SIX and Chainlink have announced a significant integration that brings stock market data on-chain for the first time. This collaboration allows market data from the SIX Swiss Exchange and BME Exchange to be accessed on blockchain networks.
The combined market capitalization of these two exchanges exceeds €2 trillion. Existing data is available for over 2,600 applications across 75 public and private blockchains. This initiative opens new avenues for global digital asset developers and financial institutions.
SIX Expands Its Blockchain Market Infrastructure Coverage
Through this integration, SIX utilizes Chainlink's DataLink service to publish institutional-grade data. DataLink is a data publishing platform built on Chainlink standards.
The platform supports the secure transmission of data across leading public and private blockchain ecosystems. SIX operates market infrastructure in Switzerland and Spain, placing it at the center of regulated financial markets.
The data now available covers stocks listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and the Spanish BME Exchange. Developers can programmatically access this data at scale within a smart contract environment.
This solution provides a structured path for building financial applications directly on-chain. The entire process occurs within infrastructure already trusted by large institutions.
Matthew Nurse, Head of Market Data at SIX, stated that the integration “provides real-time, high-value market data while bringing Swiss and Spanish blue-chip stocks on-chain through Chainlink's DataLink.”
He added that this enables digital asset applications to access reliable market data through a validated secure infrastructure, fostering trust and innovation in the global financial ecosystem.
His statement reflects SIX's broad commitment to providing accurate and regulated market information for digital asset applications.
By leveraging DataLink, SIX ensures its data meets the standards of both traditional finance and decentralized finance.
Additionally, SIX is recognized as a leader in the development of digital asset infrastructure. The company operates a digital asset central depository known as a Central Securities Depository (CSD).
By connecting to the Chainlink network, SIX expands its data coverage to a wider audience. This step supports a broader shift towards blockchain-based financial market infrastructure.
The emergence of new use cases drives the tokenization of financial products.
Fernando Vázquez, President of Capital Markets at Chainlink Labs, stated, “Chainlink DataLink provides a secure, scalable path for trusted data providers like SIX to bring high-quality market data on-chain.”
He further noted that the platform excels in “maintaining the integrity, rights, and distribution control required by regulated financial institutions.”
His remarks highlight that DataLink is designed specifically for regulated financial environments, making it a practical solution for institutions that must comply with stringent financial regulations.
