Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink, has laid out a decisive vision for the future of stablecoins, asserting that forthcoming U.S. regulations will catalyse a surge in global stablecoin issuances.
In his view, Chainlink is uniquely positioned to support this transformation, providing the necessary infrastructure for a new generation of compliant, scalable digital currencies.
In anticipation of these regulatory shifts, Nazarov stressed that all future stablecoins will need to meet three critical requirements: verifiable proof of reserves, robust cross-chain connectivity, and built-in compliance features such as on-chain identity. He argued that Chainlink stands alone as the only platform currently offering all three capabilities within a single, cohesive system.
Stablecoin regulation in the US will kick off a wave of new stablecoins in the US and all over the world. They will all need proof of reserves and cross-chain connectivity to be used as a source of payment for the growing digital asset economy and tokenized funds.

Building on existing offerings, Nazarov noted that Chainlink already supports proof of reserves and cross-chain interoperability. However, he also revealed that the platform is expanding its toolkit to include compliance and identity functionality, ensuring that stablecoin transactions remain efficient and compliant even in tightly regulated environments. This holistic strategy, he explained, makes Chainlink a truly end-to-end infrastructure solution for the rapidly evolving digital asset economy.
Further strengthening this claim, Nazarov highlighted the role of Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and Chainlink Functions. Together, these tools allow developers to manage everything from reserve validation to compliance workflows within a single environment—namely, the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE). This unified approach significantly reduces the technical complexity of launching and managing fully compliant stablecoins.
As institutional interest in tokenized assets and digital settlements grows, Nazarov emphasized that fragmented infrastructure will no longer meet the needs of the market. Chainlink, he said, is being developed as the foundational layer that can handle the full lifecycle of stablecoin transactions—securely, compliantly, and at scale.
Reinforcing this mission, Chainlink has recently entered into a strategic partnership with Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), a major financial free zone overseeing firms that manage over $635 billion in assets. The partnership, announced on March 24, outlines a shared vision to bridge traditional finance and blockchain innovation by integrating Chainlink’s oracle technology into ADGM’s regulated ecosystem.
