Chainlink has entered into a strategic partnership with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). This collaboration enables the direct integration of market data such as forex and precious metals into the blockchain network. ICE’s Consolidated Feed platform aggregates extensive market data from over 300 global exchanges and will feed this data into Chainlink’s Data Streams platform. As a result, more than 2,000 decentralized applications (DApps) and financial institutions will gain access to up-to-date and reliable data.
Chainlink Bridging Blockchain and Traditional Market Infrastructure
ICE’s financial data flow acts as a vital bridge connecting traditional market infrastructure with the blockchain ecosystem. Thanks to Chainlink’s oracle technology, DeFi platforms, banks, and asset managers can securely utilize this critical market data. On-chain applications will benefit from increased accuracy and reliability in pricing, while low latency and tamper-resistant data flow will be crucial for high-value transactions and automated settlements.
Maurisa Baumann, Vice President of ICE Data Platforms, emphasized that this partnership will play a significant role in the growth of the global blockchain economy. Meanwhile, Fernando Vazquez, Head of Capital Markets at Chainlink, highlighted that this is an important step toward building a unified and accessible on-chain financial system.
