Chainlink Documents Show Asian Equity Feeds for Six Exchanges
Key Facts
Current Chainlink documents show Asia-Pacific equity data feeds covering six exchanges: Korea, Tokyo, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The company describes the feeds as providing high-frequency price data for regional indices and individual stocks. The documents say the data is intended to support the development of onchain markets, allowing prices of listed assets to be used in financial products operating across blockchain networks. The feeds are priced in each market’s local currency, according to the service schedule. Those currencies include the South Korean won, Japanese yen, Chinese yuan, Taiwan dollar and Hong Kong dollar. The service operates during each exchange’s standard local sessions from Monday to Friday.
Data availability varies by market, according to the service documents. In Japan and Korea, the feeds are limited to quotes, so the last-traded-price field is not populated meaningfully. China, Hong Kong and Taiwan feeds include trade data alongside quotes. This difference affects the types of information that products built on each feed can rely on. Asia-Pacific markets also do not have an extended trading session through the service. The documents say there is no live backup feed during the transition period at the session open.
Data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development puts Asian equity coverage in the context of a broad regional market: Asia accounted for about 29% of global public equity market capitalization in 2025. In the same year, companies raised about $76 billion through initial public offerings, compared with an average of $85 billion over the previous three years. On the other hand, secondary offerings totaled about $274 billion, exceeding the average of $177 billion for the same prior period. These figures point to differing funding trends for IPOs and secondary offerings in Asian markets during 2025. They do not, however, specify the value of the exchanges covered by Chainlink’s feeds.
The organization said that by the end of March 2026, equity markets in several Asian economies, including India, were below their levels at the start of 2025. It attributed this to renewed uncertainty and weaker investor sentiment over the Middle East conflict and its impact on regional economies. For feed operations, Chainlink’s documents urge developers to monitor data freshness and market signals during trading hours. They say quotes for some highly liquid stocks and indices may typically be delayed by about 10–20 seconds after the session opens, while delivery for less liquid stocks may take several minutes. Each Asian market also relies on a single institutional data provider for each feed, linking price freshness and availability to that provider’s performance. The documents present these operating conditions as part of the feed usage guidelines.
