  3. Chainlink Launches 24/7 Market Data Service for Tokenized Assets — this brief

Chainlink has introduced Chainlink 24/7, a new market-data service aimed at providing continuous pricing for tokenized stocks, commodities, and other real-world assets (RWAs). This service is designed to ensure that decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms have access to reliable price data at all times, even when traditional markets are closed.

Aave, a leading DeFi lending platform, is among the first to adopt Chainlink 24/7. The integration is expected to enhance Aave's institutional lending capabilities by providing uninterrupted price feeds for collateral management. This is particularly important for maintaining the stability and security of onchain financial products.

The launch of Chainlink 24/7 comes at a time when the DeFi sector is seeking to attract more institutional investors. By addressing the issue of price data availability during market closures, Chainlink is positioning itself as a key infrastructure provider for the growing tokenized asset market.

According to DeFiLlama, Aave's total value locked (TVL) currently stands at $17.49 billion, marking a 2.5% decrease over the past seven days. This indicates that while the platform remains a major player in the DeFi space, it is not immune to broader market fluctuations.

The overall cryptocurrency market is experiencing a downturn, with the total market cap at $2.77 trillion and Bitcoin down 1.23% in the last 24 hours. Chainlink's LINK token is also down 2.47% in the same period, while Aave's AAVE token has fallen 3.73%.

What this means in naira
