Chainlink Launches 24/7 Pricing for Tokenized Stocks and RWAs

Chainlink has launched Chainlink 24/7, an always-on pricing service designed to support tokenized stocks, commodities and other real-world assets (RWAs) across blockchain markets. The service addresses a major limitation in decentralized finance (DeFi), where blockchain markets operate continuously but traditional financial markets close on weekends and holidays. Aave is the first launch partner, integrating the service into its institutional lending platform, Horizon, to price tokenized U.S. equities used as collateral. Traditional stock markets operate on fixed schedules, while tokenized assets can continue trading on blockchain networks around the clock.
