Chainlink Wants to Bring US Stocks On-Chain — 24/5

[kevin1]

Crypto infrastructure provider Chainlink is rolling out support for 24/5 trading data for U.S. stocks and ETFs, a move it says could help unlock parts of the roughly $80 trillion U.S. equities market for onchain use. The new US Equities Streams will deliver continuous, high-fidelity market data across major stocks and ETFs, extending beyond traditional Wall Street trading hours.

The product is designed for crypto platforms building tokenized stocks, equity derivatives, and lending markets. By aligning equity data availability more closely with crypto’s always-on nature, Chainlink is addressing one of the biggest frictions holding traditional assets back from deeper onchain adoption: limited market hours and fragmented trading sessions.
