The KuCoin exchange has announced that it has incorporated price data feeds from the Chainlink service to its over-the-counter marketplace. The move will allow the exchange to provide its 10 million users with open-source decentralized price data on major cryptocurrencies traded on the venue, as well as information on other key financial market metrics.
The integration of Chainlink price data feeds will allow users of the KuCoin OTC marketplace to access information on 21 fiat currencies listed on the exchange and trade assets on a peer-to-peer basis at predefined prices. Initial plans of integration include the addition of INR/USD and USDT/USD price data feeds. The exchange has announced that more fiat-to-crypto currency data feeds will be added in the near future to cater to user requests and demand.
