Chainlink Launches 24/5 US Stock Data Stream to Bring Approximately $80 Trillion US Stock Market to the Chain
In comparison, Chainlink announced the launch of the 24/5 US Equities and ETF Data Stream (U.S. Equities Streams), providing DeFi with US stock market data covering the pre-market, post-market, and overnight periods for the first time, enabling the US stock market of about $80 trillion to continue to operate on the chain. The data stream supports the provision of high-frequency, cryptographically signed market data 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, including not only the median price, but also the order price and volume, latest transaction price, market status indicators, and data freshness indicators, providing complete market context for on-chain transactions, clearing and risk control. Chainlink said that the solution has been launched on more than 40 blockchains and can support various RWA application scenarios such as US stock perpetual contracts, forecasting markets, synthetic stocks, loans and structured products. Many trading platforms, including Lighter, BitMEX, Apex, and Orderly Network, have adopted this data stream to promote the continuous development of the US stock market on the chain. Chainlink points out that the 24/5 data flow solves the structural mismatch between traditional US stock trading hours and the blockchain's 7×24 operation, and is a key step in promoting the large-scale listing of institutional US stock assets.
