Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov predicted on September 25, 2026, at a panel at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, a significant increase in tokenized equities on blockchain. This forecast is based on the SEC’s approval of the Innovation Exemption, a five-year regulatory framework allowing onchain trading of tokenized US equities. According to Nazarov, the US equity market, which represents the majority of global financial system equity value and flow, would need this technological transition to maintain its global leadership position. Chainlink positions itself as an infrastructure provider for these tokenized markets, with its Data Feeds product and the CCIP (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol). Expected benefits include improved liquidity, reduced compliance costs, and around-the-clock trading.
