Chainlink has launched Data Streams for U.S. equities and ETFs, delivering real-time, high-frequency market data across 37 blockchain networks.
This breakthrough enables the creation of institutional-grade tokenized products like synthetic ETFs, perpetual futures, and tokenized stocks—using reliable pricing for assets such as AAPL, SPY, MSFT, NVDA, and QQQ. Unlike traditional oracles that offer only mid-price snapshots, Chainlink’s Data Streams provides sub-second latency, market hours awareness, staleness detection, and event-driven triggers—key for mirroring TradFi asset behavior in an always-on blockchain environment. Leading DeFi protocols including GMX, Kamino, and GMX-Solana are already integrating Chainlink’s infrastructure to build advanced onchain financial products. Use cases include equity-based lending, tokenized asset staking, and 24/7 synthetic trading.
“This is a major leap for tokenized markets,” said Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs. “We’re closing the gap between traditional and decentralized finance.”

Until now, U.S. equities were largely absent from the trend due to infrastructure gaps—Chainlink’s new offering directly addresses that. By powering secure and composable TradFi assets onchain, Chainlink is positioning itself at the center of a new era for decentralized capital markets.
