FTSE Russell announced a partnership with Chainlink, a leading Web3 oracle provider, to bring its major global indices and market data, including the Russell 1000, Russell 2000, and Russell 3000, onto the blockchain. FTSE Russell will use Chainlink's institutional-grade data distribution service, DataLink, for data distribution, ensuring its benchmark data is available 24/7 across multiple blockchains. FTSE Russell CEO Fiona Bassett stated that this move is a significant step in driving innovation in tokenized assets, ETFs, and next-generation financial products, aiming to provide institutions and developers with the same high-quality data as traditional finance.
