Nazarov believes that Wall Street banks will develop their own blockchains and create cross-chain stablecoins. These will use Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), currently in early access, for connections.

Chainlink, a network of nodes that provide data from outside blockchain sources to smart contracts on the blockchain, is preparing to launch a pilot, said Nazarov. He added that once they begin testing with real value transfers between different bank chains, the potential for growth is limitless.
