So, one hears that SBI Digital Markets – a name that frankly requires a decoder ring – has decided to put all its eggs in the Chainlink basket. Apparently, a ten trillion yen house doesn’t trust its own custodians, and requires the assistance of a clever bit of code to move tokens about. All very modern, no doubt, but one does wonder if a signed IOU and a trustworthy chap wouldn’t have sufficed. Something about ‘secure transfers’ and ‘sensitive data.’ Oh, the drama! It’s all rather frightfully efficient, naturally, and will accelerate “onchain finance expansion across Asia and Europe.” I shudder to think what that entails. 🙄
