ICE’s Consolidated Feed, which aggregates market data from over 300 global exchanges and trading venues, will be added to Chainlink Data Streams. This is expected to enhance the accuracy of quotes used in DeFi, banking products, and asset management.

The solution will also provide low latency and protection against manipulation, as well as accelerate the development of institutional blockchain applications and asset tokenization, according to representatives from ICE and Chainlink Labs.
