LINK is in a better position than XRP to the benefit from the coming wave of institutional blockchain adoption and trillions in assets being tokenized onchain A common response to this is "but Chainlink and XRPL don't compete 1:1 on product basis!!" That's true but also completely misses the point Chainlink offers institutions an all-in-platform spanning onchain data delivery, cross-chain interoperability, automated compliance, privacy-preserving compute, and legacy system connectivity These are all core requirements for the tokenization of real-world assets (funds, equities, commodities, currencies, etc) across any blockchain network (public or private) as well as to enable the ability to transact across any blockchain using existing infrastructure and messaging standards (e.g., Swift) Chainlink is already working with the largest financial institutions and infrastructures in the world on adopting blockchains and tokenized assets (Swift, DTCC, Euroclear, J.P. Morgan, Mastercard, Central Bank of Brazil, UBS, SBI, Fidelity International, ANZ and many others) No "NDAs", "breadcrumbs", 10 year old PDF slides, or grand conspiracy theories, just recent direct public confirmation from these institutions that they're working with Chainlink and using its technology A bet on XRP is a bet that institutions will adopt the XRPL as their ledger over other blockchains (including their own private chains) and/or adopt XRP as a "bridge currency" digital asset A bet on LINK is that institutions will adopt blockchains as a technology, regardless of which specific ledger they decide to use (existing public chains or their own private chains), and/or adopt any digital assets in their transactional workflows (crypto-native, stablecoins, and/or tokenized RWAs) Chainlink services already secure 92B+ (TVS) across 60+ blockchain networks via 2,000+ oracle networks used by 450+ applications, with more public and private blockchains regularly integrated all the time XRPL has a DeFi TVL of just 100M from 9 applications that operate on one blockchain (~1000x less capital than Chainlink secures) Simply put, Chainlink offers a more valuable set of products to institutions that is actually seeing real traction, with a chain-agnostic tech stack that means it benefits regardless of which blockchain is used More in next tweet 🧵👇(Zach Rynes | CLG)
