Blockchain oracle Chainlink has announced a strategic partnership with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the owner of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), to integrate comprehensive currency and precious metals data into blockchain environments.
ICE’s Consolidated Feed aggregates market data from over 300 global exchanges and trading venues. This data will be incorporated into Chainlink Data Streams, enhancing the accuracy of price quotes used in decentralized finance (DeFi), banking products, and asset management applications.
Representatives from ICE and Chainlink Labs emphasize that this solution will provide low latency, robust protection against market manipulation, and accelerate the development of institutional blockchain use cases and asset tokenization.
Following the news, Chainlink’s native token LINK responded with a price increase of more than 2%, trading at $21.81 at the time of writing.
LINK holds the largest market capitalization in the Real World Asset (RWA) segment, valued at $14.7 billion. Other leading tokens in this space include XLM ($13.8 billion) and ONDO ($3.1 billion).
