Chainlink has launched its "24/5 US Stock Data Stream," offering decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms access to comprehensive US stock market data. This initiative aims to integrate the $80 trillion US stock market into the blockchain ecosystem by providing data on major US stocks and ETFs, including mid-price quotes, bid and ask prices, latest transaction prices, trading volume, and market status indicators. The service operates 24 hours a day, five days a week, enabling developers to build advanced financial applications with enhanced risk control and secure execution. Companies like Lighter, BitMEX, and Apex have already adopted this solution to support their real-world asset markets.
