Chainlink and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, have announced a strategic collaboration to bring high-quality derived forex (FX) and precious metals data onchain for the first time.
This aims to empower decentralized applications (dApps), banks, asset managers, and infrastructure providers globally with secure, real-time data feeds that meet the demanding standards of institutional finance.
Integrating ICE’s Consolidated Feed Into Chainlink Data Streams
The partnership centers around the integration of ICE’s Consolidated Feed, an industry-leading market data service harnessing price information from over 300 global exchanges and marketplaces, into Chainlink’s Data Streams.
By leveraging ICE’s vast coverage across currency and precious metals markets, Chainlink will derive pricing rates and transmit them onchain to over 2,000 applications operating within its ecosystem. The outcome is the delivery of tamper-resistant, low-latency market data that aligns with the rigorous requirements of banks, asset managers, and tokenization platforms across the world.
Why This Matters for DeFi and High-Speed Trading
Technical advances brought by Chainlink Data Streams mean that dApps can verify and consume market data nearly instantly, instead of relying on slower, push-based oracle designs. This transition is critical for latency-sensitive applications such as perpetual futures and automated trading, where price accuracy can make or break profitability.
The partnership not only strengthens the transparency and reliability of onchain markets but also signals to institutional finance that blockchain infrastructure can now meet and exceed the standards of traditional market data providers.
As hundreds of trillions of dollars worth of assets steadily march toward onchain tokenization, today’s collaboration showcases how established financial giants and crypto innovation leaders are coalescing to redefine the future of finance.
By joining forces, ICE and Chainlink have shattered another barrier between legacy finance and blockchain, ushering in a new age of high-frequency, trusted market data for decentralized systems worldwide.
As the digital asset landscape matures, the marriage of ICE’s global reach and Chainlink’s oracle agility will likely serve as a template for further institutional ventures into the blockchain economy.
