Link:NYC Recap 2026 | Key Announcements, Product Launches, Highlights, and More
Blog post from Chainlink
Chainlink’s Link:NYC event convened financial institutions, market-infrastructure providers, regulators, and technology firms to discuss tokenization, interoperability, digital-asset compliance, and the integration of traditional finance with decentralized markets. The company introduced CustodySync, launched with Anchorage Digital to synchronize qualified custodians’ collateral systems with DeFi lending markets, and Chainlink 24/7, a continuous pricing service for tokenized real-world assets that Aave is adopting. Chainlink also expanded its institutional partnerships, including bringing S&P Global Ratings’ vault risk assessments onchain, working with LG CNS and Hanwha Investment & Securities on Korean digital-asset infrastructure, integrating its services into OpenZeppelin’s development tools, and supporting tokenized Treasury, gold, and compliance applications through partners such as Archax, HKGX, and Further Asset Management. In his keynote, co-founder Sergey Nazarov described a future unified onchain financial system, while panel discussions involving DTCC, Swift, Bank of America, Fidelity, BlackRock, ICE, and others emphasized trusted data, shared standards, 24/7 collateral mobility, and programmable assets as requirements for institutional-scale tokenization.
