Chainlink integrates real-time data from the Toronto Stock Exchange, bringing traditional financial data sources to over 2,400 DeFi protocols

[Crypto World] Chainlink’s DataLink service just made a major move—it partnered with TMX Datalinx to bring real-time market data from the Toronto Stock Exchange Venture Exchange ((TSXV)) directly on-chain. This is the first time that data from a traditional licensed exchange is being fed so straightforwardly to on-chain applications.

Now, more than 2,400 DeFi protocols across 40+ blockchains can access these regulated market data feeds. Just think about it: in the future, on-chain lending protocols, derivatives platforms, and even synthetic asset creators can price and manage risk based on real exchange data, instead of relying on a handful of price feeds cobbled together.

The significance here is that blockchain transparency and the credibility of traditional finance can finally coexist in a single product. For DeFi, it’s like getting a ticket to enter the mainstream financial market; for traditional institutions, the efficiency of on-chain settlement and smart contracts is starting to become acceptable. It really feels like a two-way breakthrough.
