LayerZero CEO Brian Pellegrino on Interoperability, Stablecoins, and Bringing TradFi On-Chain

LayerZero's Brian Pellegrino outlines how interoperability, immutable designs, and institutional partnerships are accelerating tokenization and public-network settlement at scale.

Key Takeaways

LayerZero delivers simple, secure interoperability primitives so builders can compose cross-chain services while major protocols retain their native security.
Stargate + LayerZero claim production-scale throughput (2,000,000 TPS) and ultra-low fees, enabling shared liquidity pools and integrated swap+bridge flows.
Market shift: multichain native-token transfers rose ~700%; monthly volumes reached $15–38B, with single transfers approaching $1B—institutional activity is materializing.
Security-first architecture: immutable contracts and native-asset transfers avoid wrapped-asset risks and upgrade-related vulnerabilities that caused most bridge losses.
Institutions and regulators: partnerships with DTCC, ICE, Citadel and improving SEC clarity enable conservative orgs to pilot tokenization and on-chain settlement within ~12 months.
Product strategy: focus on one strong use case, build deep integrations with committed partners, and deliver measurable business outcomes rather than broad signalling.
