Chainlink has launched 24/5 US equities data streams that allow decentralised finance protocols to access institutional-grade stock and ETF data beyond standard market hours.
The new service enables continuous onchain use of US equity pricing across regular sessions, pre-market, post-market, and overnight trading periods.
The launch is positioned as a major step in linking traditional financial markets with decentralised applications that operate without downtime.
Chainlink said the data streams cover all major US-listed equities and exchange-traded funds used by institutional and professional investors.
Decentralised applications can now reference US equity markets nearly around the clock rather than relying on limited Wall Street trading windows.
The move effectively opens access to the roughly $80 trillion US equity market for onchain financial products.
The data streams are live across more than 40 blockchain networks, expanding reach across the DeFi ecosystem.
Developers can use the feeds to build always-on products such as equity-linked perpetuals, lending markets, prediction markets, and synthetic assets.
