TechFlow news, January 20: According to an official announcement, Chainlink recently launched its 24/5 U.S. stock data feed service, providing blockchain applications with market data for U.S. stocks and ETFs, covering both regular and non-regular trading hours. The service has gone live on multiple blockchain platforms, aiming to bridge the gap between traditional stock market trading hours and blockchain's continuous operation, thus enabling blockchain use cases for the U.S. equity market.
Multiple trading platforms, including Lighter and BitMEX, have already adopted this service for applications such as stock perpetual contracts and prediction markets. Beyond price information, the data feed also includes bid/ask quotes, trading volume, and market status—information that can be used for pricing and risk management of on-chain financial products. This service represents a technological advancement in blockchain-based financial infrastructure.
