The largest unlock for @chainlink's $LINK cross-chain interoperability protocol (CCIP) has been facilitating cash payments across chains. CCIP is trusted by: networks → @avax, @base, @BNBCHAIN, @ethereum, @hedera, @monad financial and market infrastructure → @swiftcommunity, @The_DTCC, @sixgroup banks and asset managers → @UBS, @BNPParibas, @Schroders

Chainlink just posted this on their Linkedin. Amazon web services (AWS) just spotlighted the missing $LINK between traditional finance and blockchains: @chainlink Runtime environment (CRE) This is the second time @chainlink mentions they are working closely with Amazon in a short period of time. $LINK everything!

🔥 BIG: Chainlink partners with SIX Group, operator of the Swiss and Spanish national exchanges, to bring €2+ trillion in European equities data onchain.

Excited about the continued rollout of top institutional data on-chain via Chainlink; @sixgroup, the exchange of Switzerland has adopted @chainlink as the data standard it is using to get critical market data on-chain: six-group.com/en/newsroom/me…. Chainlink is the global leader powering DeFi and TradFi RWAs, with this data helping increase institutional demand for both. This is now starting to be driven by TradFi users wanting their existing data sources on-chain as they move more capital into institutional grade RWAs, which require market data to function in similar ways to how DeFi couldn't operate without a reliable data layer like Chainlink. Below are just some more examples of top institutional grade data providers choosing to put their data on-chain via Chainlink as the leading data standard powering over 70% of DeFi globally, with it now becoming the data standard that their institutional users will be asking for in order to consider an RWA as reliable enough to put institutional capital into. Also, being able to easily access key market data from CRE workflows should accelerate your speed of building a tokenized fund, tokenized equity, on-chain vault and many other on-chain financial products. If Chainlink is the place you can receive all your needed market data, reference data and identity data on-chain, that is just the first initial level of Chainlink integration for your RWAs. If you are then choosing to build your entire on-chain financial product via CRE because it can help you reliably create key conditional statements around the use of that data, with privacy and off-chain level compute scalability, that is a whole new level of Chainlink integration. The type of data listed below opens the door for DeFi, Prediction Markets, RWAs and many new categories of on-chain smart contracts to adopt Chainlink, but then once the full capabilities of reliable on-chain data are combined with CCIP cross-chain and CRE chain abstraction, that becomes a whole different level of orchestration, reliability and privacy.

NEW: @sixgroup, the operator of the Swiss & Spanish national exchanges, adopts Chainlink to bring its premium European equities data onchain. Chainlink and SIX Group are unlocking the tokenization of €2+ trillion in European equities.

@MichaelAArouet Yes but as long as the narrative is still canalising money into that field + moneysupply growing pa +7% it could still be a good thing

German population pyramid: There are twice as many people in their 60s as children born today. Grandparents won’t have enough grandchildren to inherit and use their properties. One must be crazy to invest in residential property in Germany. The same in Spain, Italy and Poland.

S&P Global powers the world's largest markets with $1.2+ trillion in assets indexed. Through Chainlink DataLink, S&P Global Ratings’ Stablecoin Stability Assessments (SSAs) are now available onchain. @SPGlobal 🤝 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.

@EricBalchunas I think it was 6.000-6.900$

Bitcoin at $69k.. once again.. I feel like it just loves this price point in a 'the most ironic outcome is the most likely' kinda way. Has anyone ever studied which price bitcoin has spent most of its life at? i'd have to think $69k is up there if not #1.

@chainlink @Don_ChainLink Is that a lot?

3 weeks ago I argued the US goal in Iran is to seize the global oil spigot. Venezuela in January -> Iran in February. Neutralize every supply channel outside the dollar system within 90 days. Achieve a compliant successor government and complete energy dominance. The oil thesis was the obvious layer. However, when you zoom out & view the last four years as a single sequence rather than isolated geopolitical events, the architecture of the grander US plan becomes visible. 1st was Europe, which laid the groundwork. The Ukraine conflict provided the justification for sanctions that collapsed Russian pipeline gas from 150 billion cubic meters to 40. Then Nordstream was destroyed, which rewired the entire European energy system permanently. The US went from supplying 28% of Europe's LNG in 2021 to 58% by 2025, exporting a record 111 million MTs, the 1st country in history to break 100 MT. Europe was transformed from a customer with options into a captive market now purchasing its survival in USD. 2nd was Syria. The fall of Assad severed the critical node connecting China's Belt & Road Initiative to the Mediterranean. The trilateral railway linking Iran, Iraq & Syria, designed to bypass Western maritime chokepoints, was completely destroyed. This isolated Iran geographically & cleared the path for what came next. 3rd was Venezuela. In January the US effectively took control of the world's largest heavy crude reserves. The US Gulf Coast has the most advanced refining complex on earth, specifically built for heavy sour crude. Phillips 66, Valero & the rest are now positioned to process hundreds of thousands of barrels of Venezuelan crude daily. The US captured a massive strategic reserve & solidified its position as the dominant exporter of refined petroleum products, an industry worth $110 billion in 2025 alone. Venezuela & Iran were the two major oil supply channels that existed outside the dollar system. Both produce heavy crude sold primarily to China & evaded US financial supervision. Both now being neutralized within 90 days, which leads us to.. 4th is Iran & the Middle East energy shock. Israel struck Iran's South Pars gas field, the world's largest natural gas reservoir. Iran retaliated against Qatar's Ras Laffan, the single largest LNG facility on earth, responsible for a fifth of global supply. QatarEnergy's own assessment is that 17% of export capacity is gone and recovery will take up to 5 years. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. European gas prices spiked 70%. Asian spot prices doubled. The only remaining scaled supplier? The United States. If Iran falls & a successor government is installed that the US controls or influences (the Delcy model described weeks ago) then roughly 40 to 45 million barrels per day of global production out of 103 million is effectively under US control. OPEC becomes irrelevant because the US coalition is now the marginal producer. Now add the gas dimension & it goes beyond oil. This war is solidifying the petrodollar system as it evolves into a hybrid petro/LNG-dollar. The old system was built on Saudi crude priced in USD. The new system is built on American crude plus American gas from the Gulf Coast, with no alternative supplier of comparable scale. The dependency is deeper because LNG infrastructure requires long term contracts & regasification terminals that lock buyers into supply relationships for decades. Europe & the Pacific allies (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc.) cannot pivot away as there is nowhere left to pivot to. They're now locked into the US energy system. The market confirms this. DXY went from 96 to 101. Gold down ~20% from its January all time high. Bitcoin down 20% on the year. Brent above $100. European & Asian institutions are liquidating precious metals and crypto to buy dollars because they need dollars to buy the only remaining scaled energy supply. The world is selling its gold to buy American energy in American currency. The dollar is now being weaponized through energy dependency. The structural repricing is happening regardless of how the conflict resolves. But the US grand strategy goes deeper.. Artificial intelligence is a physical industry. It runs on power and chips. Data centers require massive uninterrupted baseload electricity, primarily provided by natural gas. Semiconductor fabrication requires helium & rare earths. By choking the Strait of Hormuz & crippling Middle Eastern LNG & helium production, the US is systematically degrading China's ability to power its data centers & fabricate semiconductors at scale. The US is energy self sufficient, especially with newly captured Venezuelan reserves & expanding Gulf Coast capacity running on domestic gas. On the other hand, China is import dependent & every joule it imports effectively now transits chokepoints the US Navy controls.. Iran was the Belt & Road's overland energy bypass, the corridor that allowed China to mitigate the Malacca Trap. With Iran neutralized that corridor is severed. China faces a world where its compute infrastructure competes for scraps on a depleted global LNG market, while American data centers run at full capacity on domestic energy. Russia is next in the sequence. A post-war Iran reopening under US influence competes directly with Russia for the same refineries in China & India at lower cost. Iran's production costs are lower. Russia loses its last structural advantage in heavy crude & its economic lifeline. Additionally, under the Iran war cover, Ukraine has been opportunistically destroying Russian energy infrastructure & all signs point towards Russia being at the end of the line. The message from Washington becomes very simple: we dismantled two regimes in three months, your economy is about to get crushed, sign the Ukraine deal. Then Trump sits down with Xi holding every card. Complete energy dominance. The hybrid petro/LNG-dollar fortified, Iran cleared, Russia cornered, & China facing the Malacca Trap fully closed with no remaining energy bypass. Israel & the GCC are absorbing the kinetic cost of a conflict whose primary beneficiary, counter to the mainstream narrative, is actually America (First). Qatar offline for 5 years reprices the entire global gas market in favor of US exporters for the remainder of the decade. The Gulf states face years of rebuilding. Europe faces its 2nd energy crisis in four years. Sure, the average American might face temporary moderate inflation & higher gas prices. But if you are the architect of the US empire & you view the rise of China & Chinese ASI as an existential winner takes all scenario, the collateral damage is acceptable cost. Whoever controls the energy corridors controls the monetary system. Whoever controls the monetary system & the energy supply simultaneously controls the compute infrastructure that determines which civilization builds ASI first. The US is seizing all 3.
