Chainlink has introduced 24/5 US equities and exchange-traded fund data streams designed to support tokenized stocks and ETFs across crypto-native platforms. The new service extends Chainlink’s existing market data products, providing continuous pricing coverage during weekdays beyond traditional US trading hours.
The data streams are intended to enable crypto platforms to offer trading, lending, and derivatives tied to tokenized equities, addressing a key limitation in bringing traditional financial assets on-chain. Chainlink said US stocks remain underrepresented in blockchain markets due to fragmented trading sessions, creating demand for more consistent and high-fidelity data.
The launch comes as crypto firms and traditional exchanges move toward round-the-clock market access. Several protocols have already integrated the new data feeds, while regulators and major exchanges are evaluating always-on trading models. Chainlink said it plans to expand coverage to additional asset classes and regions as on-chain financial infrastructure continues to develop.
