Bringing Tradfi Markets On-Chain! Chainlink’s Johann Eid + Ondo’s Ian De Bode on Taking Stock

*When TradFi finally goes on-chain, who sets the standards — and how fast do banks, asset managers, and governments follow?* In this Binance Blockchain Week 2025 panel, Chainlink Labs CBO Johann Eid and Ondo Finance President Ian De Bode reveal the catalysts behind 2025’s tokenization surge: GENIUS Act–driven stablecoin strategies, the U.S. Department of Commerce putting GDP data on-chain, and why every major financial institution now has a blockchain plan. From compliance and data to cross-chain settlement, Johann details Chainlink’s end-to-end stack (automated compliance, price/data feeds securing ~80% of DeFi, and a single cross-chain standard) that lets institutions issue, transact, and use tokenized assets at scale. Ian breaks down the new market reality: BlackRock’s ETF and tokenized treasury fund sparked an institutional arms race, permissionless tokenized stocks are already live for non‑U.S. markets (now accessible in Binance wallet), and why U.S. policy must balance investor protections with competitiveness as EU frameworks move ahead. *In this panel, Johann Eid and Ian De Bode cover:* ✅ 2025’s turning point: GENIUS Act, U.S. Commerce Dept GDP data on-chain, and TradFi FOMO into stablecoins and tokenization ✅ Chainlink’s blueprint: automated on-chain compliance, institutional data feeds, and a single cross-chain standard for global asset flows ✅ Ondo’s tokenization play: treasury funds, stocks, ETFs — and how permissionless secondary markets work outside the U.S. ✅ Gatekeepers vs. openness: the economic cost of locking tokenization to incumbents — and the EU’s retail-ready prospectus model ✅ Payments and settlement: JPMorgan’s Connexus efforts, and what it takes to make cross-chain DVP production-grade ✅ FMIs and efficiency: SWIFT/DTCC/Euroclear pilots to automate corporate actions and reduce reconciliation pain ✅ Corporate treasuries: 24/7 liquidity drives demand; next unlock is tokenized cash (banks tokenizing deposits) for seamless on-chain flows ✅ 6–12 month horizon: tokenized deposits + treasuries bridging to on-chain — the adoption path from pilots to scale ✅ Big question: What if U.S. Treasuries go on-chain? Instant settlement, fewer liquidity mismatches, and smoother stablecoin backing ✅ 2026 roadmaps: Chainlink connecting institutions to DeFi at trillion-dollar scale; Ondo’s purpose-built chain for next-gen asset management *⏱️ Timestamps:* ⏳ 00:00 – Introduction ⏳ 00:23 – Macro catalysts for TradFi's participation into crypto: GENIUS Act, Commerce Dept GDP data on-chain ⏳ 02:41 – Chainlink's perspective on TradFi's participation ⏳ 03:06 – Ondo's perspective on TradFi's participation ⏳ 05:45 – Ondo on stablecoins and tokenized assets in affecting TradFi's mental shift ⏳ 07:02 – Chainlink: Explaining as the standard ORACLE to facilitate TradFi conversations ⏳ 10:38 – Chainlink: "TradFi institutions are getting better at understanding us!" ⏳ 12:05 – Gatekeeping risk of tokenization: "What if only BIG institutions can participate?" ⏳ 13:04 – Tokenization: U.S. vs. non‑U.S. models; EU tokenization rules and retail prospectus ⏳ 15:40 – Connexus with JP Morgan + DVP: how to make moving bank payment rails onto tokenized markets LIVE? ⏳ 17:32 – Tokenizing cash: How we can get corporate treasuries to onboard them on-chain ⏳ 18:45 – What would need to happen for the US Government to issue tokenized bonds? ⏳ 21:58 – Looking to 2026: Chainlink and Ondo’s scale-up vision #binanceblockchainweek #chainlink #ondofinance #oracles #crypto2026 #bbw2025 *⚠️ RISK WARNING:* Digital asset prices can be volatile.
