Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) has agreed to provide foreign exchange and precious metals data from its ICE Consolidated Feed to Chainlink, the infrastructure for tokenised assets.
Under the new collaboration, ICE’s market data will be used as a contributing source for the derived data sets offered through Chainlink Data Streams. These streams are used by a variety of applications and participants within the Chainlink ecosystem to access market information.
The integration aims to enhance the data quality available to decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols and other onchain systems. Chainlink’s model aggregates data from multiple providers, including now ICE, to create a single, validated output. This multi-source approach is designed to increase the reliability and tamper-resistance of the data feeds.Maurisa Baumann, VP, Global Data Delivery Platforms at ICE, commented: “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. We’re happy to work with Chainlink to securely and reliably provide data for onchain markets, which is an important step in growing the global blockchain economy.”
For developers building onchain financial products, particularly those involving tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), access to established and high-frequency data sources is a key technical requirement. Accurate and timely price feeds are necessary for functions such as asset valuation, collateral management, and trade execution. The inclusion of ICE’s data is intended to better support the creation of these products.
Fernando Vazquez, President, Capital Markets at Chainlink Labs, added: “Using ICE’s Consolidated Feed data as an input into Chainlink’s derived FX and precious metals rates onchain via Chainlink’s institutional-grade infrastructure is a watershed moment in the evolution of global markets. This collaboration signals a pivotal shift towards a unified, globally accessible onchain financial system, with hundreds of trillions in assets on a clear path to tokenization.”
The collaboration brings together a major provider of traditional financial market data with a prominent infrastructure provider in the digital asset space. For financial institutions and technology vendors monitoring the sector, the move signifies a continued effort to align the data standards of onchain environments with those of established capital markets.
