Chainlink LINK Bridges Critical Gap with 24/5 U.S. Equities Data Streams

Chainlink's new 24/5 U.S. Equities Streams deliver continuous market data for blockchain-based platforms, bridging a critical gap in real-time equity pricing. The service provides bid/ask prices, volumes, and other essential metrics beyond traditional market hours, enabling DeFi protocols to support equity perpetuals, synthetic stocks, and prediction markets.

The innovation addresses the fragmented nature of U.S. equity trading sessions, where data availability has historically been limited to standard market hours. By extending coverage to 24/5, chainlink empowers developers to build more robust financial products without being constrained by legacy market structures.

This rollout builds on Chainlink's existing data solutions, which have become foundational infrastructure for decentralized finance. The MOVE signals growing institutional demand for on-chain equities—a market segment poised for expansion as regulatory clarity improves and traditional assets migrate to blockchain rails.
