Chainlink и Intercontinental Exchange объединяют усилия для интеграции валютных и металлических данных в блокчейн Translation: Chainlink and Intercontinental Exchange Join Forces to Integrate Currency and Metal Data into Blockchain

The blockchain oracle Chainlink has announced a partnership with the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), which owns the NYSE. Together, they will integrate currency and precious metals data into the blockchain.

The ICE Consolidated Feed, which aggregates market data from over 300 global exchanges and trading platforms, will be incorporated into Chainlink Data Streams. This is expected to enhance the precision of quotes utilized in DeFi, banking products, and asset management.

The solution will also provide low latency and protection against manipulation, while accelerating the development of institutional blockchain applications and asset tokenization, noted representatives from ICE and Chainlink Labs.
