That gap is now closing. Chainlink has launched 24/5 U.S. Equities Streams, bringing reliable onchain data for U.S. stocks and ETFs across all trading sessions.
In effect, the roughly $80 trillion U.S. equity market is becoming accessible to DeFi in a meaningful way.
Solving the Time Gap Between Markets and Blockchains
Blockchains operate 24 hours a day, every day of the year. U.S. equity markets do not. Most data feeds only provide a single price during standard trading hours, which creates blind spots when markets close. For onchain trading, that missing data increases risk and limits what builders can create.
JUST SHIPPED: Chainlink 24/5 U.S. Equities Streams brings the ~$80T U.S. equities market onchain.
Fast, secure stock & ETF data is now live across 40+ chains—24 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Chainlink’s new streams address this directly. The 24/5 U.S. Equities Streams deliver fast, cryptographically secured market data across regular, pre market, post market, and overnight sessions. Instead of just a midpoint price, builders receive bid and ask prices, trade volumes, last traded prices, market status signals, and indicators showing whether data is fresh.
This launch arrives as real world assets gain momentum onchain. Industry estimates suggest tokenized real world assets could reach $30 trillion by 2030, driven by global access and better capital efficiency. Until now, equities lagged behind bonds and stablecoins due to data limitations.
.@lighter_xyz, the #2 perp DEX by volume and largest ZK rollup on Ethereum, leverages Chainlink as its official RWA oracle.

Chainlink’s infrastructure helps remove that barrier. The data streams are live across more than 40 blockchains and built on a system that has already secured about 70% of oracle related DeFi activity. Chainlink reports its standards have enabled over $27 trillion in transaction value and delivered more than 19 billion verified onchain messages.
