We’re excited to announce that Intercontinental Exchange (@ICE_Markets) and Chainlink are collaborating to allow Chainlink to now bring high-quality derived forex and precious metals data onchain.

ICE is a global financial powerhouse that operates markets, clearing houses, and data services critical to the functioning of the world's economy, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Its FX rates and precious metals prices are relied on by world-leading banks, asset managers, and other institutions. The use of ICE’s Consolidated Feed data further enhances Chainlink’s data standard, delivering an onchain experience that meets the rigorous requirements of traditional capital markets and unlocks a new class of institutional-grade applications.
ICE VP, Global Data Delivery Platforms, Maurisa Baumann on the collaboration:
“With content from over 300 global exchanges and marketplaces, the ICE Consolidated Feed offers trusted, structured multi-asset class data to banks, asset managers and ISVs located around the world. We’re happy to work with Chainlink to securely and reliably provide data for onchain markets, which is an important step in growing the global blockchain economy.”
This collaboration marks a new milestone on the pathway towards the mainstream adoption of onchain finance. With demand for tokenized real-world assets expected to reach $30.1 trillion, forward-looking institutions have the opportunity to establish leadership in the digital asset space and power the rapidly growing blockchain ecosystem.
ICE serves as one of multiple high-quality data providers supporting Chainlink Data Streams, supplying established institutions and Web3 innovators with access to tamper-resistant data—paving the way towards the mainstream adoption of onchain finance.
We're excited to announce the launch of the Chainlink Reserve, a new upgrade centered on the creation of a strategic onchain reserve of LINK tokens.
https://t.co/Fgib8zR9uj
The Chainlink Reserve is designed to support the long-term growth and sustainability of the Chainlink Network by accumulating LINK tokens using offchain revenue from large enterprises that are adopting the Chainlink standard and from onchain service usage.
The Chainlink Reserve is being built up by using Payment Abstraction to convert offchain and onchain revenue into LINK, using a combination of Chainlink services and decentralized exchange infrastructure.
Demand for Chainlink has already created hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, substantially from large enterprises that have paid offchain for access to the Chainlink Platform.
With increasing demand from a number of the world’s largest banking and capital markets institutions, this form of paying for the Chainlink standard is expected to grow into the future as the industry grows.
The Reserve has already accumulated over $1M worth of LINK from this early stage launch phase, which is expected to gradually grow in the coming months as more revenue is converted into LINK and placed into the Reserve.
We do not expect any withdrawals from the Reserve for multiple years and thus it is expected to grow over time. We believe that as the industry demand for Chainlink’s unique capabilities increases, that adoption of Chainlink services will enable the Reserve to grow further.

TODAY: The White House has featured oracles as a key technology in its new Digital Asset Report, highlighting how Chainlink is critical infrastructure for powering stablecoins, tokenized funds, & the onchain economy.

We and our entire industry are immensely grateful to President Trump (@realDonaldTrump), @SecScottBessent, @DavidSacks, @BoHines, and the President‘s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets for their leadership in advancing bipartisan digital asset innovation in the United States. The Trump Administration's thoughtful approach to our industry’s adoption and growth has created a new era for both our industry and the United States financial future.
The @WhiteHouse report outlines the U.S. government’s approach to digital assets, proposing a clear regulatory framework for their issuance by addressing market structure, oversight, and consumer protection.
This landmark policy initiative underscores a growing global consensus that oracle infrastructure is critical for secure, interoperable, and compliance-ready digital assets, which are key for the blockchain industry to reach its full potential. In addition to the Chainlink team’s many ongoing meetings in D.C., this report clearly affirms the significant policy momentum Chainlink has strategically worked to support for years, both in D.C. and globally.
In a single platform, Chainlink enables governments, financial institutions, and Web3 developers to overcome the three most critical challenges in deploying institutional-grade blockchain applications in a regulated environment:
1. Delivering verifiable data onchain enables the creation of hyper-reliable government and institutional-grade blockchain applications by ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and transparency of critical data.
2. Connecting public chains, private chains, and legacy systems into a unified network unlocks next-generation financial markets and streamlines digital asset operations.
3. Enabling regulatory requirements and policy controls to be embedded directly into smart contracts allows for programmatic compliance with regulations, such as KYC/AML, jurisdictional restrictions, and transaction limits, all while preserving user privacy.
By establishing the foundational standards needed for secure and compliant digital asset infrastructure, Chainlink is accelerating digital asset adoption in America and powering the future of U.S. financial leadership.
