Bloomberg Terminal Earns Billions Annually from Data Intermediation, Now 6 Institutions Are Putting Data Directly On-Chain

Six major financial institutions — Fidelity, Euronext, Tradeweb, OTC Markets Group, Singapore Exchange (Forex), and Exchange Data International — have begun publishing proprietary market data directly on-chain via Pyth Network. This move bypasses traditional data intermediaries like Bloomberg, which has long dominated the financial data market with annual revenues of approximately $10 billion from its terminal business alone. The shift enables developers on over 100 blockchains to access high-quality, real-time financial data — including ETF valuations, fixed income data, FX rates, and OTC securities — without long-term contracts, steep fees, or proprietary hardware. This development is critical for the scalability of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization in DeFi, as reliable, institutional-grade data must be available on-chain before assets can be traded or used as collateral in decentralized protocols. Pyth’s model differs from earlier oracle solutions like Chainlink by sourcing data directly from institutional traders and exchanges rather than aggregating from third-party sources. While this approach offers higher speed and accuracy, it also involves a more centralized network of known publishers. The move challenges the decades-old monopoly of data middlemen and could significantly reduce barriers to entry for developers building DeFi products tied to traditional financial markets.
