According to CNBC, ARK Invest's Chief Futurist Brett Winton stated that SpaceX's upcoming IPO could become one of the most significant stock offerings in history, with its satellite internet business Starlink alone being sufficient to support a valuation of nearly $2 trillion.SpaceX has set the IPO price at $135 per share, planning to list on Nasdaq on June 12, with a pre-IPO valuation of approximately $1.77 trillion. The company plans to sell 555.6 million shares, raising about $75 billion, and underwriters may also purchase an additional 83.33 million shares at the IPO price, corresponding to about $11.2 billion. After the IPO is completed, Musk will hold over 82% of the voting control.Winton noted that SpaceX's growth prospects are not limited to launch services but are closely tied to the rapid expansion of AI. ARK estimates that by 2030, the combined enterprise value of companies developing and operating foundational AI models could reach $15 trillion to $20 trillion.Winton stated that investors typically focus on SpaceX's reusable rockets, but Starlink is the main driver of ARK's valuation logic. He mentioned that the current satellite constellation of Starlink can provide approximately 500 Tbps of bandwidth, generating annual revenue of about $13 billion. With the Starship rocket coming into operation, SpaceX can significantly reduce launch costs and deploy more satellites at a faster pace.

According to Finance Feeds, payment giant Mastercard has partnered with the decentralized oracle protocol Chainlink to establish a direct fiat-to-cryptocurrency gateway for its global users.This collaboration allows Mastercard cardholders to bypass centralized exchanges and directly acquire digital assets within on-chain smart contracts. The initial card transaction layer is handled by Shift4 Payments, while Zero Hash is responsible for compliance tracking, custody routing, and instant settlement from fiat to cryptocurrency. Ultimately, the funds are pushed to a public distributed ledger through Chainlink's infrastructure and integrated into the Swapper Finance platform, which utilizes XSwap to obtain liquidity from decentralized exchanges like Uniswap.This integration compresses card processing, regulatory review, cross-chain messaging, and AMM Swap into a single continuous transaction.

According to CoinDesk, after KelpDAO was attacked resulting in a loss of $292 million, the industry's scrutiny of the security of cross-chain infrastructure continues to heat up, with approximately $4 billion in assets having completed or currently migrating from LayerZero to Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP).The DeFi protocol Lombard is the latest project to join this migration trend. The protocol announced it would abandon LayerZero and migrate over $1 billion in Bitcoin-backed assets to Chainlink CCIP, stating that this decision stemmed from a comprehensive internal security review following the April attack incident.Lombard issues two types of Bitcoin-backed tokens—LBTC and BTC.b—and will prioritize the migration of assets on chains such as Solana, Etherlink, Berachain, Corn, and TAC, while terminating the use of LayerZero on Morph and Swell. Lombard stated that the reason for choosing CCIP is its independent node operators, built-in rate limiting mechanisms, and audited infrastructure. Additionally, the protocol will adopt Chainlink's cross-chain token standard to achieve asset cross-chain circulation through a burn-and-mint model.Previously, Kelp DAO, Solv Protocol, Re, and the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken have all completed similar migrations, with these projects collectively transferring approximately $4 billion in assets. Chainlink Labs Chief Business Officer Johann Eid stated, "We are witnessing a continued wave of risk-averse migration within the industry."

According to The Block, Sharplink CEO Joseph Chalom stated that the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq are advancing 24/7 trading, and the U.S. Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation is promoting tokenized collateral, along with Bullish's acquisition of Equiniti, indicating that the public equity on-chain process may be faster than the market expects.Meanwhile, several Ethereum reserve companies have significantly retreated from their summer 2025 highs, with a noticeable contraction in the market value to net asset value ratio. Chalom mentioned that some companies are under pressure due to prematurely issuing preferred stock or convertible bonds; Sharplink focuses more on equity financing and staking yields while trying to keep the balance sheet simple.He also stated that over the past year and a half, Bitcoin and Ethereum have behaved more like risk assets, but as stablecoins, tokenized assets, DeFi, and AI applications expand on Ethereum, Ethereum may further differentiate from Bitcoin in the long term.

According to CoinDesk, Kraken announced that it will use Chainlink's cross-chain interoperability protocol CCIP, replacing LayerZero as the exclusive cross-chain infrastructure for its wrapped assets, covering kBTC and more wrapped assets in the future. This migration involves over $3 billion in TVL, following a $292 million LayerZero-related cross-chain attack incident that occurred in April. Kraken stated that the migration will cover networks such as Ink, Ethereum, Unichain, and Optimism. kBTC is set to launch in 2024, with a current market value of approximately $260 million. Coinbase had previously also chosen Chainlink CCIP as the sole cross-chain bridge solution for about $7 billion in wrapped tokens.

Global financial infrastructure giant DTCC (whose subsidiary processed $47 trillion in securities transactions in 2025) announced on Tuesday that it will integrate Chainlink as the data and orchestration layer for its upcoming tokenized collateral platform.DTCC's Collateral AppChain will utilize the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) and its data standards to support eligibility checks, valuations, margin calculations, collateral optimization, and settlement functions, with a target to go live in Q4 2026.Nadine Chakar, DTCC's Global Head of Digital Assets, stated that the goal is to achieve near real-time collateral management between global markets and blockchain through tokenization and distributed ledger technology, operating 24/7. Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov described collateral management as "the killer application that traditional finance has been waiting for." The platform is designed as a shared infrastructure for collateral providers, recipients, managers, third-party agents, and custodians, rather than a bilateral institutional chain. This collaboration continues the foundation of previous partnerships between the two parties, such as in the Smart NAV pilot project.

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) announced that its blockchain-based collateral management platform, Collateral AppChain, will integrate Chainlink infrastructure to drive traditional financial markets towards 24/7, near real-time collateral management and settlement. DTCC stated that the platform is built on the Besu blockchain and will utilize Chainlink's Runtime Environment (CRE) and data standards to support asset pricing, valuation, margin calculation, collateral optimization, and settlement processes. The platform achieves real-time collateral movement across institutions, markets, and time zones through asset tokenization and smart contract automation.

On May 9 and 10, the Chainlink network recorded 282,170 and 264,090 unique active LINK addresses, respectively, the highest levels since September 2025. The surge in on-chain activity comes against the backdrop of several institutional-grade DeFi projects announcing their migration of cross-chain infrastructure to Chainlink CCIP. On May 7, Solv Protocol announced the completion of a security review following the April Kelp DAO vulnerability incident and decided to migrate over $700 million in tokenized Bitcoin assets (SolvBTC and xSolvBTC) from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP.Previously, Kelp DAO had also announced the migration of its rsETH infrastructure to Chainlink CCIP. These initiatives represent a significant shift of institutional-grade DeFi infrastructure from LayerZero to the Chainlink cross-chain ecosystem. Additionally, earlier this month, data showed that whale wallets holding between 100,000 and 10 million LINK increased their holdings by 32.93 million LINK within 30 days.
