- ChainLink will provide 24/5 market data for U.S. stocks and ETFs to crypto platforms.
- The new data streams supply prices, volumes, and bid/ask data to enable trading beyond regular U.S. hours.
- At least eight crypto protocols have integrated the feeds, including platforms such as Bitmex and ApeX.
- The move supports efforts to bring parts of the $80 trillion U.S. equities market on-chain and to extend trading hours globally.
- U.S. regulators and exchanges are exploring always-on markets; Chainlink plans to expand coverage across assets, countries, and possibly to 24/7 data.
On Tuesday, Chainlink announced it will add 24/5 U.S. Equities Streams to its market data services, aiming to deliver continuous market data for U.S. stocks and ETFs to crypto platforms; the company published details in a blog post linked here: said. The feeds are intended to let users trade, lend, or borrow tokenized equities on crypto exchanges beyond standard U.S. market hours.
The product supplies volumes and bid/ask prices across all major U.S. equities and ETFs and is designed for fast distribution to on-chain markets. Chainlink described the streams as providing "fast and secure market data across all major US equities and ETFs — 24 hours per day, 5 days per week."
The company said U.S. equities currently "remain significantly underrepresented on-chain" because they trade in fragmented sessions rather than continuously. It also noted that "As onchain markets mature and global participation grows, such as via equity perps, there is increasing demand for continuous, high-fidelity equity data that reflects real-world market dynamics at all times, beyond just standard trading hours."
At least eight crypto protocols — including Lighter, BitMEX, ApeX, HelloTrade, Decibel, Monaco, Opinion Labs, and Orderly Network — are already using the new streams. The company posted an update on its social channel here: posted.
The announcement arrives as traditional venues and regulators consider extended trading. The New York Stock Exchange is developing a blockchain-based platform for 24/7 tokenized stock and ETF trading, and U.S. regulators such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission have said they are exploring always-on markets. In April, the CFTC sought public comment on risks tied to round-the-clock commodities trading.
Chainlink said the 24/5 streams "is just the beginning" and that it plans to expand coverage to other asset classes, countries, and potential 24/7 on-chain data. Read the Editorial policy.
