Ash Bennington sits down with Andrew McCormick, head of institutional at Chainlink Labs, to explore one of the biggest shifts underway in financial markets: the integration of blockchain technology with regulated finance. Andrew explains why regulatory clarity has dramatically changed the landscape for banks and financial institutions, how stablecoins opened the door to broader adoption, and why he believes tokenized equities could be the next major wave. He also discusses the growing convergence between TradFi and DeFi, and how 24/7 markets and programmable assets could reshape the way investors access global financial markets. They also break down Chainlink’s expanding role beyond oracles — from data and cross-chain interoperability to compliance, orchestration, and infrastructure designed to connect traditional finance with blockchain networks.
