On October 14, 2026, Chainlink launched its Data Feeds and Data Streams services on the Stellar mainnet. This integration provides developers with native price oracles, supporting decentralized finance applications such as lending, trading, and derivatives.
The Stellar Development Foundation is subsidizing oracle operations through the Chainlink Scale program, which the network joined in October 2025. This initiative aims to lower costs for developers building on the platform.
Stellar currently hosts between $3.54 billion and $4 billion in tokenized real-world assets. The addition of native pricing data is intended to improve the utility of these assets for collateral, lending, and automated market operations.
Market reaction to the announcement was muted, with the XLM token experiencing a weekly decline of approximately 7.85% to 10%. By mid-October 2026, the asset was trading at approximately $0.19.
