SQD Network Launches OceanStream for Institutional Financial Data

SQD Network, a decentralized data-lakehouse, has announced the launch of OceanStream, a platform designed to deliver institutional-grade financial data. OceanStream sources data from over 200 blockchains in real-time, providing professional investors with fast and reliable financial information. This initiative is part of SQD Network's strategic push to cater to institutional clients, including hedge funds, asset managers, and financial institutions.

To support this goal, SQD Network has made key strategic hires. Howie Altman, former Bridgewater Tech Executive, has been appointed as the Head of Institutional Strategy. Additionally, David Attermann has been brought on as an Executive Advisor, with the backing of M31 Labs, a venture studio and crypto advisory firm known for building and backing blue-chip Web3 infrastructure. Attermann and the M31 Labs team will provide product development guidance, go-to-market support, and integration pathways for AI-native workflows, which are critical for OceanStream's success.

OceanStream is engineered to meet the real-time needs of institutional actors participating in tokenized capital markets. Key features include real-time, low-latency access to high-performance data streams optimized for capital markets applications, coverage of over 200 chains, fully composable and permissionless access for AI agents, quant systems, and enterprise data platforms, and open-source infrastructure that ensures transparency, security, and continuous dataset expansion.

SQD Network's permissionless, trustless architecture positions OceanStream as a critical enabler for the next wave of AI-driven financial applications. It allows autonomous agents to query blockchain data directly without human mediation, supporting the shift toward automation and AI-native workflows in the financial industry.

According to the analyst's forecast, the migration of traditional financial assets onchain is a leading trend that demands the creation of institutional-grade infrastructure. As this shift accelerates, the role of first-party blockchain data will become foundational to the workflow of every major financial institution. OceanStream is designed to support this transformation, providing a robust infrastructure for the AI-powered financial ecosystem.

SQD Network is building the open financial data infrastructure of the future. As the world’s first decentralized data-lakehouse purpose-built for blockchain, SQD transforms raw onchain events into composable, institutional-grade datasets streamed via ultra-low-latency APIs. Backed by a global community of developers and data providers, SQD is creating a permissionless alternative to traditional data providers, optimized for AI agents, tokenized assets, and the 24/7 onchain economy.
