Sergey Nazarov, Co-Founder of Chainlink and one of the most influential voices in digital-asset infrastructure, joins Jeremy Szafron for a high-impact discussion on the GENIUS Act, stablecoins, tokenized Treasuries, and whether gold on-chain can out-yield government bonds. Nazarov says Washington’s new law is “the best trajectory the U.S. dollar has ever been on” and predicts the stable-coin market will jump from $200 billion to $2 trillion.
In this Kitco News interview, Nazarov explains why tokenized gold could generate yield, how Chainlink’s CCIP is already settling cross-border value between ANZ Bank and Fidelity International, and why retail CBDCs are off the table in America. With Wall Street warming to stable-coins, sovereigns racing to adopt on-chain settlement, and gold buyers eyeing new yield mechanics, Nazarov lays out a roadmap that has hedge funds – and central banks – paying attention.
