Nasdaq Brings Proprietary Market Data to Blockchain via Pyth
Nasdaq partners with Pyth to distribute its TotalView market data onchain, opening real-time exchange data to blockchain applications.
Nasdaq has struck a partnership with Pyth Network to bring its proprietary TotalView market data onto the blockchain, marking a significant step in the convergence of traditional finance infrastructure and decentralized technology. The deal extends distribution of one of the exchange's most comprehensive data products to blockchain applications and other software platforms through Pyth's marketplace.
TotalView is Nasdaq's premium market data feed, offering full depth-of-book visibility into orders and trades on the exchange. By routing this data through Pyth, developers building decentralized applications will gain access to the kind of institutional-grade market intelligence that has historically been reserved for Wall Street trading desks and professional financial platforms.
