Most people are misunderstanding the DTCC + Chainlink story. $LINK This is not just another “crypto partnership announcement.” It’s the world’s largest post-trade financial infrastructure provider building tokenized collateral rails — and using Chainlink as part of the coordination layer. To understand why this matters, you first need to understand what DTCC actually is. DTCC sits at the center of global finance. Its systems handle the clearing, settlement, and movement of securities across traditional markets. Every year, it processes quadrillions of dollars in transaction volume. Now DTCC is building a new blockchain-based collateral infrastructure called the Collateral AppChain. The goal: Turn collateral management into a real-time, programmable system. Today, collateral movement between institutions is still fragmented and inefficient. Assets are locked in siloed systems. Transfers are slow. Liquidity gets trapped and firms often over-post collateral because systems cannot coordinate instantly across markets. DTCC wants to change that with tokenized collateral infrastructure. This is where Chainlink enters the picture. Chainlink is not replacing DTCC. It’s providing the interoperability and automation layer that helps these systems communicate across different blockchains and environments. Chainlink technology is being used for: → secure messaging between systems → orchestration of cross-chain workflows → synchronized data delivery → and automated execution of collateral actions across networks In simple terms: DTCC handles the institutional settlement infrastructure. Chainlink helps connect the moving pieces. For years, blockchain adoption in traditional finance has mostly been isolated pilots: one bank, one private chain, one closed ecosystem. The problem is interoperability. If tokenized assets cannot move or communicate across different chains and financial systems, the infrastructure never scales globally. Chainlink’s role is solving that coordination problem. And this is why many analysts see the development as bigger than a normal enterprise integration. Because the collateral market is one of the foundational layers of the financial system itself. If collateral becomes tokenized, programmable, and interoperable: → settlement speeds improve → liquidity efficiency improves → counterparty risk can be reduced → and capital can move more dynamically across markets That is potentially transformative for institutional finance. For DTCC, this is about modernizing market infrastructure. For Chainlink, this is validation that blockchain interoperability and on-chain automation are moving from crypto-native experimentation into real financial infrastructure. The important nuance: DTCC is not “running on Chainlink.” And Chainlink is not replacing existing financial rails. Instead, traditional finance is beginning to integrate blockchain-native infrastructure into production-grade systems.That’s the real story. Not speculation. Infrastructure evolution.

The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (@The_DTCC) is the most important company in the world that you have never heard of They settle $4.7 quadrillion in securities transactions per year, making it by far the highest financial value processor in the world They are the world’s largest securities depository and the primary infrastructure in the United States for clearing, settlement, and asset servicing DTCC’s infrastructure covers equities, bonds, ETFs, treasuries, mutual funds, money market instruments, mortgage backed securities, and OTC derivatives Their scale is incomparable: ✅ $114 trillion in assets under custody ✅ Serving issuers from 150+ countries ✅ 100+ million transactions processed every day ✅ Designated a Systemically Important Financial Market Utility (SIFMU) by the U.S. government Practically speaking, the DTCC is the plumbing that underpins the U.S. financial system (and by extension, the global financial system) And today, the DTCC announced they are integrating @chainlink to advance 24/7 collateral mobility on the DTCC Collateral AppChain

@listen2tish I don’t see what his skin color has to do with fixing the homelessness, dirtiness, and general incompetence LA has been subjected to for years.

🚨 The banking cartel is in full panic mode. 🚨 While Americans were celebrating Mother’s Day with their families, the CEO of the American Bankers Association sent a frantic alert to every bank CEO in the country, demanding “immediate engagement” to lobby Senators and kill stablecoins that would finally let everyday Americans earn real yields on their own money. This line in the letter sticks out: “we believe committee members may not be fully aware of the risks to the economy by the stablecoin loophole.” That’s both intellectually dishonest and simultaneously demeaning. First, there is no “loophole.” This entire issue was litigated during the GENIUS Act debate. @BillHagertyTN worked tirelessly on this issue and this statement is an insult to his and others work. For decades, these banks have treated your deposits like their personal piggy bank, paying you next to nothing while lending YOUR money out for massive profits and executive bonuses. During the Biden era, these same banks worked hand-in-glove with @SenWarren and her allies to debank Americans, including President Trump’s own family. They shut down accounts of conservatives, patriots, and anyone who dared challenge the regime, all while regulators applied pressure under schemes like Operation Choke Point 2.0. It wasn’t about risk. It was about political control. Now that innovative stablecoins threaten to break their monopoly and give you actual financial freedom? They’re running to Congress again, screaming about “threats to economic growth and financial stability.” Translation: Protect the racket at all costs. The Senate Banking Committee votes on landmark crypto legislation this Thursday. As a member of that committee, my message is clear: Hands off the people’s money. Let Americans choose real competition and better returns. No more shielding Wall Street from the future. The banking elite’s days of rigging the system and debanking their political enemies are over. Innovation, freedom, and the American people will win. I’m voting to break the cartel.

Spencer Pratt reveals the FireAid scam: $100 million raised for Palisades Fire victims… funneled to 200+ NGOs while homeowners got nothing. @spencerpratt "That's when I learned firsthand that these NGOs will take, right in your face, $100 million and just steal it."

Woman who went to work for the social services department said she started out as a full liberal, but by the time she left the job, she came out a Republican. She says that through anyone’s Social Security number who applied for benefits, she was able to tell whether a person was working, owned property or cars, the status of their bank accounts, and their salary. However, she says there is a loophole that allows illegal aliens without a Social Security number to also apply for benefits such as food stamps, healthcare, housing, WIC, and childcare. If these illegals had children, their kids would receive benefits as well. According to her, the department had no way to verify whether these immigrants had income, owned property, or how much money they made. She claims that illegal immigrant parents would receive $1,200 per child, plus $275 per person in cash assistance and food stamps, not mentioning free housing or other benefits. She also says that some people applying for benefits would show up with their hair and nails done, carrying expensive accessories and driving luxury cars. Meanwhile, American citizens often would not qualify for the same benefits. She added that this exists especially in liberal-led states like California, where leadership does not put regulations in place and allows this kind of fraud and abuse, while hard-working citizens are left to pay the bill. If this doesn’t make you angry, I don’t know what will.

What is happening in this video from the Tennessee State Capitol is empirically worse than anything that happened on January 6th. Question: Should we expect libs to throw a new J6 every time they lose — Is this the norm? Its happened 100 times this year

🚨 Democrats voted UNANIMOUSLY to not require the removal of dead people from Minnesota’s voter rolls last night. This is insane. Why would anyone oppose this?

It’s not just that this is a perfect answer delivered with eloquence and ease. It’s also that Marco has been saying this for decades of public life and he truly believes it. If America wants to make it past 250 years old this is the attitude we need…

SECRETARY RUBIO: We’re asking the UN to call on Iran to stop blowing up ships, remove the mines, and allow humanitarian relief. If the international community can’t rally behind this and solve something so straightforward, then I don’t know what the utility of the UN system is.

@ShamsCharania Bro falls down flipping too much go figure

Just in: Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid has been ruled out for Game 2 tonight against the New York Knicks due to ankle and hip injuries, sources tell ESPN.

@getnickwright The nba is cooked.

Call me old fashioned, but I think the soon to be 2x MVP should drive to the basket with the intent to score instead of driving to the basket with the intent to trick the ref.

Tracy McGrady says he stands with Jaylen Brown comments about the refs: “I felt like he’s been targeted this year. So he has a right, you know, to feel that way. If you watch some of the games and some of the calls that’s been called on him versus what we see from other guys. So I stand with him on that. Do I agree with him going to do that right after the game? It’s a different age, man. And how these guys communicate, right? They have their own platforms. They could go on, you know, right after and voice their opinions and views of what they have seen. What they just went through. So, to me it really doesn’t matter. It’s just part of, you know, the society we living in now and the liberty these guys have to be able to voice their opinions on their games and what they just witnessed.” (Via @VinceAndTmac)

Whoa..... Austin Rivers just emptied the clip on Draymond Green 😬

This is Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and United States Homeland Security Advisor: “We’re going to see the first-ever effort in American history to reclaim the ultimately trillions of dollars that were stolen from taxpayers by the Democratic Party.” Detained illegal aliens set to be deported confirmed that they are on Medicaid. “What we’ve found since Donald Trump came into office is that the Democrats have set up a system to funnel hundreds of billions — and ultimately trillions — of dollars to migrants in our country, often from places like Somalia. For example, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement recently asked a group of illegal immigrants in detention whether they were receiving Medicaid. Half of them raised their hands and volunteered that they were on Medicaid — and these aren’t the ones who are hiding it. We’ve seen this over and over again.” The Democratic Party’s ultimate goal is to overthrow the constitutional republic of the United States.

@jakeissenberg Spoke about 5 minutes too soon

Another unintended consequence of Joe going away from the depth that was the secret sauce to the season. Obviously Tatum should sit. And obviously Tatum won’t sit.

Worth a watch in full.

I watch this every time my life starts falling apar

🇺🇸 Seattle's socialist Mayor Katie Wilson couldn't answer basic questions from a reporter. Her staffers end it on the spot. It wasn't hostile, just a local news interview. If you can't answer basic questions, you shouldn't be running the city.

🚨AG Todd Blanche just walked into the toughest CBS gotcha session and demolished Major Garrett — calm, razor-sharp, and unflinching. Fake news got completely owned. Trump’s DOJ is done playing defense.
