A Global Market Without Borders: Unlocking the Largest US Equities

What if we told you DeFi was meant for more than just trading crypto? That blockchain technology is finally poised to unlock financial opportunities at an unimaginable scale?

Picture a world where:

• A trader in Indonesia can invest in the hottest IPOs right alongside Goldman Sachs
• An investor in Nigeria can build a global VC portfolio without any barriers
• Market data flows freely to everyone—without paywalls or exclusive trading desks

Now, what if we told you that this isn't some far-off dream—that it's unfolding today?

With the launch of over 570 new price feeds covering the top 500 US stocks by market cap and the 100 most-traded non-financial companies found on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Pyth Price Feeds now exceed 1,000 symbols, expanding access to real-time market data like never before. Today, Pyth is:

• Making previously inaccessible data available for free to global users across 100+ blockchains and off-chain platforms like OpenBB and TradingView
• Creating the first truly open price layer, enabling seamless financial services across DeFi, TradFi, and beyond
• Powering a revolution with first-party market data from leading banks, exchanges, and financial institutions

This is just the beginning of Pyth’s mission to unlock the price of everything. With 1,000 symbols live today and taking steps towards launching the next 10,000 tomorrow, it’s all being made possible.

From Wall Street to Web3: Creating a Borderless Financial Market

While industries like entertainment and transportation have expanded seamlessly across borders (think: Spotify in India, Netflix in Indonesia, and Uber in Brazil), financial markets remain largely restricted for most of the world due to fragmentation, inaccessibility, and legacy infrastructure. This includes:

• Regional restrictions on trading and investments
• High fees and delays in cross-border transactions
• A lack of real-time data for the vast majority of traders’ decision-making
• Legacy rails such as SWIFT codes, routing numbers, and intermediaries
• Unsustainable market data pricing, which locks out most traders except the elite

What’s the bottom line? Many assets remain out of reach depending on your location and what you want to trade. And while DeFi was created to remove these barriers, it’s still missing a crucial piece: access to all asset prices. Blockchain technology alone can’t fix this since it can’t simply “plug into” Bloomberg Terminal, and free alternatives like Yahoo! Finance and Google Finance aren’t going to cut it.

To achieve true financial freedom, all forms of value need to flow seamlessly across borders—unlocking a more open and inclusive global economy.

Reaching this end stage will require:

• Breaking free from legacy systems
• Unlocking markets that were previously inaccessible to most traders
• Enabling 24/7 global access to all asset classes

While the above can be made possible by tokenizing assets, there’s still a missing piece:

A universal source of truth for asset prices—one that bridges DeFi and TradFi, on-chain and off-chain systems, across every market.

DeFi and TradFi were never meant to be enemies. The real unlock lies in combining their strengths:

• Decentralization and trustless infrastructure from DeFi
• Deep liquidity and mature assets from TradFi
• Unified by real-time, first-party data from trusted sources

This is where Pyth Network comes in.

Pyth provides the universal price layer: fully decentralized infrastructure that enables any asset to be traded anywhere. Now, the next evolution of finance is finally within reach, forging a global market that’s frictionless, borderless, and open to all.

Don’t Settle for Less

Don’t get ripped off. Don’t settle for bad prices.

Your trades deserve precision and protection from manipulation. Pyth is designed to deliver the purest and and most accurate prices, giving you direct access to fair, real-time market data across crypto and traditional assets.

This mission goes beyond DeFi; it's about addressing fundamental financial inefficiencies like high fees, slow international transfers, and restricted access to global markets. Bringing hundreds of price feeds for the most significant US equities on-chain opens the path to a more open, inclusive financial system:

• Say goodbye to delays, hidden fees, and intermediaries
• Enable real-world financial tools for emerging markets and beyond
• Bridge legacy finance with a decentralized, global-first economy

Powering the Future of Finance with First-Party Data

Pyth Network is the only price layer bringing first-party data on-chain. For years, leading banks, exchanges, and financial institutions—including Revolut, AMINA Bank, Cboe Global Markets, and LMAX—have contributed their high-precision data directly to Pyth. Through this price layer, builders can access real-time pricing for both crypto and traditional assets, including US equities, without the need for costly Bloomberg Terminal or Refinitive subscriptions.

Starting today, you can get instant access to the same institutional-grade data that top traders rely on—without paying an exorbitant sum. Explore the newest equity feeds by Pyth here.
