US Equities
Chainlink Data Streams offers two families for US single-name equities and ETFs: 24/5 streams and 24/7 streams. Both cover US equities, but they differ in how sessions are handled, which fields you consume, and what happens when the market is closed.
24/5 vs 24/7
The table below compares the two families on the details that apply across both: stream count, session handling, weekends and holidays, and the price fields they publish.
| 24/5 US Equities | 24/7 US Equities | |
|---|---|---|
| Streams per asset | Three (Regular, Extended, Overnight) | One per product |
| Session switching | Integrator chooses the session stream using marketStatus | No session switching; the stream publishes continuously |
| Weekends and holidays | Market closed; prices resume at the next open | Continues publishing through weekends and holidays |
| Price fields | mid, bid, ask per session | TWAP: single pricePerpetual Markets: mid, bid, ask |
For field-level behavior by product, see the 24/7 US Equities User Guide.
Which should I use?
- 24/5 if you want session-level control and full control over how regular, extended, and overnight prices are combined.
- 24/7 for Perpetual Markets if you need a continuous fast price (
mid,bid,ask) through weekends and holidays. - 24/7 TWAP if you need a single continuous TWAP price per asset.
For lending, use 24/7 Smoothed Tokenized Equity Feeds, which publish the slow price onchain.
