Chainlink and NYSE owner team up to deliver FX and precious metals pricing to DeFi

Key Takeaways

• Chainlink partners with Intercontinental Exchange to deliver FX and precious metals pricing data onchain.
• The collaboration enables over 2,000 applications to access institutional-grade market data via Chainlink Data Streams.

Chainlink, one of the top oracle networks for on-chain real-world data, has partnered with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), which runs the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), to integrate ICE’s Consolidated Feed into Chainlink Data Streams, the companies said Monday.

ICE’s feed pulls market-leading pricing from more than 600 sources and 300 global venues, delivering multi-asset coverage across equities, fixed income, FX, commodities, and more.

The collaboration will make secure, real-time FX and precious metals data available to over 2,000 Chainlink-powered applications, banks, asset managers, and infrastructure providers, enhancing the reliability of DeFi markets.

“With content from over 300 global exchanges and marketplaces, the ICE Consolidated Feed offers trusted, structured multi-asset class data to banks, asset managers, and ISVs located around the world,” said Maurisa Baumann, VP, Global Data Delivery Platforms at ICE. “We’re happy to work with Chainlink to securely and reliably provide data for on-chain markets, which is an important step in growing the global blockchain economy.”

The companies view the integration as a key step toward mass tokenization of real-world assets, with the market projected to reach $30.1 trillion. Chainlink called the move a “watershed moment” toward building a unified, globally accessible on-chain financial system that could eventually encompass hundreds of trillions of dollars in assets.

“Using ICE’s Consolidated Feed data as an input into Chainlink’s derived FX and precious metals rates on-chain via Chainlink’s institutional-grade infrastructure is a watershed moment in the evolution of global markets,” said Fernando Vazquez, President, Capital Markets at Chainlink Labs.

Chainlink Data Streams deliver high-speed, high-frequency market data off-chain, enabling dApps to verify it directly on-chain. Unlike push-based oracles that refresh at fixed times, this pull-based model lets applications fetch and validate data instantly, often in less than a second. The result is secure, real-time pricing for latency-sensitive products such as perpetual futures and tokenized financial instruments.

Leading projects that have adopted Chainlink Data Streams include Base , Avalanche, and Optimism, among others.
