Chainlink announced via X on Monday that the first EU-regulated onchain exchange for tokenized securities, 21X, has adopted the Chainlink data standard.
Chainlink enables verifiable market data, including the best bid and ask prices with corresponding quantities, as well as the last traded prices for securities listed on the 21X platform. This data can be accessed directly on the public Polygon blockchain in real-time.
Chainlink added that this integration enables EU-regulated tokenized equities, debt securities, and funds to be used as collateral in lending protocols and traded in secondary markets. Moving forward, 21X is expanding the integration with Chainlink to include pre-trade data, deeper analytics, and additional asset classes.
Chainlink Network (LINK) aims to provide tamper-proof inputs and outputs of data for smart contracts on any blockchain. LINK is down 3.7% over the past 24 hours and is trading at $23.49 at press time.
