“Historically, Web3 innovation has been fueled by the introduction of high-quality market data from premium data providers such as TP ICAP. The addition of TP ICAP’s institutional-grade forex pricing data to Chainlink helps enhance the security, accuracy, and utility of blockchain applications.”

TP ICAP, the renowned provider of electronic market infrastructure and information, has joined the Chainlink Network to bring high-quality Forex data to the blockchain ecosystem, with the ability to support more than 960 pairs.

This forex data is being contributed to Chainlink decentralized oracle networks (DONs) by Parameta Solutions, TP ICAP’s data and analytics division, and will support the generation of tamper-resistant oracle reports.

TP ICAP’s Forex pricing available to developers via Chainlink Price Feeds

With over 5 billion data points already delivered to applications across Web3’s most prominent blockchain environments, Chainlink makes TP ICAP’s forex pricing data available to the widest net of developers possible through aggregated Chainlink Price Feeds.

This news is the latest example of TP ICAP’s increased focus on blockchain, following its recent launch of Fusion Digital Assets, a wholesale marketplace for spot crypto assets.

TP ICAP operates at the heart of wholesale OTC and exchange-traded markets. The company is active across all major financial, energy, and commodities asset classes, where brokers match buyers and sellers to improve price discovery, trade execution, and liquidity flow. The firm is also a provider of OTC market data, including live and historical pricing content, and advanced valuation and analytics.
