The blockchain oracle platform Chainlink has established a partnership with the U.S. Fortune 500 company Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) to bring foreign exchange and precious metals data into the on-chain environment.
Chainlink announced on Monday that this collaboration will integrate ICE's comprehensive data sources, which aggregate market data from over 300 exchanges and markets worldwide, to support the derivative datasets for Chainlink data streams.
According to Chainlink, these data sources support over 2,000 decentralized applications (DApps) and major financial institutions, providing them with the market information necessary to operate in a tokenized environment.
This partnership marks an important milestone in the integration of traditional market infrastructure with the blockchain ecosystem.
ICE is a U.S. company that specializes in operating global financial exchanges, clearinghouses, and data services. The company designs and operates a digital network connecting buyers and sellers of major asset classes, most notably owning the New York Stock Exchange.
By leveraging this pricing data, Chainlink will enhance the accuracy and reliability of exchange rates used by DeFi platforms, asset management firms, and banks building products on-chain.
The company anticipates that this initiative will promote the growth of institutional-grade blockchain applications that require low-latency and tamper-proof market data, which are always essential in automated settlements and high-value transactions.
Maurisa Baumann, Vice President of ICE's Global Data Delivery Platform, noted that partnering with Chainlink is "an important step in driving the global blockchain economy," as it ensures that markets built on-chain can achieve the same level of reliability and transparency as traditional capital markets.
Fernando Vazquez, President of Capital Markets at Chainlink Labs, stated that this collaboration points to "a unified, globally accessible on-chain financial system." He emphasized that this enables blockchain infrastructure to support the tokenization of trillions of dollars in assets, demonstrating Chainlink's commitment to bringing institutional-grade standards to DeFi.
As this news is released, the demand for tokenized RWA continues to rise. In June of this year, Standard Chartered Bank predicted that the RWA market size could exceed $30 trillion by 2034.
Data tracking platform RWA.xyz shows that the total on-chain RWA is approximately $25.7 billion, while the stablecoin market size exceeds $260 billion.
Additionally, data indicates that the total number of RWA asset holders has surpassed 347,000, growing by 13.97% in the past 30 days. The data also shows that the number of stablecoin holders exceeds 188 million, with a growth of 2.82% in the past 30 days.
