Overview
- FTSE Russell will publish equity, FX, and digital-asset benchmarks on multiple public and private blockchains using Chainlink’s DataLink service.
- The feeds will be continuously available to more than 2,000 applications across over 50 networks, providing canonical index values for on-chain use.
- Initial coverage includes the Russell 1000, Russell 2000, Russell 3000, and the FTSE 100, along with digital asset benchmarks.
- FTSE Russell CEO Fiona Bassett said the move securely distributes trusted benchmark data to institutions and developers that rely on the firm in traditional markets.
- Industry voices say on-chain indices become programmable building blocks for tokenized products and automated strategies, though licensing and regulatory implementation details remain to be worked out.
