- Financial leaders emphasize the importance of interoperability for institutional blockchain adoption.
- ANZ praises CCIP for its privacy capabilities, which can enhance integration across blockchain networks.
Financial leaders are recognizing the critical role of interoperability in the future of institutional blockchain adoption. ANZ, HSBC and SBI Digital Markets have highlighted how the CCIP from Chainlink can revolutionalise capital markets.
Nigel Dobson from ANZ, the Banking Services Lead, dubbed CCIP as the game changer for the institutional adoption of blockchain. He explained that it provides end-to-end privacy between block chain networks and that this is something that will drive integration as it resolves two of the main challenges with implementation; operation and regulation.
Edgar Gehringer of HSBC Global Asset Management also underscored the importance of interoperability. He stated, “You want to use [assets]in multi-markets—why should you restrict yourself to only one market?” Gehringer added that the industry is only at the early stages of this transformative journey.
Tom Menner from SBI Digital Markets had a similar point of view about the situation. He ruled out the possibility of having one blockchain for the regulated financial markets across the globe. However, he supported creation of interconnected networks, comparing them to SWIFT, which is a well known system in the financial domain.
With the need for systems that link various blockchains, the multi-chain approach is gradually becoming the bedrock for the institutional adoption of blockchain. Interoperability technologies like CCIP are seen by the leaders as the key to avoiding fragmentation within the blockchain space.
In this way, CCIP is able to overcome some of the main issues that affect privacy, scalability and legal issues. It is ideal for financial institutions that want to adopt blockchain technology but also want to ensure that their operations remain safe and secure.

Whale activity is known to affect market trends as big buys lead to bullish trends. After this rise in accumulation, LINK has appreciated by 21% within the last month and is performing better than other cryptocurrencies. The token is presently hovering around $13.37, which is a far cry from its recent lows.
The technical analysis of Chainlink shows that the price is likely to continue rising. The price has broken through the 50-day an 100-day SMA confirming the presence of a bullish trend. Such levels may act as a support for further development, and the LINK price staying above them may signal further stabilization of the coin.
The Awesome Oscillator (AO) also shows the bullish trend as it has been gaining constantly in the last 30 days. Despite the recent retracement, analysts believe that this may be only a temporary pull-back, which can serve as a spring board for further LINK growth. These present levels at $12.32 and $11.83 give a firm foundation of support which will minimize further selling pressure and create a good environment to move upwards again.
