What if the biggest mistake in crypto is valuing $LINK against crypto?
The real TAM is global finance, tokenized assets, payments, data, AI and every chain that needs to talk to anything else.
I broke down why the market may be thinking way too small 👇

Tomorrow, Link:NYC will be live on X, YouTube, & chain.link.
Hear from leaders at DTCC, Swift, Fidelity, ICE, Chainlink, & many more on how global finance is moving onchain.
Follow @chainlink and watch the livestream on YouTube: youtube.com/live/5WLMVKkv2Ss…
One of the most consequential developments in the history of blockchain just happened
DTCC, the institution at the center of America’s securities infrastructure, has officially launched its tokenization service
34 securities at launch. 24/7 transfers. The same legal rights as traditional securities. And an institution responsible for custodying more than $100 trillion in financial assets
Consider what this makes possible
Treasuries, equities, and ETFs can increasingly move through programmable financial infrastructure, creating the potential to mobilize collateral around the clock, reduce trapped capital, and fundamentally change how financial institutions manage liquidity
But there’s a deeper implication
As assets become available across multiple blockchain networks, the infrastructure connecting those networks to each other, to institutional data, and to existing financial systems becomes increasingly valuable
The race to tokenize the world’s assets is becoming a race to connect them
And the companies that solve that problem could become some of the most important financial infrastructure providers of the next century
🚨 @The_DTCC's Tokenization Service went live today:
- 34 securities available to tokenize at launch
- DTCC didn't publicly disclose which ones, but said they'd come from select large-cap Russell 1000 stocks, select ETFs and US Treasuries
- Each token is backed 1:1 by a security held at DTC with the same legal rights
- Tokens can move 24/7 between DTC-registered wallets
@CantonNetwork and DTCC's private Besu network are live at launch, with @StellarOrg and Circle's @Arc expected in 2027.
For context, DTC has about $30 trillion in assets under custody.

My good friend Monte Carlo and I ran Bitcoin out to 2034. 5,000 times 🎲
Not one run ended below today's $80K.
The median finish: $1.48M 🚀
- - -
Each line on the chart is one run, and the pink curve on the right shows the final distribution in 2034. Even the bottom 5% finish around $464K, almost 6x from here.
He's very optimistic, and honestly so am I 😄
Most don't realize that the $LINK god candle will be a $42 562% move

For the second week in a row, LINK has been the most traded asset on Coinbase for Agents.
The top 3 assets by notional trading volume from 10/19 to 10/25:
🥇 $LINK
🥈 $BTC
🥉 $ETH
Coinbase for Agents is now natively available on Grok, Grok Bot, Perplexity Computer, Composio, and via MCP on other AI platforms.
The Hong Kong Gold Exchange is bringing its gold-backed token to $LINK CCIP.
Each XGZ is one gram of 99.99% gold held in HKGX-approved vaults, and 1,000 tokens can be redeemed for a physical kilo bar after KYC. Today XGZ lives on $ETH. CCIP is how it reaches other chains.
Supply is still small, about 39,000 tokens. What stands out is the issuer: an exchange whose history goes back to 1910.... I'm sure its nothing.

The house always wins because the house controls the dice.
A patent published this week pulls the dice out of the operator’s code and seeds them with @chainlink VRF.
Slot machines. Fish-hunting cabinets. Loot drops.
Casino randomness just got an oracle. $LINK 🧵
Chainlink says CustodySync is only the first of several announcements this week, with Link:NYC streaming live Oct 29… 👀
Starting with custody and DeFi lending rather than anything retail tells you who this week is aimed at.

Thanks for sharing @AndrewMcMarkets
We feel Chainlink is one of the purest ways to get exposure to RWA adoption / tokenization.
Not a recommendation***
Past performance is no guarantee of future success
Really exciting to see major financial institutions like @CharlesSchwab do a deep dive into the @chainlink story. The world is changing quickly.

13F tidal wave incoming... 🚨⚠️
Altium Investment Strategies increased its $GLNK holdings by nearly 204%, more than tripling its position.
I suspect this is just the beginning. Watch the filings.
