Chainlink Expands APAC Equities Streams to Six Exchanges Covering $40 Trillion Market

Chainlink has announced an expansion of its APAC Equities Streams, now covering six major Asian exchanges: the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE), Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE), Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE), Korea Exchange (KRX), Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE), and Hong Kong Exchange (HKEX). This expansion, revealed on November 3, 2026, marks a significant increase from the initial launch in June 2026, which only included TSE and KRX.

The newly added exchanges represent a combined market value exceeding $40 trillion, bringing substantial data resources to developers and traders interested in Asian equities. The streams provide low-latency mid prices, bid and ask data, and market status indicators, all quoted in local currencies, ensuring that users receive accurate and timely information during trading hours.

Chainlink's APAC Equities Streams utilize the RWA Advanced (v11) schema, enabling the seamless integration of traditional asset pricing onto blockchain networks. This initiative aims to support various financial products, including derivatives and tokenized assets, commonly referred to as real-world assets (RWAs).

Jupiter Exchange is among the first platforms to leverage this expanded data, allowing traders to engage in perpetual contracts on major Asian stocks such as TSMC, Tencent, and Samsung. This integration simplifies access to Asian markets, eliminating the need for brokerage accounts in multiple jurisdictions.

While the streams provide real-time data during standard trading hours, they pause when exchanges close, necessitating careful management of on-chain products during these periods. The expansion of Chainlink's data offerings is expected to foster innovation in the on-chain equity markets and enhance trading experiences for users.
