What Caught Our Eye This Month
Bitwise launched a Chainlink ETF, which has accumulated $6.9M in assets under management and total net inflow of $6.4M.
Chainlink Labs joined WEMADE’s Global Alliance for KRW Stablecoin to provide infrastructure support for tokenized assets. The company joins Chainalysis, CertiK and SentBe to provide security, compliance and a data integrity stack.
Chainlink acquired Atlas from FastLane and integrated its order flow technology into Chainlink SVR. The integration brings Atlas’ liquidation auction infrastructure to Chainlink so apps can recapture value lost during liquidations.
Linking traditional equity markets to the onchain world
🌐 What happened: Chainlink has launched 24/5 U.S. Equities Streams, giving onchain applications continuous access to U.S. stock and ETF market data, including pre-market, after-hours, and overnight sessions.
🌐 Why it matters: Most onchain equity products rely on limited price data during standard U.S. trading hours, creating risk during off-hours. Chainlink plans to create streams that provide near-continuous pricing as well as market information (bid/ask, volume, last trade, and market status).
Chainlink argues its product helps onchain platforms operate more safely when traditional markets are closed.
🌐 The big picture: Chainlink is looking to bring the roughly $80 trillion U.S. stock market closer to blockchain-based finance.
With reliable, near-continuous stock data, developers can build products like synthetic versions of stocks that trade outside Wall Street hours; stock-backed loans; and trading markets that don’t shut down overnight or on weekends.
Since equity markets already allow round-the-clock trading, Chainlink isn’t looking to replace traditional markets. Its design is to add an always-on layer, potentially giving global users more access and flexibility than today’s market structure allows.
