Pyth Network strikes a major milestone. The decentralized data provider announces real-time integration of the world’s most traded ETF prices on over 100 blockchains. A first in the crypto ecosystem, marking a strategic turning point for decentralized finance (DeFi).
Now, DeFi protocol users can access real-time prices of flagship assets from traditional finance (TradFi), such as the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), the iShares Russell 1000 ETF (IWB), or the Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG). These price feeds are powered by major financial institutions, ensuring the reliability and granularity of the transmitted data.
Une couverture inédite des marchés globaux
Pyth goes beyond a few iconic ETFs. The network offers a wide array of data covering:
- American stocks, from blue chips to small caps;
- Representative indices of emerging and developed markets;
- Tangible assets, such as gold or Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).
This massive extension of the data catalog fundamentally transforms the possible use cases for decentralized protocols, whether it’s structured products, options, or predictive markets indexed on non-crypto assets.
Programmable finance: l’ère du multi-actif
The ambition is clear: merge DeFi and TradFi into a programmable system, accessible 24/7. Mike Cahill, CEO of Douro Labs and contributor to Pyth, summarizes the scope of this advancement:
With the launch of Pyth’s real-time ETF price feeds, we are rewriting the market data economy by integrating traditional asset rails into programmable finance.
Thanks to this initiative, DeFi protocols are no longer limited to cryptocurrency prices. They can now build products backed by traditional financial instruments, paving the way for hybrid strategies, ETF portfolio tokenization, or new forms of decentralized passive management.
Pyth Network, catalyzer of institutional decentralized finance
With this new feature, Pyth reaffirms its position as a leader in finance-oriented oracles. As the boundary between the two worlds blurs, the bridging role played by Pyth becomes central in creating a universal financial infrastructure.
By integrating ETFs alongside on-chain crypto data, Pyth outlines a global, fluid, and programmable market, where a smart contract can react to the price of Bitcoin as well as the Nasdaq.
