Chainlink Teams with ICE to Deliver On-Chain FX and Precious Metals Data

Chainlink has partnered with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) to deliver real-time foreign exchange and precious metals data on-chain through Chainlink Data Streams, a move that aims to support the growing demand for tokenized asset markets [1]. This collaboration integrates ICE’s Consolidated Feed, which aggregates pricing information from over 300 global exchanges and marketplaces, into Chainlink’s decentralized infrastructure for use in blockchain applications [2]. The data will be distributed across over 2,000 applications, financial institutions, and infrastructure providers within the Chainlink ecosystem [3].

The partnership leverages ICE’s long-standing reputation for providing high-quality, structured, and trusted financial data to enhance the reliability of on-chain data sources [4]. Maurisa Baumann, Vice President of Global Data Delivery Platforms at ICE, noted that the feed already serves global banks, asset managers, and independent software vendors, and its extension to on-chain markets represents an important step in expanding the global blockchain economy [1].

Chainlink emphasized that the integration supports the development of tokenized asset markets by supplying decentralized finance (DeFi) applications with tamper-resistant data that aligns with traditional financial market standards [5]. ICE will serve as one of several data providers in Chainlink’s ecosystem, which is designed to facilitate low-latency and high-frequency settlements [2].

Fernando Vazquez, President of Capital Markets at Chainlink Labs, described the partnership as a “watershed moment” in the evolution of global markets, highlighting the increasing role of on-chain infrastructure in enabling large-scale asset tokenization [6]. With tokenized real-world asset markets expected to grow significantly, the collaboration reflects the rising demand for secure, institutional-grade data services [7].

Industry observers suggest that while the current focus is on forex and precious metals, partnerships like this could expand into other asset classes, including equities and fixed income, depending on regulatory developments and market adoption [8]. Regulators are also monitoring the integration of traditional market data into blockchain-based systems, assessing how these services align with compliance frameworks and oversight practices [9]. These developments are contributing to a hybrid financial system where traditional infrastructure and blockchain networks coexist, enabling cross-platform settlement and shared data standards [10].

This collaboration not only underscores Chainlink’s ongoing efforts to build trust in decentralized data but also highlights the broader shift in financial infrastructure toward blockchain-enabled solutions that offer transparency, speed, and security. As more institutions seek to tokenize real-world assets, the availability of reliable on-chain data becomes a critical enabler for the next phase of financial innovation.
