Chainlink launches 24/7 pricing service for tokenized real-world assets

On October 29, 2026, Chainlink launched Chainlink 24/7, a continuous pricing data service for tokenized real-world assets including equities and commodities. The service expands Chainlink's 24/5 feeds to cover weekends and holidays by aggregating perpetual futures quotes during market closures. Decentralized lender Aave signed on as launch partner to integrate the pricing feeds into Horizon, its institutional platform, addressing weekend collateral valuation gaps in onchain lending.

Chainlink launches 24/7 pricing for tokenized assets
