Chainlink, an oracle platform, is collaborating with FTSE Russell, a global index provider, to bring its index data onchain through DataLink — an institutional-grade data publishing service driven by the Chainlink data standard.
FTSE Russell — with over US$18 trillion in assets under management (AUM) benchmarked — is publishing its index data onto blockchains for the first time.
More than 2,000 Chainlink ecosystem applications across over 50 public and private blockchains will be able to use FTSE Russell index data onchain.
The firm says this data will work as a stimulus for wider adoption of tokenised assets by financial institutions, seeking to establish trust in onchain benchmarks and allow institutions to create new regulated financial products and services.
Data for the Russell 1000, Russell 2000, Russell 3000 and FTSE 100 Indices, WMR FX benchmarks, FTSE DAR digital asset prices, and FTSE digital asset indices will be available across blockchains through DataLink.
Fiona Bassett, CEO at FTSE Russell, comments: “We’re excited to bring our index data onchain using Chainlink’s institutional-grade infrastructure. This marks a major step in enabling innovation around tokenised assets, ETFs, and next-generation financial products.
“DataLink allows FTSE Russell to securely distribute underlying data of some of our most trusted benchmarks across global onchain markets, providing institutions and developers the same high-quality data that powers traditional finance.”
Sergey Nazarov, Chainlink co-founder, adds: “FTSE Russell bringing its trusted benchmarks to blockchains via Chainlink is a landmark moment for the industry. This integration demonstrates how DataLink securely and reliably enables globally-leading benchmark providers to deliver institutional-grade financial data directly into blockchain markets.
“We’re excited to work with FTSE Russell on this critical step toward enabling the next generation of data-driven financial products and tokenised assets.”
