Pyth Network announced Wednesday that it now distributes NYSE BQT, providing real-time stock quotes and trade data from all five NYSE Group equity exchanges. The network previously received approval in September to distribute Nasdaq Basic, meaning applications can now access data from both major exchange groups through a single marketplace interface. Clients must secure a direct license from the New York Stock Exchange before accessing this feed, as NYSE’s existing data rules and agreements continue to apply to all users. This integration targets platforms offering stock perpetual futures or tokenized shares, allowing them to display live prices during market hours while relying on Pyth’s own indices for pricing when markets are closed.
Data specifications and coverage
The feed includes best bid and offer with size, trade prices, official closing prices, total trading volume, and alerts for trading halts or short-sale restrictions. It covers NYSE, NYSE American, NYSE Arca, NYSE National, and NYSE Texas, plus stocks and ETFs listed elsewhere if traded on NYSE Group venues. Anthony Zawadzki, head of data and digital asset products at NYSE, stated that "the quality and integrity of the underlying data matter more than ever" as financial markets move onchain. He added that the collaboration gives builders and institutions another way to access NYSE data. Pyth explained that its indices price U.S. equities 24/7, while NYSE BQT carries the primary market close, so an app can show exactly how far a stock has moved since NYSE closed, through the night and over the weekend.
Marketplace structure and provider terms
Pyth launched its data marketplace in April with providers including Euronext FX, Fidelity Investments, OTC Markets Group, SGX FX, Tradeweb, and Exchange Data International. The platform allows institutions to provide their data to other companies while deciding how much to charge, how their data is credited, and the terms for using it. This model shifts control to data owners, who set pricing and usage conditions rather than accepting standard rates. The addition of NYSE data strengthens the marketplace’s appeal for DeFi protocols needing reliable equity feeds. However, the requirement for separate NYSE licenses adds friction for smaller developers who may lack the resources to negotiate individual data agreements. Despite this hurdle, the dual-exchange access via one oracle reduces infrastructure complexity for apps targeting both NYSE and Nasdaq listings.
