Chainlink launches 24/5 US stock and ETF data feeds, solving the time mismatch issue between traditional stock markets and blockchain, enabling round-the-clock on-chain trading of US stock markets. The solution has been deployed on over 40 blockchains, facilitating institutional funds to enter on-chain markets.

【CoinPush】The large-scale application of the US stock market on the blockchain has always faced an awkward problem: traditional stock markets only trade during fixed hours on weekdays, but blockchain operates 24/7 without interruption. This time mismatch prevents many institutional-grade US stock assets from smoothly going on-chain.

Chainlink recently launched a new solution to address this pain point—the 24/5 US stock and ETF data stream. This system continuously provides high-frequency market data five days a week, 24 hours a day, covering pre-market, trading hours, after-hours, and even overnight trading. This means that the approximately $80 trillion US stock market now has the opportunity to operate on-chain continuously for the first time.

In terms of data quality, these information streams do not just provide simple mid-prices. The platform fully discloses bid-ask prices and volumes, latest transaction prices, market status indicators, and data freshness metrics—key information needed for on-chain trading, clearing, and risk management. In simple terms, it fully brings the market depth of traditional stock markets onto the chain.

Currently, this solution has been deployed on over 40 blockchains. It can be used in various RWA scenarios such as US stock perpetual contracts, prediction markets, synthetic stocks, lending products, and other structured products. Platforms like Lighter, BitMEX, ApeX, and Orderly Network have already started adopting this data stream, jointly promoting the construction of a continuous on-chain US stock market.

Chainlink believes this step is a critical turning point in driving the large-scale on-chain listing of institutional-grade US stock assets. Solving the time mismatch opens the door for institutional capital to enter.

Finally, someone has solved this problem. The trap of mismatched timing between traditional stock markets and on-chain activities has been around for so long... Is it okay to put 80 trillion on the chain?

Haha, finally someone has tackled this awkward point. The 24/5 data flow is indeed a solution. $80 trillion in US stocks on the blockchain? But it depends on whether institutions are willing to buy in. Positively, it's solving the timing mismatch; negatively, it's still working for traditional finance.

actually this is just bridging the liquidity mismatch problem, right? in traditional econ terms you'd call this a market microstructure inefficiency, but chainlink's basically solving the temporal arbitrage gap here... think of it this way: before this, every time the NYSE closed, your onchain position became a zombie asset lol

Honestly, this solution is a bit late... but the figure of 80 trillion on the chain still sounds awesome. --- Wait, will institutions really use this? Or is it just another nice-sounding concept? --- 24/5, oh, what about the weekends? --- Finally, someone remembered this issue. It was indeed quite awkward before. --- Feels like just a pie in the sky; let's see it truly implemented first. --- The on-chain US stocks thing has finally taken a step forward. --- Is the data accuracy guaranteed? That's the key. --- 80 trillion... just thinking about it is exciting.

To be honest, this should have been resolved long ago. 80 trillion, the US stock market has been stuck in the time trap all along, and now there's finally a solution.

Oh no, the US stock market is really going to be "blockchainized" now, 80 trillion, just thinking about it is crazy --- Finally, someone has tightened this time gap, but being able to produce real trading volume is already a win --- 24/5? Sounds good, but I'm afraid it's just the old trick of pretty data with little practical use --- Both buy and sell orders are in place, the institutions are probably already calculating arbitrage models --- Can the US stock market really be moved onto the blockchain this time? I'll wait and see if anyone steps into a trap before saying more
