Chainlink announces partnership with Intercontinental Exchange; Sergey Nazarov speaks at FintechTvGlobal.

Chainlink has announced a strategic partnership with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), to integrate institutional-grade foreign exchange (forex) and precious metals pricing data onto blockchain networks [1]. This collaboration aims to enhance the appeal of blockchain technology to traditional financial institutions and support the development of tokenized assets and institutional-grade blockchain applications.

The partnership incorporates ICE’s Consolidated Feed, a dataset sourced from over 300 exchanges and marketplaces worldwide, into Chainlink Data Streams. This integration will benefit over 2,000 on-chain applications, including financial institutions and infrastructure providers [1]. The goal is to deliver pricing feeds that meet the accuracy and latency requirements of traditional capital markets, thereby supporting a new generation of tokenized assets, automated settlement systems, and other institutional-grade blockchain applications [2].

Maurisa Baumann, Vice President of Global Data Delivery at ICE, stated that the collaboration offers "trusted, structured multi-asset class data" from traditional markets for crypto applications. This is a key step toward growing the blockchain economy [1]. Fernando Vazquez, President of Capital Markets at Chainlink Labs, added that the move 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 [2].

In addition to this partnership, Chainlink has launched the Chainlink Reserve, a strategic accumulation of LINK tokens. The Reserve has already accumulated over US$1 million worth of LINK tokens and is expected to grow as more protocol revenue is converted into LINK holdings [1]. This initiative aims to support the long-term growth and sustainability of the Chainlink network.

The LINK token has reacted positively to these developments, surging over 40% in the past month to reach US$21.55. This price increase has elevated LINK to the 11th position among cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, with a current market cap of US$14.6 billion [1].
