Pyth Network

Daily

<p><a href="https://x.com/PythNetwork" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@PythNetwork</a> has introduced post-market price feeds for Pyth Pro covering four major South Korean stocks, extending the hours during which on-chain price data for Korean equities is available.</p>
<p>The protocol is providing price benchmarks for <a href="https://x.com/Samsung" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Samsung</a> Electronics, <a href="https://x.com/SKHynix" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@SKHynix</a>, <a href="https://x.com/Hyundai" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Hyundai</a> Motor and Samsung Electro-Mechanics. <a href="https://coinfomania.com/pyth-network-launches-stock-trading-for-samsung-and-hyundai/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinfomania reported</a> that the four stocks are now live on Pyth Pro, with an effective date of October 21, 2026.</p>
<h2 id="extended-hours-to-20-00-kst">Extended hours to 20:00 KST</h2>
<p>The new feeds add four hours of on-chain market data, taking coverage to 20:00 KST. They are designed to cover live pricing from the close of the Seoul exchange session to the start of the European trading day.</p>
<p>The Korea Exchange's regular session runs from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm on trading days, according to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea_Exchange" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Wikipedia's entry on the exchange</a>. That leaves a gap between the Korean close and the opening of European markets, during which reliable price references can be harder to find. The post-market feeds are meant to fill part of that gap for applications that rely on up-to-date pricing.</p>
<p>Pyth Pro will also cover 18 Korea-traded stock feeds in this window. These include the KODEX 200 ETF, a fund that, according to <a href="https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/KODEX-200-103508444/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MarketScreener</a>, aims to replicate the performance of the KOSPI 200 index.</p>
<h2 id="why-the-timing-matters">Why the timing matters</h2>
<p>The launch comes as Korean chip stocks have been moving sharply. <a href="https://en.sedaily.com/finance/2026/10/21/samsung-electronics-sk-hynix-jump-over-5-percent-as-kospi" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Seoul Economic Daily reported</a> that on October 21 the KOSPI rose 3.29% to 5,735.66, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix each gaining more than 5% on strong AI server earnings. The previous session was weak: <a href="https://upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2026/10/20/kospi-stock-market/4271792535873" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">UPI reported</a> that the KOSPI fell 3.73% on October 20 as foreign and institutional investors sold heavily.</p>
<p>In volatile conditions like these, price movements after the Korean close can matter to traders and developers building on-chain products tied to Korean equities. Extended-hours data gives them a benchmark beyond the local session. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are among the largest names on the KOSPI, which makes them natural early additions to the post-market offering.</p>
<p>Pyth Network is an oracle protocol that delivers market data to blockchain applications. The Korean post-market feeds add to the range of traditional-asset data available through Pyth Pro. Details on pricing, access tiers and any further Korean listings were not specified in available reports.</p>
