Sergey Nazarov breaks down what’s coming next for capital markets, governments, and the Chainlink ecosystem
Chainlink’s CCIP (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol) aims to merge traditional finance and DeFi by enabling secure, seamless blockchain interactions, as highlighted by Sergey Nazarov; it has already facilitated over $14 trillion in onchain transactions, per Chainlink documentation.
The “Internet of Contracts” vision, likened to TCP/IP’s role in the internet, seeks to standardize connections between public and private blockchains, potentially transforming global capital markets, as Nazarov discussed in a 2023 Real Vision interview.
This shift challenges regulatory frameworks, as DeFi’s disintermediation—removing financial intermediaries—requires new policies; by April 2021, DeFi held over $60 billion in value, per The Regulatory Review, signaling its rapid growth and impact.
