The move occurred as Chainlink rolled out market data feed for U.S. Equities and ETFs, aiming to connect traditional financial instrument with on-chain capital markets. Chainlink Data Streams now provide "real-time, high-throughput pricing" for assets such as SPY, QQQ, NVDA, AAPL, MSFT, and other instruments across 37 blockchain networks, according to a blog post. The feature enables use cases such as tokenized stock trading, perpetual futures and synthetic ETFs on blockchain rails.
Solana-based DeFi protocol Kamino and decentraliized perpetuals trading venue GMX have already started using the service, according to the post.
