ICE Extends Collaboration with Blockstream to Introduce Cryptocurrency Options Data

Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (ICE), a leading global provider of data, technology, and market infrastructure, announced a expanded partnership with Blockstream, a leader in blockchain technologies and financial cryptography, to add cryptocurrency options data to the Cryptocurrency Data Feed.

Launched by ICE and Blockstream in 2018, the Cryptocurrency Data Feed delivers real-time cryptocurrency information and includes data on over 100 cryptocurrencies from more than 30 globally sourced venues and exchanges.

Both companies work closely to aggregate cryptocurrency data from multiple sources into a rich and easily consumable data feed, according to the official press release. Leveraging the Cryptocurrency Data Feed, ICE Data Services’ customers can receive global market data in a streaming feed with comprehensive cryptocurrency information.

"Interest in the crypto markets has been steadily increasing after seeing key regulatory decisions and positive market responses earlier this year," said Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream. "This is a great time to launch this new offering, and we are pleased to continue working closely with ICE and cryptocurrency exchanges globally to deliver this data service that we believe can significantly reduce the barriers to broader trading of cryptocurrencies."

"As the crypto market evolves, access to quality price discovery information is increasingly crucial," said Maurisa Baumann, VP, Desktop and Feeds Products, at ICE. "We are pleased to continue working with Blockstream to help address the growing need for transparency and offer a comprehensive view of the market via the ICE Cryptocurrency Data Feed."

Previously, ICE has updated its trading data for November 2023​, showing a total volume of overall financial products of 58,353,996 contracts, up 23.7% month-on-month.
