SIX Group Taps Chainlink to Put Data from 2 Markets Onchain

European exchange operator SIX Group is working with Chainlink to bring Swiss and Spanish stock market data onto the blockchain, a move that could open regulated equity pricing to smart contracts and tokenized finance products across more than 40 blockchain networks.

The partnership, announced on April 15, 2024, will use Chainlink's oracle network to deliver pricing data from the SIX Swiss Exchange and the Spanish stock market directly to decentralized applications. This integration provides a crucial bridge between traditional financial markets and the emerging decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

By making regulated data feeds available on-chain, developers can build a new class of financial products. These include tokenized assets backed by real-world equities, automated trading strategies based on official market prices, and other DeFi applications on networks like Ethereum that require reliable, tamper-proof data sources.

This collaboration is a significant step for the Real World Asset (RWA) sector, demonstrating growing institutional interest in tokenizing traditional financial instruments. The move is expected to increase demand for Chainlink's services and strengthen the case for integrating traditional assets onto public blockchains, potentially unlocking new liquidity and investment opportunities.
