SWIFT $LINK Daily Settlement Volume: $1.25 quadrillion annually
- SWIFT handles approximately $5 trillion per day in payment transactions, based on information from a 2021 Reddit discussion referencing a US Treasury document. This equates to roughly $1.25 quadrillion annually, SWIFT processes around 11.5 million payment messages daily, with an average payment size of about $45,000, though payment sizes vary widely.

Very excited to have spoken at the Aladdin Client Forum. I am very impressed by both Aladdin and the BlackRock team overall, they are some of the smartest people in global finance that I have ever met and I can clearly see why they have the market share that they do.
It is clear that BlackRock has a huge roll to play in on-chain asset management, fund tokenization and the overall growth of on-chain finance as the new preferred way that assets are managed by the top institutions. AI is clearly a tool that will interact in many useful ways with BlackRock systems and multiple chains, adding a new layer of complexity that needs orchestration for agents to efficiently and safely use various chains; the Chainlink ecosystem has built CRE to solve exactly these multifaceted orchestration problems. I am excited about what Chainlink can offer both the BlackRock tokenized fund management side and the Aladdin software side of BlackRock, I can see both of them massively benefiting from the Chainlink Standard.

We can't buy SWIFT stock, but we can buy $LINK
Used by SWIFT, DTCC, Euroclear, Fidelity, JP Morgan, and much more
on the one hand - you have a @Ripple founder saying $xrp and Ripple stock are too risky to hold for his preferences
on the other hand - you have the former Director of Innovation for Swift telling us he would buy Swift stock if he could - because Swift can now reach across public and private chains - Powered By $LINK.

London is the one to watch.
xStocks on Cchainlink CCIP: the 32 days since our last count
12,143 cross-chain messages
About $34 million in tokenised stocks
123 different stocks
That's 18% of all CCIP mainnet messages, and about 375 transfers a day, up from about 210 a day in early October.
A note: xStocks move through Backed's xBridge as data-only CCIP messages rather than standard token transfers, so none of this shows up in CCIP token volume figures. The real activity is bigger than the volume metrics suggest.
Top by value in that time period:
Nasdaq-100 ETF (QQQx): $7.35m
S&P 500 ETF (SPYx): $6.19m
Nvidia (NVDAx): $3.40m
Xiaomi (XIAOx): $3.37m
Alphabet (GOOGLx): $1.93m
Top by message count:
Nvidia (NVDAx): 1,840
S&P 500 ETF (SPYx): 1,553
MicroStrategy (MSTRx): 1,481
SpaceX (SPCXx): 1,215
Tesla (TSLAx): 1,187
US names make up 88% of the value, and Hong Kong names 12%.
London is the one to watch. The xStocks catalogue now lists 100 London-listed stocks. They were deployed on-chain in mid-August and are registered on the same CCIP-powered bridge as the US and Hong Kong names, but almost all of the supply is still in the issuer's wallets, and none have moved over CCIP yet.
xStocks aren't available to UK-based investors, so the home market for these names can't buy them yet.
Subject to regulatory approval, the London Stock Exchange intends to list xStocks on LSE 24, its new extended-hours venue, in 2027. LSEG repeated that at SALT London this week.
ethereum:0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca
The London Stock Exchange is embracing tokenization, with xStocks set to play a role.
“We’re going to be looking to list xStocks on LSE24. If you look at xStocks, it’s a 24/7 product, a product that never sleeps and it makes sense that we find a home for it there.”
- Darko Hajdukovic, Head of Securities Digitisation, DSM at LSEG, speaking at @SALTConference.
In September, Payward and the London Stock Exchange announced a partnership to tokenize the 100 largest London-listed equities as xStocks.
Subject to regulatory approval, LSE intends to list xStocks and support trading on LSE24 in 2027.

On Nov 5 the Chainlink Reserve silently stacked another 94500 $LINK pushing total holdings to -6.57M $LINK.

👀 $LINK just swept the $10.61 range low!
I'm leaning bullish here. A successful reclaim could send LINK toward $12 first, $13.50 next, and eventually the $15.78 range high.
Liquidity taken. Now it's time for bulls to step in. 🚀

BREAKING: Water is wet.
Of course the woman who wanted to recruit an “anti-crypto army” is unwilling to acknowledge the many positive things digital assets have done for affordability and everyday Americans, so allow me to name a few:
-Payroll processing takes 5 days on average today, as you can see below. Stablecoins permit employers to pay their employees nearly instantly. For most Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck, getting paid 5 days earlier is a big deal.
-Warren’s beloved big banks charge nearly 15% to send $200 overseas, and the money takes days or weeks to arrive. Digital assets spare its customers many of the unnecessary fees and can move the funds nearly instantly, any day of the week.
For someone who claims to champion affordability and hates junk fees, she sure loves protecting them. Ultimately, digital assets have made a clear case, but she just keeps voting against them and the rules of the road she claims she wants, because she actually wants to kill crypto.
Builders should plan accordingly.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), the incoming Banking chair, could not name a positive impact of crypto on the financial system.
“I’m still waiting for crypto to make that case,” she told me.

Bitcoin in, tokenised stock out, across two chains in under a minute. ⚡
Today someone sent 0.1 cbBTC (Coinbase Wrapped BTC, about $7.3k) from Monad to Base using Enso, powered by Chainlink CCIP.
It wasn't a plain transfer. CCIP carried the tokens and a set of instructions.
When it landed on Base, the cbBTC was swapped automatically, and the user received 60.89 MSTRc, Coinbase's tokenised Strategy shares.
It took one transaction and 55 seconds. This is called a programmable token transfer: value and logic moving together.🔗

Two white Ole Miss students are accused of making monkey noises outside the apartment of a black student. It's one of the top national news stories in the nation.
Meanwhile, 4 black men in Albany, Georgia are charged with murdering a 15-year-old white kid and there is no national news coverage.
Why is that?

Democrats wanted to stop crypto issuers from signing away their obligations in fine print just to dodge securities laws. The Clarity Act shuts that down.

We've now found test tokens named USDx and Staked USDx (sUSDx) moving over Chainlink CCIP between Ethereum Sepolia and X Layer Testnet, in both directions.
The Sepolia USDx is a verified contract from the same family as Axis's official USDx on Ethereum.
It has the same contract name and compiler, plus the bridge-mint functions Axis documents for future cross-chain supply.
Axis's docs still say USDx isn't deployed outside Ethereum, and these tokens aren't in the CCIP Directory, so this looks like a testnet rehearsal.
ethereum:0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca
4 new tokens just landed in the Chainlink CCIP Directory for X Layer:
• USDC
• syrupUSDC, syrupUSDT, syrupUSDG (Maple Finance)
Why now? An Aave proposal to list syrupUSDC on X Layer requires "X Layer added to the Chainlink CCIP lane" before the market can go live. Maple's X Layer contracts went up in late October, test transfers followed, and the listing landed today.
Meanwhile, 99% of X Layer's CCIP traffic so far has been messages, not token transfers. Most of it is xStocks: tokenised stocks bridging across chains via CCIP.
Tokenised equities first, now yield-bearing stablecoins.
