Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov predicts tokenized equity surge after SEC exemption

  • —The SEC approved the Innovation Exemption, a five-year framework for onchain trading of tokenized US equities
  • —Nazarov cited three benefits: improved liquidity, lower compliance costs and 24/7 trading
  • —Chainlink supplies Data Feeds and CCIP for tokenized equity use cases, including corporate actions and settlement
  • —Nazarov has pushed the same argument at a CFTC roundtable and at Sibos 2026
Why it matters: The SEC exemption could move US equities onchain, expanding demand for Chainlink infrastructure and tokenized assets.
