Pyth Network brings Hong Kong stock prices onchain for Global Access
Pyth Network, a leading decentralized oracle solution, has made a groundbreaking move by offering live, onchain price feeds for 85 of the most prominent Hong Kong stocks. This innovation democratizes access to real-time, institutional-grade financial data removing historical barriers such as expensive terminals, regional licensing, and delayed information. As a result, traders and developers worldwide now enjoy direct, permissionless access to Asia’s financial gateway via blockchain technology.
Unlocking Asia’s $3.7 Trillion Market Onchain
The newly launched feeds deliver up-to-the-second prices, updated every 400 milliseconds, and are powered by reliable data from institutional trading venues. Pyth Network’s coverage includes heavyweights in banking, insurance, energy, and major Chinese technology sectors, representing a combined market cap of over 28.8 trillion Hong Kong dollars (around $3.7 trillion). By moving this data onchain, Pyth enables both retail and institutional market participants to integrate real-time Hong Kong equities into trading strategies, DeFi products, tokenized portfolios, and risk management tools like never before.
DeFi Builders and Traders: Next-Generation Data Integration
Traditionally, live Hong Kong stock data was locked behind paywalls and delays. Now, thanks to Pyth Network, builders can instantly tap into these feeds to power fintech applications, decentralized exchanges, portfolio management tools, and innovative structured products. The data is broadcast across more than 100 blockchains supporting Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, and many more enabling seamless integration for developers and institutions everywhere. In addition, Pyth’s feeds are available for offchain financial solutions, expanding their practical reach beyond Web3.
How Pyth Network Works
Unlike typical oracles that rely on single or aggregated data sources, Pyth Network incentivizes market makers, exchanges, and financial institutions to supply their proprietary price data directly to the blockchain. This approach ensures unmatched data accuracy, transparency, and speed, all delivered in a decentralized, tamper-resistant environment. Pyth now supports over 1,300 price feeds spanning global stocks, crypto, FX, and commodity markets positioning it as a critical infrastructure layer for decentralized finance.
The Broader Tokenization Trend
Pyth’s Hong Kong equity integration reflects a broader movement bringing real-world assets onchain. In July, Centrifuge announced a partnership with S&P Dow Jones Indices to launch the world’s first onchain S&P 500 Index fund a milestone enabling asset managers to create programmable, transparent, 24/7 index-tracking funds with official S&P data via smart contracts. Meanwhile, institutional giants like Goldman Sachs and BNY Mellon are also exploring tokenized money market funds, signaling growing mainstream acceptance of blockchain-powered financial products.
The Future of Financial Data: Accessible, Permissionless, and Instant
Pyth Network’s initiative marks a pivotal evolution in global market data accessibility. By dismantling barriers and unlocking the live pricing of Hong Kong’s top stocks, Pyth empowers a new era of financial innovation one where developers can build truly borderless DeFi solutions, investors gain real-time insights, and anyone, anywhere, can interact with one of the world’s most dynamic equity markets.
Pyth’s integration isn’t just a win for blockchain adoption it’s a step toward truly global, real-time access to financial markets, setting the stage for a more transparent and inclusive financial future.
