Chainlink launched Chainlink 24/7 at Link:NYC on Oct. 29, continuous pricing for equities, commodities and other RWAs across sessions, weekends and holidays, as announced with details here.
In sessions it uses 24/5 data, when exchanges are closed it builds price from multiple perp venues with staleness filtering and outlier limits. Chainlink stresses this is fresh derivatives trades, not a closed-exchange quote, delivered as one continuous series via Data Feeds and Data Streams.
Launch adopter is Aave: always-on pricing for institutional RWA lending, per Chainlink, with Aave saying it is coming soon to stock-backed loans to help onboard the $150T equities market, per Aave. The Defiant describes it as tracking collateral after markets close, per DefiantNews.
Context given: 24/5 already powers over $1.6B in tokenized stocks across six chains for Ondo, xStocks, Robinhood and Coinbase, per Chainlink blog, and Horizon will start with liquid U.S. equities, per defiprime. Use case is weekend liquidations and 24/7 perps and prediction markets without freezing on Friday's price.
