Three key trends I am increasingly excited about... 1: Our industry has started caring much more about the security and reliability of the infrastructure, standards and oracles/dependencies that it is built on top of. This shift in focus towards security is already massively benefiting Chainlink because it is built with security and reliability in mind from the start e.g. 16 nodes vs 1 of 1 or 2 of 2 (which is actually often just a 1 of 1 in disguise). This focus on reliability and security makes a better system for everyone in the DeFi/TradFi industry to transact with less risk and also leads to more overall Chainlink adoption over time. The way Chainlink became the leading data oracle is through security and reliability, I think that will happen across all categories where Chainlink deploys services for the same reasons. We are now clearly seeing this dynamic take place in cross-chain interoperability, with many large users migrating onto CCIP after conducting deeper security reviews of bridging providers, more and more of which are now being published, some telling quotes below: x.com/krakenfx/statu… Kraken chose Chainlink CCIP because it offers enterprise-grade infrastructure with strict security & risk management requirements, including: • ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications • Secure by default architecture • 16 independent nodes • Native rate limits, and more. x.com/LidoFinance/st… and blog.lido.fi/cross-chain-se… 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. x.com/Lombard_Financ… Chainlink CCIP has emerged as the standard in cross-chain infrastructure, providing an enterprise-grade framework to secure high-value assets With over $4Billion migrated in just a few weeks and more on the way, I am clearly seeing the industry's clear preference for security and reliability being a key trend leading to accelerated adoption of Chainlink and CCIP. 2: Chainlink has always continued to build and added many of its best features during down markets, when there is less noise to distract top teams from building. Because Chainlink already has clear product market fit, being able to focus on building the future is a powerful accelerant for future progress and is actually what I and many of the people building Chainlink are here for. I am very excited about both the use case specific features e.g. collateral management and the increasing number of reusable primitives e.g. verifiable confidential compute in CRE, which are now actively being built, refined and launched with top users. In my experience, during the down market lulls is when the best things get built, and I am truly thrilled to see Chainlink being built to better serve its existing users and entirely new users. 3: The RWA, TradFi Tokenization and Digital Assets industry has now decoupled from crypto prices as a determining factor of its success and is a rapidly growing market of its own. Great news for the technologies, standards and infrastructures that can serve this new and growing demand, of which Chainlink is at the very top of the list. By having the relevant certifications; blog.chain.link/chainlink-achi…, being the historically most secure/reliable option with the largest amount of value enabled and being able to compose multiple key primitives (Data + Interoperability + Identity/compliance + verifiable off-chain orchestration) into full end-to-end solutions like no other platform can, puts the Chainlink platform/ecosystem in a unique place to be adopted by this new and growing market. This is now becoming increasingly clear in practice through Chainlink's adoption in various parts of the capital markets; from collateral management with some of the most recent examples being... DTCC using CRE and Data for their production plans; dtcc.com/news/2026/may/… + x.com/The_DTCC/statu… Data providers like SGX using DataLink for key data; x.com/chainlink/stat… Top asset managers like State Street; x.com/chainlink/stat… and Fidelity International; x.com/chainlink/stat…, being powered by Chainlink on the backend. The above are just a small number of recent examples, with many more being worked on all across the TradFi ecosystem, from payments, to tokenized equities, to tokenized funds; all of these on-chain finance use cases need multiple Chainlink components working together. I can't wait for the next stage, where the leading DeFi applications and the top TradFi institutions start interoperating through their use of shared on-chain standards, interoperability connections and data/identity oracles, all of which are being provided by Chainlink, together with existing infrastructures. Solving each of these market's individual problems is already exciting, but helping them merge into the new global financial system is something that I and many others in our ecosystem have been working towards for a while. If the above sounds like something worth spending many late nights on, and you can see the future I am talking about, this is the best time to join a top team like Chainlink Labs... if you're the best of the best, excited about the future of the blockchain industry, DeFi, TradFi and building the future of the new global financial system, we are excited to work together with you: chainlinklabs.com/open-roles.

🚨SCOOP: The Senate Banking Committee is preparing to notice a markup for the Clarity Act as soon as tomorrow and has circulated draft legislative text to select industry members ahead of a potential Thursday vote, according to multiple industry sources who have seen the text. The language is reportedly still being finalized, with additional edits expected to reflect priorities from Democratic offices. One source told me the overall vibes after reviewing the bill and coordinating with other industry leaders are positive so far, though some bracketed sections are raising concerns that key provisions previously thought to be settled may still be in flux.

@jonnyjpgs @Puck_Figs @Grayscale @chainlink Plz DM me prior to selling

I’m the largest individual holder of @Grayscale $GLNK. My position is half of the combined 19 institutional holders. RothIRA is about go brrrrrrr 😆. $LINK / $GLNK / $CLNK

Chainlink is accomplishing everything I hoped for years ago except the price action

@Coinbase is conducting “Members Month” in May, on the 17th they have an announcement on earnings. I wonder if they have some insider information on the Clarity Act being passed and are adjusting accordingly. I didn’t see members month advertised until recently.

@GetOnTap Pepperoni Rolls.

What’s the best gas station food? Hot Dogs or Pepperoni Rolls? FIGHT!!!

@Cointelegraph Looking forward to it passing in a 2036

🚨 HUGE: Coinbase says a deal has been reached on a key provision of a major U.S. crypto bill.

@LarkDavis The imposition of a tyrannical government.

What would it take for you to go all-in on crypto right now?

$Linea looks like it may break out later today

@MrReaganUSA I think this should count as an attempt.

Three close-call assassination attempts on Trump. Zero on Biden Zero on Kamala Zero on Hilary Zero on Obama These people are being radicalized by the mainstream media, the very people at that dinner. This is what a decade of propaganda does.

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.

How about just a don’t do it again. Even though this is insider trading the guy risked his life on the outcome, let him cash out. Everyone can admire the cleverness and confidence.

@philthatremains If you make $174,000 a year and only have a net worth of $18,000 or even $95,000, you are not qualified to handle a Country’s budget.

yeah, no one is buying this line.

@ABC Ahh shit

Two U.S. Army soldiers have been injured after encountering a brown bear in a mountainous training area in Anchorage, the military said on Friday. abcnews.link/j1nnVpc

@crypto_christ @Menneuw @chainlink …I’d say they already are

@Menneuw @chainlink They want to be rich.

7 hours ago.. what is the goal of these wallets?? They keep buying.. $link @chainlink

@CatfishFishy @Menneuw A lot of the protocols mentioned use Chainlink, all their mentions give $Link an assist stat. Maybe it’s not a disconnect but an overly simplistic metric to go off of.

Swift and DTCC both being in the top 5 most mentioned companies at DAS, while Chainlink being at 21 on the protocols list shows what a disconnect there is between what's going to happen and people's current understanding of how institutions will actually pursue onchain finance.

@JustinHillman84 Don’t be an overly optimistic moon boy

@MackSKL Link will still between $8-9

@TimWarrenTrades Now with $Link you can lose the money you invested AND your job to a more efficient artificial intelligence

👀

@chainlink >buys $Link to get rich >token down 90% >loses job to AI powered by $Link

LLM hallucinations are a massive roadblock to enterprise adoption of AI. Swift, UBS, Euroclear, & 20+ major organizations advanced a solution to the $58B+ annual corporate actions problem by leveraging Chainlink to reduce AI hallucination risk. LINK everything.
