Chainlink's Nazarov says banks are building their own tokenized deposit chains

  • —Nazarov appeared on three Sibos 2026 panels alongside DTCC, J.P. Morgan and Microsoft
  • —Chainlink is pushing CCIP and CRE to connect separate bank blockchains
  • —A connectivity framework with Swift's blockchain ledger was demonstrated
  • —Chainlink and DTCC are building the Collateral AppChain for near real-time collateral management
Why it matters: Tokenized deposits could become core institutional settlement rails, and demand for interoperability would strengthen Chainlink's position.
