Chainlink adds weekend and holiday pricing for tokenized stocks with Aave as launch partner, but the off-hours price is drawn from perpetual futures

Blockchains never close, but the stocks and commodities tokenized on them do. Chainlink has launched a service it calls Chainlink 24/7 to keep pricing for those assets going through weekends and holidays, according to CoinDesk and crypto.news. Aave is the launch partner: it is adopting the feeds for Horizon, its institutional lending platform where qualified investors borrow against tokenized assets, starting with tokenized versions of heavily traded U.S. stocks.

CoinDesk reports the service combines prices from regular and extended trading sessions with quotes from perpetual futures venues, which it uses when traditional markets are shut, so each asset has one continuous price series. It aggregates several venues, filters stale inputs and limits the effect of outliers. The article stresses that the off-hours reference reflects derivatives trading, not transactions on closed exchanges, and may differ from where the underlying asset trades once markets reopen.

Chainlink introduced 24/5 pricing for U.S. stocks and ETFs in January 2026 and says its weekday infrastructure covers more than $1.6 billion in tokenized stocks. It did not give a full list of supported assets, fees or an Aave rollout schedule.
