Partnership Brings Institutional-Grade Equity Market Data to Blockchain Infrastructure
Nasdaq has selected Pyth Network to distribute Nasdaq TotalView market data, marking a significant step in bringing institutional-grade U.S. equity market information to blockchain-based applications and software-native financial markets.
Under the partnership, Pyth will deliver Nasdaq TotalView’s depth-of-book data and order imbalance informationthrough its decentralized market data infrastructure, enabling developers, exchanges, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, and financial applications to access one of the world’s most comprehensive equity market data feeds in real time.
The collaboration underscores the growing convergence between traditional financial market infrastructure and blockchain technology as institutions increasingly seek to distribute high-quality data beyond conventional trading terminals.
What Nasdaq TotalView Brings to the Blockchain
Nasdaq TotalView is the exchange’s flagship market data product, providing visibility into the full order book rather than only the best bid and offer prices.
Unlike standard market feeds, TotalView includes every displayed buy and sell order across Nasdaq-listed securities, allowing traders and institutions to analyze market depth, liquidity, and supply-demand dynamics. The feed also delivers order imbalance data, which provides insight into buying and selling pressure before the market opens and closes.
By making this information available through Pyth’s infrastructure, developers can build decentralized trading platforms, derivatives protocols, analytics tools, and artificial intelligence-powered financial applications that leverage institutional-quality market data.
Pyth Continues Expansion Into Traditional Finance
The Nasdaq agreement represents another milestone in Pyth’s strategy of becoming a global distribution layer for institutional financial data.
Earlier this year, Pyth launched its Data Marketplace, allowing financial institutions to publish proprietary datasets directly to blockchain applications while retaining ownership, attribution, and commercial control over their data. Major organizations including Tradeweb, Fidelity Investments, Euronext FX, OTC Markets Group, Exchange Data International, and Singapore Exchange FX joined the marketplace at launch.
The addition of Nasdaq’s flagship equity market data further expands the range of institutional datasets available through Pyth, strengthening its position as one of the largest providers of onchain financial information.
Bridging Traditional and Onchain Markets
Institutional demand for real-time financial data has accelerated as tokenized assets, decentralized exchanges, and blockchain-based trading platforms continue to mature.
Historically, premium exchange data has been distributed through proprietary terminals and specialized vendor networks. Pyth’s infrastructure allows institutions to publish data directly to blockchain ecosystems and software-native applications while preserving source attribution and licensing controls.
Industry observers believe the Nasdaq integration could help support a new generation of tokenized equities, perpetual futures, structured products, and algorithmic trading systems that rely on institutional-grade price discovery.
Institutional Adoption of Onchain Data Accelerates
The agreement also reflects a broader trend among traditional financial institutions embracing blockchain infrastructure as a complementary distribution channel rather than a competing ecosystem.
Over the past year, Pyth has expanded partnerships across exchanges, banks, market makers, and financial data providers while increasing coverage of equities, commodities, foreign exchange, economic indicators, and digital assets. The company now supports hundreds of decentralized applications across more than 100 blockchain networks.
For Nasdaq, the partnership extends the reach of its premium market data into rapidly growing blockchain-based financial markets. For Pyth, it reinforces its ambition to become the standard infrastructure connecting traditional capital markets with decentralized finance.
