Industry-leading decentralized oracle platform Chainlink announced it will host Link:NYC, an invitation-only, premier event connecting senior banking and capital markets leaders to accelerate onchain finance. Link:NYC will take place October 29, 2026, in the financial capital of the world, with themes including institutional tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), agentic finance, interoperability, financial market infrastructure, stablecoins, and payments.
Attendees will span global and regional banks, market infrastructure providers, exchanges, asset managers, institutional allocators, issuers, treasury teams, regulators, and public-sector leaders.
Feature speakers include Chainlink co-founder, Sergey Nazarov; Jonathan Ehrenfeld Solé, Head of Strategy at Swift; Michael Blaugrund, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at Intercontinental Exchange (ICE); Cynthia Lo Bessette, Head of Fidelity Digital Asset Management at Fidelity Investments; and Dan Ives, Partner and Senior Managing Director, Analyst, at Yorkville Ives & Co., with more to be added in the coming weeks.
Panels and discussions are designed for industry leaders across banking, capital markets, institutional investing, and government, with sessions built around key decisions shaping market structure and digital asset adoption. All programming will be livestreamed and available on Chainlink’s official social media channels and the full agenda will be continuously updated.
Chainlink’s industry-standard oracle infrastructure is at the forefront of unlocking an $867 trillion market opportunity for RWAs from cash to foreign currencies, money market funds, equities, and consumer credit.
The Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), which allows institutions to seamlessly connect with onchain finance through their legacy infrastructure, and Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), which enables assets to move between chains with institutional-grade security, are the foundation for bringing Wall Street onchain.
The only oracle platform to meet ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 security standards, Chainlink’s signed partnerships with traditional finance giants include Swift, Mastercard, and ICE, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange.
Chainlink’s decentralized oracle infrastructure, which has enabled over $33 trillion in transaction value, also plays a critical role at the intersection of traditional industries and AI – from enhancing global telecommunications to standardizing corporate actions processing and powering the emerging agentic economy.
