Tokenized Gold Set to Outperform Treasuries as Genius Act Reshapes the Dollar’s Future

Sergey Nazarov, Co-Founder of Chainlink, delivers a powerful forecast for the future of money and digital infrastructure. In this exclusive Kitco News interview with anchor Jeremy Szafron, Nazarov breaks down why the GENIUS Act marks a historic turning point for the U.S. dollar, and how tokenized gold could soon out-yield Treasuries. He predicts the stablecoin market will 10x to $2 trillion, and explains how Chainlink's cross-chain interoperability protocol (CCIP) is already being used by global financial giants like ANZ Bank and Fidelity International for real-world value transfer.

From Washington's pivot toward blockchain-based settlement, to Wall Street’s embrace of decentralized assets, Nazarov lays out a bold vision of a dollar built on real assets and real yield. With CBDCs sidelined in the U.S., and gold-backed digital instruments gaining traction, this interview covers the tectonic shift from fiat trust to on-chain transparency. Investors, hedge funds, and central banks alike should be watching.
