Andrew McCormick, Head of Institutional and Market Development at Chainlink Labs, will speak at the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore on October 7–8, 2026. The event is expected to host over 25 000 attendees and 300 speakers, including representatives from Nasdaq and BlackRock.
McCormick joined Chainlink Labs on June 4, 2026, following a career at Morgan Stanley, E*Trade, and eToro US. He advocates for the transition of institutional finance to onchain operations, focusing on 24/7 trading, T+0 settlement, and programmable collateral.
Chainlink Labs promotes its Data Streams and Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) as core infrastructure for this shift. The company aims to support the growth of tokenized assets, which McKinsey forecasts could reach $4 trillion by 2030.
McCormick identifies the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act as key regulatory drivers for the adoption of tokenized equities. The company's strategy focuses on attracting institutional trading desks rather than solely DeFi users.
