Chainlink has launched real-time Data Streams for U.S. equities and ETFs, providing sub-second latency pricing for major assets including SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, and NVDA. These Data Streams are available across 37 blockchain networks and are designed to power tokenized real-world asset (RWA) markets on-chain, enabling applications such as perpetual trading, synthetic ETFs, and tokenized stocks. The new service is being adopted by leading decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols like GMX and Kamino Finance. This development represents a significant step in integrating traditional financial market data with blockchain technology, facilitating secure and transparent trading of tokenized assets. Additionally, other industry developments include PancakeSwap introducing stock perpetual contracts for Apple, Amazon, and Tesla, and partnerships like DIA and Zoniqx delivering verifiable oracle data for institutional tokenized assets on the XRP Ledger.
