Overview
- Chainlink announced Chainlink 24/7 on Thursday, Oct. 29, 2026, and named Aave as a launch adopter that will use the feeds on its Horizon institutional lending platform.
- The service publishes a single continuous price series by using regular and extended trading-session data when exchanges are open and aggregated perpetual-futures quotes when markets are closed.
- Aave says continuous weekend and holiday prices let Horizon monitor tokenized-stock collateral without the multi-day blind spots that previously left lenders exposed to unseen price moves.
- Chainlink released a methodology that smooths and filters inputs but did not publish a full asset list or deployment timetable, and sources warn that perpetual-futures prices can diverge from primary-market opens, creating basis risk.
- The launch builds on Chainlink’s Jan. 2026 24/5 feeds that supported more than $1.6 billion in tokenized assets and comes as the CFTC schedules a Dec. 15 roundtable to examine continuous trading, tokenization, and operational readiness.
