BitMEX Exchange Integrates Chainlink for 24/7 Equity Perpetuals, Bridging Crypto and Traditional Markets
BitMEX has taken a significant step in derivative markets by integrating Chainlink Data Streams on Ethereum, enhancing its Equity Perpetuals product. This innovation allows perpetual contracts for top U.S. stocks to trade around the clock, mirroring cryptocurrency market hours.
The platform now enables 24/7 trading of equities like NVDA, TSLA, and SPY, including weekends—eliminating traditional market hour restrictions. Traders can use crypto margins (BTC/USDT) without fund conversion, maintaining exposure within the crypto ecosystem while reacting to global equity movements.
Chainlink's oracle infrastructure ensures price accuracy comparable to traditional markets, bridging decentralized finance with conventional assets. This MOVE reflects growing demand for always-on markets and further blurs the lines between crypto and legacy finance.
