Cryptobriefing.com reports that Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov will speak at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s 10th Annual Fintech Conference on September 24-25, 2026. He will share the stage with executives from BlackRock and Vanguard to discuss how new regulatory frameworks are reshaping the digital assets landscape. The panel, moderated by Josh Lipsky of the Atlantic Council, will focus on stablecoins and tokenized deposits.
Nazarov previously presented at the Ninth Annual Fintech Conference in November 2025, arguing that onchain infrastructure could enhance regulatory oversight rather than undermine it. He emphasized that blockchain technology could make oversight more efficient and transparent. The Fed has proposed “skinny master accounts” to give eligible crypto companies and stablecoin issuers direct access to payment systems.
This mechanism could unlock banking access for firms that have struggled to maintain stable banking relationships. The broader industry is watching this structured dialogue between crypto firms, asset managers, and central banks.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for LINK, measured when this story was written up on 14 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
LINK is trading at $11.20 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 53.2% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 52.3%, indicating that buyers are currently outpacing sellers in the short term. This contrasts with the 24-hour buy ratio of 49.9%, suggesting that the recent buying pressure is building after a more balanced day. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$59,623, while the 4-hour delta is +$197,289, showing net inflows over these shorter windows. However, the 24-hour volume delta is negative at -$29,845, indicating that net outflows dominated the full day prior to this recent shift. A positive volume delta means more money is flowing into spot buys than sells, while a buy ratio above 50% confirms this dominance. Over the last 24 hours, spot volume reached $13,092,881 across 189,424 trades, with net buying occurring for 16 of the 24 hours.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.4% sits at the 56th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.8% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for LINK, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
The current 1-hour buy ratio of 53.2% is higher than the 7-day average of 50.5%, showing a temporary shift toward bullish sentiment. However, the latest day’s buy ratio is 0.6 points lower than the weekly average, indicating that today’s specific reading is slightly below the recent norm. Trading volume is currently at 0.36x the average, meaning activity is significantly subdued compared to the preceding week. While the 8-day volume delta was positive at +$4,841,531, the price has dropped 15.3% over that same eight-day period. This context suggests that despite recent short-term buying, the coin has been under sustained selling pressure over the week.
