Blockchain infrastructure provider Chainlink and tokenized equities platform Dinari have announced a partnership to bring the upcoming S&P Digital Markets 50 Index onchain, marking a major step toward bridging traditional finance with blockchain technology.
Blending Traditional and Digital Markets
The S&P Digital Markets 50 Index, developed by S&P Dow Jones Indices in collaboration with Dinari, is set to launch in the fourth quarter of this year. The index will track 35 U.S.-listed companies advancing blockchain adoption and 15 leading digital assets, offering a hybrid benchmark that captures both the traditional and crypto markets.
Chainlink’s oracle technology will play a crucial role by supplying real-time, verified market data to the onchain index. This integration ensures that the tokenized benchmark remains accurate, transparent, and consistent with trusted financial sources.
“By powering the S&P Digital Markets 50 Index, Chainlink is enabling one of the first indexes to operate onchain with verifiable, real-time index data that spans both traditional and digital assets,” said Fernando Vazquez, President of Capital Markets at Chainlink Labs.
Growing Role of Tokenized Assets
The collaboration reflects a broader trend toward tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) — the process of representing traditional assets like stocks or bonds on blockchain networks. According to Standard Chartered Bank, the market cap for tokenized RWAs could reach $2 trillion by 2028, signaling strong institutional interest in blockchain-based financial products.
Dinari said it plans to tokenize the S&P Digital Markets 50 Index through its dShares service later this year. The company already offers access to more than 200 tokenized U.S. stocks and financial assets across 85 countries, making it one of the more established players in the onchain equities space.
This announcement follows Chainlink’s recent partnership with FTSE Russell, another major index provider, to bring its financial data and indices onchain — underscoring Chainlink’s growing influence as a data bridge between global markets and blockchain networks.

A Step Toward Mainstream Blockchain Integration
The move to bring the S&P Digital Markets 50 Index onchain represents a key milestone in integrating traditional finance with blockchain infrastructure. By combining established financial indices with secure, decentralized data feeds, the partnership between Chainlink and Dinari aims to make real-time, transparent financial benchmarks accessible to a wider onchain ecosystem.
As blockchain and traditional finance continue to converge, collaborations like this are paving the way for more reliable, interoperable, and data-driven financial systems.
