Nasdaq Streams Proprietary Market Data Onchain via Pyth Network
Nasdaq partners with Pyth to bring its TotalView market data to blockchain apps, marking a major bridge between traditional finance and DeFi.
Nasdaq has struck a partnership with Pyth Network to distribute its proprietary TotalView market data directly to blockchain applications, extending the reach of one of Wall Street's most closely watched data products into the decentralized finance ecosystem for the first time.
The deal channels Nasdaq's TotalView feed — which provides granular, real-time order book information — through Pyth's on-chain data marketplace, giving blockchain-based platforms and other software developers programmatic access to institutional-grade market intelligence they previously could not tap.

The partnership positions Pyth as a critical conduit between traditional capital markets and the rapidly maturing on-chain financial stack.
