Chainlink Documents Do Not Confirm Jupiter’s Launch of Asian Stock Perpetuals on Nov. 3
Key Facts
The launch of Jupiter perpetual contracts linked to Asian stocks on the Solana network on Nov. 3, 2026, could not be verified. The draft attributed the development to the platform based on Chainlink feeds. No official announcement from Jupiter or Chainlink confirming a launch on that date could be verified either. Available Chainlink materials document coverage and specifications for Asian stock data, but do not confirm that it was integrated into Jupiter contracts. The company names cited in the article, including Samsung, Tencent, TSMC, SK Hynix and BYD, therefore could not be confirmed. The product launch attributed to the platform remains unverified in available open sources.
Chainlink says its Asia-Pacific stock feeds cover stocks and indices in Japan, South Korea, mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The data follows each market’s local trading sessions rather than using uniform hours across all exchanges. Each instrument is also priced in the local currency of its exchange, according to the service documentation. The data uses the RWA Advanced schema, version v11. These specifications describe the coverage and delivery of the data, but do not say when the feeds began publishing or confirm an expansion announcement on Nov. 3, 2026.
Asian stock feeds operate during regular local trading hours from Monday to Friday, according to Chainlink’s documentation. When a session closes, the price is held at its last traded value until the next session opens. Market status and data freshness are therefore important when reading prices outside trading hours; Chainlink recommends monitoring both. APAC stock feeds do not include extended trading sessions, and no direct alternative feed is available during the transition when a session opens. These restrictions set clear time limits for using the data in products that trade outside Asian exchange hours.
The documentation lists mid, bid and ask prices, as well as market status, among the Asian stock data fields. It says, however, that bid and ask sizes are not populated in these feeds and are reported as zero. This means the price and status fields are not accompanied by measurements of displayed order sizes in this feed. These details remain part of the data specifications documented by Chainlink, rather than evidence of how they are used in any particular contract. Available sources have not established that these fields were integrated into the Jupiter product cited.
As part of its broader expansion of asset data, Chainlink made feeds for U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds available around the clock, five days a week, on Jan. 20, 2026. The service included real-time pricing data for individual U.S. stocks and ETFs during regular, premarket, after-hours and overnight trading. On Oct. 29, 2026, the company said Chainlink 24/7 provides continuous market data for stocks, commodities and other traditional assets during trading sessions, weekends and public holidays. It said the data supports continuous onchain trading and collateral management outside traditional market hours. These announcements provide context for the development of traditional asset data, but do not confirm the launch of Jupiter’s Asian contracts.
Asian trading on Nov. 3, 2026, came as markets fell: the broader MSCI Asia-Pacific ex-Japan index dropped 1.4% to its lowest level since Oct. 23. South Korean stocks fell by as much as 4.1% during the session, Reuters reported via MarketScreener. Those moves show how stocks performed on the same day the draft linked to the launch news, but do not prove that trading in new contracts began that day. Chainlink’s documentation also set Nov. 5, 2026, as the retirement date for some data feeds. The available documents do not list APAC stock feeds among those affected, leaving the scope of that operational change for this service unresolved.
