Coinbase, a leading publicly-listed firm for digital assets, has integrated Chainlink to bring its premium exchange data underpinning billions in trading activity onchain for the first time via DataLink, an institutional-grade data publishing service powered by the Chainlink data standard.

Coinbase operates one of the most institutionally integrated crypto exchanges. By making Coinbase's exchange data securely available onchain through Chainlink's industry-standard oracle platform, DeFi markets have direct access to important market information, driving more accurate pricing, stronger risk management, and entirely new onchain markets across derivatives, tokenized RWAs, structured products, perpetuals, synthetic assets, next-gen risk engines for lending protocols, and more.

This marks a major milestone in DeFi market infrastructure, as high-quality exchange data that powers billions in institutional trading activity is now available onchain through Chainlink's battle-tested infrastructure. Chainlink serves as the universal gateway to enterprise-grade data, abstracting the complexities of data delivery, decentralization, security, and reliability so developers can focus on shipping products at scale without having to manage critical data infrastructure.

With DataLink, protocols can now access a wide range of Coinbase's premium datasets directly onchain, including:

• Order book data
• Spot prices
• Perpetual futures data, including from Coinbase International Exchange
• E-mini futures data
• Additional datasets spanning crypto, metals, energy, and equity futures via Coinbase Derivatives Exchange

Liz Martin, Vice President, Coinbase Markets, said: "We're excited to build on our existing Chainlink integrations by adopting DataLink to publish Coinbase's exchange market data onchain for the first time. The Chainlink data standard is battle-tested, institutional-grade infrastructure, making it the clear choice for bringing Coinbase's market data into onchain markets. Our benchmarks enable DeFi and TradFi developers to build more robust onchain apps across derivatives, tokenized assets, and more."

Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs, said: "Coinbase bringing its exchange data onchain through Chainlink sends a clear signal. By delivering institutional-grade exchange data to blockchains, we are proving that the future of finance requires a foundation of uncompromising security. We aren't just moving data; we are building the programmable market infrastructure defining the next era of tokenization and accelerating the convergence of institutional finance and DeFi."
