Europe’s SIX Group Partners with Chainlink to Bring Swiss and Spanish Stock Market Data On-Chain
According to The Block, SIX Group, a leading European stock exchange operator, announced that its Swiss exchange, SIX Swiss Exchange, and Spain’s BME Exchange will bring stock market data on-chain via Chainlink nodes. This collaboration enables smart contracts to directly read market data from both exchanges, facilitating the development of blockchain use cases such as tokenized stock indices, structured products, decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, and prediction markets. The combined market capitalization of the two SIX Group exchanges totals €2 trillion, making this initiative a trusted data source for the global financial ecosystem. Previously, prominent financial institutions—including Deutsche Börse, FTSE Russell, and S&P Global—as well as cryptocurrency companies such as Coinbase, have also launched similar partnerships with Chainlink. Since its launch last year, Chainlink’s DataLink service has been integrated into thousands of decentralized applications and across dozens of blockchains.

S&P Global: Despite the continued expansion of the stablecoin market, the banking sector as a whole remains cautious and observant.
According to CoinDesk, S&P Global Market Intelligence released a report stating that although the stablecoin market has surpassed $31.6 billion, banks’ strategic planning around stablecoins remains largely in the early exploratory phase. S&P Global’s Q1 2026 survey found that among 100 surveyed banks, only 7% are developing related frameworks, and none have launched live pilots. Key concerns for banks include risks of deposit outflows, intensifying competition from non-bank institutions, and uncertain impacts on revenue. Regarding strategic divergence, the report forecasts that large banks will explore issuing tokenized deposits, while mid- and small-sized institutions are more likely to participate via fiat on-ramp and off-ramp services. Regardless of the chosen strategy, banks must undertake extensive upgrades to their existing systems to support real-time digital asset operations.
