TechFlow News: On April 15, according to The Block, SIX Group—the operator of Europe’s major stock exchanges—announced that its Swiss exchange, SIX Swiss Exchange, and Spain’s BME Exchange will bring equity market data on-chain via Chainlink nodes. This collaboration enables smart contracts to directly access market data from both exchanges, facilitating the development of blockchain use cases such as tokenized stock indices, structured products, decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, and prediction markets.
The combined market capitalization of the two SIX Group exchanges totals €2 trillion, establishing this initiative as a trusted data source for the global financial ecosystem. Previously, prominent financial institutions—including Deutsche Börse, FTSE Russell, and S&P Global—as well as cryptocurrency firms such as Coinbase, have also partnered with Chainlink on similar initiatives. Since its launch last year, Chainlink’s DataLink service has been integrated into thousands of decentralized applications and across dozens of blockchains.
