Traditional Finance Meets DeFi: Equities Data Flows into Blockchain Networks

The intersection of traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi) is becoming increasingly seamless, thanks to the latest collaboration between SIX Group and Chainlink. The Switzerland-based firm has successfully integrated its equities data from exchanges in Switzerland and Spain into blockchain environments using Chainlink's DataLink service.

This move enables developers to access a vast pool of financial information – exceeding €2 trillion in combined market value – directly within their systems. Over 2,600 applications can now pull this data, streamlining the development process for new onchain finance use cases.

As Matthew Nurse, Head of Market Data at SIX, noted, the integration provides a trusted system for handling financial data in blockchain environments. This is crucial, given the importance of regulatory compliance and data security in financial transactions.
