According to PANews, Chainlink has officially launched its real-time Data Streams, providing sub-second latency price data for major U.S. stocks and ETFs, including SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, and NVDA. This service now spans 37 blockchain networks, facilitating the creation of innovative financial products such as tokenized stock trading platforms, perpetual contracts, and synthetic ETFs.
Leading DeFi protocols like GMX and Kamino Finance have begun integrating this technology to develop lending, structured products, and yield strategies based on U.S. stocks. Chainlink plans to expand its asset class support in the future, including commodities, OTC, and forex, while increasing stock coverage and introducing a developer SDK and more detailed contextual data.
