Chainlink has named Aave as a launch partner for its 24/7 data feeds, while separately launching new APAC Equities Streams aimed at bringing traditional equity markets onto blockchain rails.
The Aave integration focuses on improving pricing for tokenized real-world asset collateral within DeFi. As the largest lending protocol in the sector, Aave will use Chainlink's continuous data feeds to increase accuracy and reliability for borrowing and lending activity, strengthening the infrastructure behind RWAs.
Chainlink's APAC Equities Streams expansion allows builders to launch equity perpetuals, spot markets, and prediction markets using reliable data. The initiative targets a market valued at over $40 trillion across major Asian economies and includes integrations with PhoenixTrade and DecibelTrade. This move is designed to facilitate crypto trading outside local hours and could boost liquidity and participation.
Market participants are expected to monitor adoption rates, pricing stability for tokenized assets, and regulatory sentiment toward tokenized equities as these integrations unfold.
