Chainlink Quietly Secures 95% Of Tokenized Assets On Chain

What happens to global finance when countries stop trusting each other? This episode makes the case that every major crisis has pushed crypto forward, from the 2008 bank bailouts that led to Bitcoin to the COVID money printing that led to DeFi.

Now the breakdown of trust between nations is putting crypto forward as a neutral system the world can transact on. Johann Eid is the Chief Business Officer at Chainlink.

The conversation breaks down Chainlink as the 'invisible center' of crypto: CCIP for moving value across chains, data that underpins DeFi, and CRE for bringing legacy infrastructure like DTCC on chain. It covers why governments and financial institutions are racing to adopt crypto, and how stablecoins and DeFi open up finance to people without reliable access. It also explores why Chainlink complements layer 1s, why auditability makes crypto essential for trustworthy AI, and why billions of mostly private chains are coming.
