SIX Swiss Exchange and Spain’s BME Plan to Deliver Stock Market Data Onchain via Chainlink

The exchanges aim to let smart contracts (self-executing blockchain code) use market data directly for tokenized stock indices, structured products, DeFi (blockchain-based financial services) applications, and prediction markets.

Fact Check
The official SIX source, "SIX and Chainlink Bring Data of Swiss and Spanish Equities with a Combined Market Value of €2 Trillion Onchain," directly confirms the main claim: SIX and BME are making exchange equities data available onchain via Chainlink DataLink. It also explicitly describes the intended use in smart-contract environments and names the same application categories cited in the statement: tokenized indices, structured products, compliant DeFi applications, and prediction markets. Independent corroboration from The Block's reported article title and snippet aligns with the same facts and use cases. The only minor caveat is wording: the release says the data is now available onchain and can be accessed programmatically by smart contracts, rather than framing it as a future 'plan to deliver.' But that strengthens rather than weakens the claim.
