In his analysis, Barrett pointed out that the vote might create a chance for politicians of both parties to express their support for innovations in digital assets. These comments are his expectations and do not constitute the result of some actions that were proven to take place.
At the same time, trader Michaël van de Poppe referred to the vote and some recent Chainlink news in explaining why he is now more optimistic about the project. This opinion is his interpretation of the recent news and does not constitute some verified outcome.
Chainlink founder Sergey Nazarov will participate in the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s Fintech Conference on September 24, as stated in Chainlink’s official Twitter account.
Nazarov will be among speakers of this conference who will discuss how new regulatory frameworks change digital assets, together with executives from BlackRock, Vanguard, and Sharplink.
Josh Lipsky from The Atlantic Council will moderate this discussion. In its analysis, BSCN called Nazarov’s participation in the conference with these executives important, but this comment does not constitute some particular outcome of this event or LINK price movement.
