FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider whose benchmarks cover over $18 trillion in assets under management, is collaborating with Chainlink. The partnership will bring FTSE Russell's world-leading global indices on-chain for the first time.

This integration provides the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem with access to high-quality, reliable, and tamper-proof financial data. Developers will be able to use these indices to build a new generation of innovative on-chain financial products, from derivatives and options to tokenized assets that reference real-world financial benchmarks.

"FTSE Russell bringing its trusted benchmarks to blockchains via Chainlink is a landmark moment for the industry. This integration demonstrates how DataLink securely and reliably enables globally-leading benchmark providers to deliver institutional-grade financial data directly into blockchain markets. We're excited to work with FTSE Russell on this critical step toward enabling the next generation of data-driven financial products and tokenized assets." — Sergey Nazarov, Chainlink Co-Founder.

The data will be made available through Chainlink's DataLink platform, which supports over 40 different blockchains. This wide-reaching availability is designed to fuel the creation of more sophisticated and reliable DeFi applications.

This collaboration signals a deepening integration between traditional financial infrastructure and the on-chain economy, providing a foundational layer for the tokenization of real-world assets and the growth of institutional DeFi.
