Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov argues the current crypto market cycle is defined by fundamental utility and banking integration, not retail speculation. This institutional pivot is creating unprecedented demand for high-performance infrastructure capable of unlocking Bitcoin’s vast, dormant capital. Emerging as a pivotal solution, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) aims to bridge this gap by implementing the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) as a Bitcoin Layer 2, merging security with the speed required for the next phase of finance.

Chainlink (LINK) and Polymarket have launched a partnership integrating Chainlink’s oracle solutions—Data Streams and Automation—on Polygon’s mainnet. This allows Polymarket to create low-latency, verifiable prediction markets for cryptocurrency pairs and subjective queries, moving away from social voting mechanisms. Sergey Nazarov, Chainlink’s co-founder, highlighted the importance of tamper-proof data for trustworthy global prediction signals. Chainlink, which secures nearly $100 billion in DeFi value, continues expanding its ecosystem, while Polymarket’s recent acquisitions and partnerships signal growth ambitions. Following the news, LINK’s price surged 5% to $24.70, outperforming Bitcoin year-to-date.

Polymarket has replaced UMA with Chainlink as its primary oracle for resolving price-based prediction markets, starting with Bitcoin and cryptocurrency pairs. This shift addresses previous user disputes over UMA’s resolution system, which relied on token holder voting and faced manipulation concerns. While initially focused on 366 trading pairs, the collaboration may expand to subjective questions, though UMA will retain its role for non-price markets. The move coincides with Chainlink’s growing institutional adoption, including recent partnerships with US government agencies.

Polymarket has partnered with Chainlink to upgrade its prediction market platform on Polygon, integrating Chainlink Data Streams for low-latency price feeds and Chainlink Automation for on-chain resolution. This eliminates delays in market settlement and reduces disputes by relying on verifiable data rather than subjective decisions. The integration specifically benefits price-based markets like Bitcoin and Ethereum forecasts, allowing instant closure once conditions are met. This addresses previous governance challenges where Polymarket’s optimistic oracle model was criticized for potential manipulation by large stakeholders. The collaboration may expand to less clear-cut markets, potentially reducing bias and increasing prediction markets’ credibility as tools for real-world sentiment gauging.

Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov reveals the decentralized oracle network is working with multiple Trump administration agencies to transition government functions to blockchain systems. Following their Department of Commerce collaboration that feeds economic data into crypto markets, Chainlink is discussing broader initiatives including cross-chain solutions with federal and state governments. While current implementations focus on low-risk public data integration, the company’s ambitious long-term vision includes bringing U.S. elections onto blockchain for enhanced verification and trust. Nazarov emphasizes that the technology for blockchain election systems is ready, but implementation faces political rather than technical hurdles, particularly around identity verification and privacy concerns that have become sensitive issues in current political discourse.

SBI Group, Japan’s prominent financial conglomerate with over $200 billion in assets, has entered a strategic partnership with Chainlink to advance blockchain adoption and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. The collaboration will utilize Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to facilitate tokenized RWAs, funds, and regulated stablecoins, initially focusing on the Japanese market. Chainlink’s technology will provide on-chain verification of reserves for stablecoins and net asset value data for tokenized funds, enhancing transparency and operational efficiency. This partnership builds on previous collaborations under Singapore’s Project Guardian and aligns with growing institutional interest in RWA tokenization, as evidenced by recent Federal Reserve research and Ripple’s similar initiatives with SBI. The news has positively impacted Chainlink’s native token LINK, which has surged 40% in the past month.
