I’ve never been so excited for our industry. Watching Chainlink’s Sergey Nazarov speak at the Philadelphia Fed’s Fintech Conference yesterday sitting on a panel with JPMorgan’s Global Payments Co-head and AWS’s Head of Institutional Payments, presenting to a room that included Fed Governor Waller, SEC Chair Atkins, and Acting CFTC Chairman Pham this was the moment. He walked them through how Chainlink’s Automated Compliance Engine creates the compliance infrastructure institutions need. How CCIP solves cross-chain interoperability with ISO 20022 integration across 11,000+ Swift banks. How Proof of Reserve makes catastrophic minting errors like the $300 trillion fat finger incident technically impossible. The message landed: blockchain doesn’t make regulatory oversight harder, it makes it dramatically more efficient. Programmable compliance isn’t just possible… it’s the future. A year ago, the idea of discussing DeFi and regulated digital assets at a Federal Reserve conference was unimaginable. Yesterday, the co-head of payments at the world’s largest bank, AWS’s institutional payments chief, and Chainlink’s founder sat together mapping out exactly how traditional finance and blockchain converge. Fed President Anna Paulson opened by bringing together “technologists and bankers, regulators and entrepreneurs, academics and investors” to shape the future of finance. That’s exactly what we witnessed. The same day, JPMorgan launched JPM Coin on Base. BlackRock’s Head of Digital Assets spoke about tokenizing the world. Caroline Pham talked about ending the turf war and making America the crypto capital. For everyone who’s been building through the noise this is what we’ve been working toward. Not crypto replacing finance, but blockchain becoming the infrastructure layer for a more efficient, more transparent, more programmable financial system. Clear rules. Supportive regulators. Major institutions deploying at scale. The technology we’ve spent years perfecting suddenly being discussed as the solution to problems central banks and trillion dollar institutions are actively trying to solve. What a day. What a year. What a time to be building onchain. Chainlink America
