains are adopted by capital markets, they all still need Chainlink "It is hard to imagine the tokenization of capital markets playing out without tools like Chainlink, regardless of which blockchain is leading." The two other service providers named in this section, Securitize and Ondo, both use Chainlink to power the distribution of their tokenized assets across onchain finance

1/ New industry changing patent alert 🚨 @SmartContract Inc just published a patent for a full blockchain abstraction layer built on top of Chainlink nodes. Filed October 2025. Published today. Banks plug in. ethereum:0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca executes. No blockchain team required. Token needed? 👇🧵

NEW: Chainlink has just reached $30,006,888,224,116 value enabled.

GMX has launched WTI, Brent, & Natural Gas perp markets fully powered by Chainlink. Trade global energy 24/7 on @GMX_IO as it continues its expansion into RWA markets via high-speed data from Chainlink Data Streams. LINK oil. LINK gas. LINK everything.

Chainlink CCIP delivers uncompromising security, by default. ✅ $19B+ volume transferred 🪙 $61B+ in Cross-Chain Tokens 🖥️ 16 independent node operators 🛡️ Secure-by-default architecture 🌐 No single point of failure by design Built for secure cross-chain at scale.

Windows runs on 1.4B+ devices. AWS serves 4M+ business customers. NVIDIA ships 3.7M+ GPUs in a year. Chainlink enables $29T+ in transactions. Every era of computing is defined by its infrastructure platform.

“You’re not building the systems for the 363 days when everything is smooth. You're building the system for the 2 days when everything goes crazy.” Chainlink CCIP: Engineered for the extremes.

Ask yourself this, anon. $LINK is tracking toward its 3rd largest monthly inflow… while price action has been objectively weak. ETFs are barely 5 months old. Meanwhile: – Price down ~22% over 3 months – Down ~47% over 6 months And you still can’t see what’s happening here?

AWS' conclusion about @chainlink CRE: In our solution, AWS provides a secure off-chain control plane for message ingestion, normalization, signing, and recordkeeping. Smart contracts provide the final enforcement layer by verifying authorized instructions and executing settlement only when policy checks pass. The orchestration layer sitting between them can be implemented with AWS-native components or Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) because it provides a more natural path toward the broader interoperability model institutions are now exploring. Together, these components create a practical bridge between traditional financial systems and blockchain-based settlement.

LINK AWS

The reason why I am so critical of LayerZero Beyond their terrible opsec (you have no idea) and centralized infra putting the entire industry at risk and causing a $292M bridge exploit It’s that any time someone voices even remote criticism, they get relentlessly attacked and gaslit into oblivion by the team themselves Attached is a snippet of a convo I had a few years back, seems relevant, I was pointing out the EXACT risk of what just happened to rsETH I’m tired of pointing out the risks of centralized and insecure infra, only to see them later get inevitably hacked, destroying DeFi’s reputation It’s not gravedancing to point out that this whole situation could’ve been entirely avoided if people just fucking listened to the warnings

The system is already in place 𒆠

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.
