LBank has adopted Chainlink Data Streams to power high-speed prediction markets on its platform, using the oracle network's low-latency price feeds to support 5-minute and 15-minute BTC and ETH markets for what the exchange says is a user base of more than 25 million. LBank framed the integration around speed and transparency, saying it enables reliable resolutions within minutes rather than the delays that can affect prediction markets relying on slower data sources.
Prediction markets depend heavily on the accuracy and timing of the price feed used to settle each contract, since a stale or manipulable data source can directly distort payouts on very short time frames like five or fifteen minutes.
Chainlink's Expanding Footprint in Prediction Markets
LBank's move places it alongside a growing list of platforms that have turned to Chainlink specifically for short-duration crypto prediction markets over the past year. Polymarket began using Chainlink's low-latency streams in February to power five-minute crypto trades, Jupiter Exchange implemented the same technology for 5- and 15-minute markets on Solana in March, and Myriad Markets adopted Chainlink as its exclusive oracle infrastructure for prediction markets spanning BTC, ETH, BNB and SOL. Chainlink has built a dominant position in decentralized oracle infrastructure more broadly, securing over $100 billion in total value across DeFi applications by late 2025.
Why Data Speed Matters for Short-Window Markets
For a five-minute BTC or ETH market, even a small lag between an actual price move and when a settlement oracle reports it can determine which side of a bet wins, making low-latency data streams a meaningful differentiator rather than a marginal technical upgrade. By adopting the same oracle infrastructure already validated across several other prediction-market platforms, LBank is positioning its short-duration markets to compete on resolution speed and reliability with rivals that adopted Chainlink earlier in the year.
