Summary

21X, the first blockchain-based exchange licensed under the EU’s DLT Regime, has integrated Chainlink data oracles to provide real-time, verifiable market data for its tokenized securities. The integration, powered by the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), offers bid-ask prices, last traded values, and related quantities on the public Polygon blockchain. According to CEO Max Heinzle, the move represents a foundational step linking blockchains with traditional capital markets. Chainlink Labs emphasized the importance of this development for enabling institutional-grade tokenized securities to interact with DeFi protocols globally. 21X intends to extend the integration to include pre-trade data, deeper analytics, and more asset classes.
