“Without this interoperability, you have these kind of liquidity islands.” – 03:09
Sergey Nazarov, Co-Founder of Chainlink, joins Remy Blaire at the New York Stock Exchange to discuss the evolving landscape of blockchain technology and its increasing adoption by institutions.
Sergey highlights the current state of blockchain and institutional adoption, noting that we are in an accelerated phase driven by government regulatory clarity. He emphasizes that the term “tokenization” has become central to discussions among major U.S. institutions, replacing the broader term “digital assets.” Tokenization, he explained, can apply to a wide range of assets, including equities, funds, and commodities.
As the pair examine the blockchain hype cycle, Sergey points out that while scalability has been a significant focus, privacy is emerging as a critical trend that remains largely unsolved. He also discusses the importance of Oracle networks, which are essential for advanced institutional transactions that require data connectivity, compliance, and identity verification.
