Chainlink’s infrastructure is set to transport a premier S&P index onto the blockchain, marking a significant milestone in the integration of traditional finance with digital assets. Through its partnership with Dinari, Chainlink will deliver real-time data for the crypto-inclusive benchmark onchain, setting a new standard for hybrid financial products.
According to a press release dated November 5, Dinari has joined forces with Chainlink and S&P Dow Jones Indices to bring the S&P Digital Markets 50 Index onchain later this year. Developed by S&P DJI and tokenized through Dinari’s dShares product, the index will track 35 U.S.-listed companies advancing blockchain adoption alongside 15 major digital assets.
Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network will play a pivotal role by providing verified, real-time pricing data to maintain the benchmark’s accuracy and transparency as it goes live on blockchain infrastructure.
“Financial systems depend on trusted data and transparent infrastructure,” said Dinari CEO Gabe Otte. “Working with S&P Dow Jones Indices and Chainlink allows us to bring that same standard of reliability to tokenized benchmarks, ensuring the S&P Digital Markets 50 operates with integrity and verifiability onchain.”
### Chainlink to Power the First Onchain Benchmark
The S&P Digital Markets 50 Index is scheduled to launch in the fourth quarter of 2025, representing one of the first efforts to make a traditional equity and crypto benchmark fully verifiable onchain. Dinari’s dShares, its tokenized-equities framework, will anchor this initiative by creating one-to-one representations of each underlying stock held with regulated custodians.
This model also includes an analogous system for the 15 digital assets, granting investors full economic rights to the backing securities—this includes dividends and a redemption path.
For Chainlink, the collaboration reinforces its growing foothold in institutional finance. Its decentralized oracle network will feed verified, real-time data from S&P Dow Jones Indices into the blockchain, providing a transparent and tamper-resistant pricing backbone for the tokenized benchmark.
### Expanding Enterprise Integrations
This announcement extends a series of enterprise integrations Chainlink has secured this year. On November 3, Chainlink revealed a similar partnership with FTSE Russell, which will use Chainlink’s DataLink service to bring major indices—such as the Russell 1000, 2000, and 3000—onchain.
The move by two of the world’s largest index providers within the same week underscores the accelerating momentum behind tokenized data infrastructure and highlights Chainlink’s expanding role as the connective layer between traditional capital markets and blockchain ecosystems.
