Chainlink Launches 24/5 U.S. Equities Streams for DeFi Integration

Chainlink has announced the launch of 24/5 U.S. Equities Streams on January 20th, providing continuous on-chain data coverage for pre-market, after-hours, and overnight U.S. stock market sessions.

This initiative supports the ~$80 trillion U.S. stock market’s on-chain transition, enhancing DeFi applications and resolving the gap between traditional equities trading hours and blockchain’s 24/7 framework.

Chainlink Expands DeFi Access with 24/5 U.S. Equities Data

Chainlink’s 24/5 U.S. Equities Streams provides pre-market, after-hours, and overnight U.S. stock market data for the first time directly on-chain, effectively integrating an $80 trillion market into blockchain platforms. This data feed includes critical market information such as bid-ask prices, volumes, and trade prices.

By addressing the trading hour mismatch, Chainlink enables continuous trading and risk management on over 40 blockchains, supporting real-world asset applications such as perpetual swaps and synthetic stocks.

Experts Discuss Implications of Chainlink’s Integration with Stock Data

Did you know? Chainlink’s introduction of continuous U.S. equities data on-chain could transform DeFi trading mechanisms similarly to how electronic trading revolutionized stock markets in the 1990s.

The cryptocurrency Ethereum (ETH) currently trades at $3,027.15, with a market cap of approximately $365.36 billion, reflecting a 5.86% decrease in the last 24 hours. Its circulating supply is 120,694,565. These figures, sourced from CoinMarketCap, show a downward trend within the last 90 days.

According to analysis by the Coincu research team, Chainlink’s innovative data mechanism indicates a growing intersection between traditional finance and blockchain potential. If mainstream adoption continues, this integration may pave the way for new regulatory frameworks, potentially reshaping investment landscapes.
