ABOUT

At Chainlink’s SmartCon, Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov discusses how the new political commitment to crypto in the US has removed a major "counterbalancing force," accelerating the industry and legitimizing blockchain for global finance with CoinDesk’s Jennifer Sanasie and Sam Ewen. He emphasizes the crucial role of the Trump administration and agencies like the SEC in creating clarity, which is now converting Chainlink's long-term institutional deals into "go live" infrastructure implementations. Plus, he addresses the persistent misconception among some Democrats that blockchains encourage money laundering, arguing the technology actually reduces illicit financial activity compared to traditional systems.
