After an extensive security review, @Lombard_Finance deprecates its legacy solution & is migrating to Chainlink CCIP to secure $1B in Bitcoin assets. As Lombard’s exclusive cross-chain infra, CCIP is expanding the distribution of LBTC & BTC.b across all chains. DeFi will win.

NEW: @The_DTCC is integrating Chainlink data and orchestration standards into the DTCC’s Collateral AppChain. DTCC and Chainlink are advancing 24/7, near-real-time collateral workflows across global markets and blockchains.

Have you noticed the $LINK spot ETF? Six straight months of net inflows. Zero monthly outflows since launch. NOT ONE! $112.97M in cumulative inflows. $120.55M in total assets. While CT debates price, institutions keep accumulating every month. How long will you skip $LINK?👇

Just in: The SEC's December no-action letter was the permission slip @The_DTCC needed to start tokenizing their quadrillion-dollar inventory of assets, @nchakar shares.

I'm going to say it: LayerZero $ZRO has done more for @chainlink marketing in the last month than the whole $LINK Marketing and community advocate teams have done in the previous 5 years combined. Really says something about both teams.

The Arbitrum Security Council has taken emergency action to freeze the 30,766 ETH being held in the address on Arbitrum One that is connected to the KelpDAO exploit. The Security Council acted with input from law enforcement as to the exploiter’s identity, and, at all times, weighed its commitment to the security and integrity of the Arbitrum community without impacting any Arbitrum users or applications. After significant technical diligence and deliberation, the Security Council identified and executed a technical approach to move funds to safety without affecting any other chain state or Arbitrum users. As of April 20 11:26pm ET the funds have been successfully transferred to an intermediary frozen wallet. They are no longer accessible to the address that originally held the funds, and can only be moved by further action by Arbitrum governance, which will be coordinated with relevant parties.

Celebrating incidents like this is misguided. The only winners are fraudsters and criminals. Everyone else loses. Every failure slows the path to institutional scale and reinforces the perception that this market isn’t ready. That matters. No serious participant should want a protocol to fail. This is a multi-chain future. Different networks and platforms will need to connect, whether people like it or not. The real standard is simple: does it work under pressure. Everything else is noise.

what is this ugly shit i wanna kill myself everytime i touch traditional crypto product

Guess who taught Socrates

"We don't actually want chains maximizing for revenue today. They should be maximizing for market share and embeddedness [in the future]." @Matt_Hougan @bitwise
