13 November 2025 - We’re excited to announce that ApeX Protocol, a leading decentralized derivatives exchange, has integrated the Chainlink Data Standard to power its newly launched RWA Perpetuals. Via Chainlink Data Streams, the standard for low-latency market data for tokenized real-world assets, users and developers gain access to sub-second RWA pricing data across Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Mantle.
We chose Chainlink Data Streams as our preferred low-latency oracle solution because they supply premium high-frequency RWA pricing data using proven Chainlink infrastructure. Not only does Data Streams deliver unmatched functionality, with advanced features such as liquidity-weighted bid-ask spreads and sub-second execution speed, but it does so without compromising on transparency and decentralization.
This launch continues ApeX's momentum in expanding its DeFi capabilities, following the successful APE Season 1 farming initiative and strategic token buybacks totaling $8.08 million worth of APEX tokens, with more to come. As a key contributor within the Mantle ecosystem, ApeX has been strengthening its position through collaborations with leading Mantle projects such as UR, demonstrating its commitment to building comprehensive financial infrastructure in the decentralized space.
In order to secure our new RWA trading markets, we needed on-demand access to high-frequency RWA pricing data streams backed by decentralized and transparent infrastructure.
After reviewing various solutions, we integrated Chainlink Data Streams because they support a multitude of critical features such as:
Sub-second price latency: Data Streams provide sub-second data delivery leveraging battle-tested oracle infrastructure, enabling a highly performant user experience without compromising on Web3 values such as decentralization and transparency.
High data accuracy: Data Streams provides reliable low-latency pricing data with high accuracy to benchmark exchanges, bolstering user confidence and protocol performance.
Liquidity-weighted bid-ask spreads: With Data Streams, protocols receive access to a growing array of data beyond a single data point. Data Streams provide users with liquidity-weighted bid-ask spreads that enable protocols to update their risk management parameters, resulting in a more accurate reflection of market liquidity.
Time-tested infrastructure and high uptime: Built on the Chainlink platform with proven security, hyper-reliability, and high-quality data that’s been operating in production for years, helping to enable $26+ trillion dollars in on-chain transaction volume for leading DeFi applications, Data Streams delivers strong availability and uptime guarantees.
"Bringing tokenized real-world asset markets on-chain is a major milestone for ApeX Exchange, and Chainlink Data Streams is the critical infrastructure making it possible. By integrating low-latency and highly reliable RWA pricing data across five chains, we’re setting the stage for a new era of decentralized RWA trading. ApeX delivers a solution that meets the needs of traders seeking exposure across both crypto and real-world asset markets."—Leon, co-founder of ApeX Protocol.
“ApeX Exchange is helping lead the evolution of onchain trading by enabling access to tokenized real-world assets with institutional-grade performance. We're excited to see ApeX integrate Chainlink Data Streams, which provide the low-latency, high-frequency market data needed to build the next generation of global financial infrastructure onchain.”—Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs.
About Chainlink
Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi.
Many of the world’s largest financial services institutions have also adopted Chainlink’s standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, GMX, Lido, and many others. Chainlink leverages a novel fee model where offchain and onchain revenue from enterprise adoption is converted to LINK tokens and stored in a strategic Chainlink Reserve. Learn more at chain.link.
