Chainlink

Chainlink reported a major week of U.S. policy momentum. Co-founder Sergey Nazarov joined President Trump and top executives at the White House, and separately advised policymakers and industry leaders at the CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee roundtable, where he stressed modernizing the U.S. financial system with blockchain, smart contracts, and oracle technology.

The thread also reiterated that Wyoming's Stable Token Commission deprecated its legacy bridge and migrated FRNT — the first fully-reserved, fiat-backed stable token issued by a U.S. public entity — to Chainlink CCIP.

Nethermind, the development firm behind the largest Ethereum execution client, is deprecating its legacy cross-chain infrastructure and migrating to Chainlink. Following an extensive review, Nethermind has joined the Chainlink Network as a node operator to secure CCIP and Data Feeds.

It will also contribute as a development partner, building developer tooling and templates to accelerate institutional adoption for what it calls a joint mission to bring institutions onchain securely.

The Wyoming Stable Token Commission has deprecated the LayerZero bridge (Stargate) and migrated the Frontier Stable Token (FRNT) to Chainlink CCIP, following a thorough review. Bridging for FRNT will now be available via Chainlink CCIP, with Wyoming selecting Chainlink as its exclusive cross-chain infrastructure on security grounds.

Chainlink introduced Link:NYC, a new flagship event bringing together senior banking and capital markets leaders to accelerate onchain finance adoption. The event is scheduled for October 29, 2026 in New York.

Chainlink announced three new integrations: re uses CCIP to secure reUSD transfers across Ethereum and Solana; Obligate uses SmartData to bring NAV onchain for its $200M+ oTFY token; and Radiant Prime uses Proof of Reserve to enhance transparency for its tokenized investment strategy.

xStocks is now live on Hyperliquid, powered by Chainlink CCIP. The integration brings tokenized spot exposure to U.S. stocks and ETFs into the HyperEVM/HyperCore ecosystem, beginning with NVDAx, SPYx, QQQx, SKHYx, and MUx, letting perp traders and spot holders trade in the same ecosystem.

Chainlink posted its periodic Adoption Update, noting 8 recent integrations of the Chainlink standard across 5 services and 6 different chains. Named users include Apex Global Group, Bitget, BitGo, Blockchain Valley @ Cyberport, CSPro, FORMS HK, HastraFi, LBank Exchange, and Nocturn.

Chainlink has introduced paid, self-serve access to Data Streams for market makers and algorithmic traders. Through a new onboarding portal, participants can browse the Streams catalog, access paid tiers and bundles, generate API credentials, and monitor usage with only an email required to sign up.

Chainlink TWAP Data Streams are now live powering Polymarket's 5- and 15-minute crypto markets. With over $9B in trading volume to date, Chainlink-powered Polymarket markets now use time-weighted average pricing for an enhanced user experience.

Chainlink updated its work in the Bank of England's Synchronisation Lab, showing how the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) unlocks synchronized settlement between central bank money and tokenized assets on public ledgers. The update builds on Chainlink's earlier selection to participate in the lab supporting synchronized settlement between central bank money and onchain securities.
