The Price of Everything: The Hang Seng Index Is Now Onchain—No Terminal Required

The real-time prices powering global finance have long been locked behind legacy systems. Not anymore.

Asia is home to some of the fastest-growing capital markets in the world. At the center is Hong Kong, the global financial hub connecting international investors with opportunities in mainland China. The city’s exchange lists some of the region’s most important companies, including major banks, insurers, energy firms, and tech giants. These equities reflect investor sentiment across Asia and help bridge capital flows between East and West.

But despite their global importance, access to these markets has remained gated, trapped behind expensive terminals, outdated infrastructure, and regional restrictions.

That changes today.

Pyth Network now brings live, onchain prices for 85 of the most important Hong Kong-listed stocks, straight from the source. This new data covers over $5 trillion USD in equity market value, giving builders, traders, and protocols around the world direct, real-time access to one of the largest financial markets on earth.

No terminal. No subscription. No middlemen required.

Whether you're following H-shares of Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong or tracking cross-border exposure to mainland markets, this is the most direct and efficient way to access Asia’s equity markets in real time—for developers, platforms, and financial applications around the world.

Asia’s Market Giants, Streaming Live Onchain

Pyth Network brings live, onchain price feeds for 85 of the most valuable and widely traded companies listed in Hong Kong, covering some of the biggest names in Asian finance, tech, energy, and beyond.

Together, these companies represent over $40 trillion HKD in market capitalization—equivalent to more than $5 trillion USD, now streaming into smart contracts, apps, and protocols in real time.

Every price feed delivered through the Pyth price layer is:

• Sourced directly from institutional-grade trading venues

• Updated every 400 milliseconds or faster

• Live across 100+ blockchains

This launch gives developers and traders everywhere access to one of the world’s most important equity markets—without legacy costs, subscriptions, or barriers.

Whether you're building trading strategies, structured products, tokenized portfolios, or simply want access to real-world stock prices from Asia’s financial gateway, these feeds bring Hong Kong’s equity market onchain openly, instantly, and permissionlessly.

Redefining Access to APAC Equities

For decades, real-time equity data from Hong Kong’s markets has been available only to the few who could afford terminals, negotiate regional licenses, or build custom integrations into legacy infrastructure.

• Expensive data terminals that cost upwards of $30,000/year

• Licensing agreements with regional redistributors

• Manual or delayed data sources like Yahoo! Finance or Google Finance

This restriction leaves most developers, DeFi protocols, and emerging-market users operating blind and locked out of accurate, up-to-the-second pricing for Asia’s most important companies.

As a result, builders have been forced to work with stale data or no pricing at all for critical APAC assets—limiting what smart contracts can support across use cases like:

• Cross-border tokenization

• Strategies tied to Asian markets

• Global collateralization

• On-chain analytics tied to real-world macro data

Now, real-time access to one of the world’s most closely watched stock markets is just a few lines of code away. This launch opens a new frontier for builders everywhere to create with global financial data that was once out of reach.

What’s Included

This launch includes real-time price feeds for 85 of the most prominent publicly traded companies in Hong Kong. These firms make up a large share of the region’s equity market and are closely tracked by investors worldwide as indicators of capital flows across Greater China.

The covered companies span:

• Leading Chinese technology platforms

• Global and regional banks and insurers

• Energy giants and infrastructure operators

• Major property developers

• Consumer goods, telecom, and industrial players

From retail-facing fintech apps to institutional trading desks, this dataset offers builders the inputs needed to create next-generation financial products. Analysts, investors, and protocols now have deeper visibility into one of the world’s most closely watched equity ecosystems.
