Chainlink LINK Strengthens DeFi Infrastructure with ICE Data Integration
Chainlink's oracle network has gained a strategic edge by incorporating Intercontinental Exchange's Consolidated Feed, a global benchmark for forex and precious metals pricing. This partnership brings institutional credibility to decentralized finance, delivering tamper-proof market data from over 300 trading venues, including the NYSE.
Tokenized asset markets, which are projected to exceed $30 trillion, will benefit from real-time price accuracy and automated settlement features. This development significantly reduces the infrastructure gap between traditional finance and blockchain ecosystems.
The collaboration highlights Chainlink's growing role as essential middleware. By connecting ICE's regulated data streams with smart contracts, the integration solves a major hurdle for institutional adoption—reliable on-chain valuation.
