Chainlink (LINK) has teamed up with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, to bring foreign exchange and precious metals pricing data to blockchain networks.
The partnership adds ICE’s Consolidated Feed, a dataset sourced from over 300 exchanges and marketplaces worldwide, to Chainlink Data Streams, which serve over 2,000 on-chain applications, financial institutions and infrastructure providers.
By incorporating ICE’s data, Chainlink aims to deliver pricing feeds that meet the accuracy and latency requirements of traditional capital markets. That standard could help support a new generation of tokenized assets, automated settlement systems and other institutional-grade blockchain applications.
The move fits into a broader trend of connecting blockchain rails and traditional financial instruments as large banks, asset managers tokenize real-world assets (RWA) like bonds, commodities and funds.
Maurisa Baumann, VP of Global Data Delivery at ICE, said in a statement that the collaboration with Chainlink offers “trusted, structured multi-asset class data” from traditional markets for crypto applications, a key step toward growing the blockchain economy.
“This collaboration signals a pivotal shift towards a unified, globally accessible on-chain financial system, with hundreds of trillions in assets on a clear path to tokenization,” said Fernando Vazquez, president of capital markets at Chainlink Labs.
