Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink, is scheduled to participate in the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s 10th Annual Fintech Conference on September 24-25, 2026, following his appearance at the Ninth Annual Fintech Conference in November 2025. He will join executives from BlackRock and Vanguard, along with a representative from Sharplink, on a panel moderated by Josh Lipsky of the Atlantic Council. The discussion will examine how new regulatory frameworks are affecting digital assets, particularly stablecoins and tokenized deposits. Chainlink’s participation highlights growing institutional and regulatory attention to the sector. The company operates an oracle network that enables blockchain-based smart contracts to use real-world data. Chainlink trading activity was described as quiet, with no reported volume, as markets await further regulatory developments. The Federal Reserve is also considering how crypto and stablecoin companies access banking services, including a proposal for skinny master accounts that could affect payment access, stablecoin issuance, exchange operations and institutional custody. Investors are watching the event for regulatory signals and any implications for market sentiment, asset pricing and adoption, while prediction-market pricing has been described as supportive of scenarios involving greater Bitcoin regulatory clarity and institutional participation.
