By incorporating ICE’s data, Chainlink aims to deliver pricing feeds that meet the accuracy and latency requirements of traditional capital markets. That standard could help support a new generation of tokenized assets, automated settlement systems and other institutional-grade blockchain applications.

The move fits into a broader trend of connecting blockchain rails and traditional financial instruments as large banks, asset managers tokenize real-world assets (RWA) like bonds, commodities and funds.

Maurisa Baumann, VP of Global Data Delivery at ICE, said in a statement that the collaboration with Chainlink offers "trusted, structured multi-asset class data" from traditional markets for crypto applications, a key step toward growing the blockchain economy.

"This collaboration 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," said Fernando Vazquez, president of capital markets at Chainlink Labs.
