The World’s Most Traded ETFs, Now On-Chain

The World’s Missing Infrastructure

Despite everything you’ve heard, global markets are broken—or rather, they’re unfinished.

For decades, financial data—the kind that powers trillions in global markets—has lived behind closed doors. Traditional systems are walled gardens, built on fragmented foundations and legacy rails. DeFi, for all its promises, has been missing critical ingredients: high-quality, tradable data on the assets that actually move markets.

Until now.

What if the live prices of the world’s most traded ETFs could flow directly into smart contracts? With the launch of these price feeds on Pyth Network, it’s the start of a new chapter in global market infrastructure.

Closing the Gap Between Markets

Pyth is building the universal price layer for the new financial system—one that spans both traditional and digital assets, including the ETFs global markets rely on. Here’s what that looks like:

  • Real-time price feeds—including the most widely held ETFs
  • Sourced from institutional-grade venues
  • Live on 100+ blockchains

While DeFi has tried to replicate ETF exposure with synthetic assets and mirrored contracts, the reality is that replication isn’t the same as access. Pyth feeds are different: they publish the actual market price, sourced from real-world venues, on-chain in real time. No abstraction. No imitations. Just the real price, on chain.

Mirroring the Global Markets

Imagine a snapshot of the global economy, totally composable for the first time.

Here’s what Pyth’s new ETF price feeds span:

  • US equities from large-cap giants to small-cap movers
  • Global indices across developed and emerging markets
  • Sector, style, and factor strategies like tech, value, and growth
  • Real-world assets like gold and real estate investment trusts
  • Fixed income markets, from treasuries to short-term rates
  • Yield and dividend-focused strategies
  • Total market and multi-asset portfolios

These feeds unlock new use cases across DeFi protocols, RWAs, asset tokenization, and beyond, offering the foundational data layers behind institutional portfolios to everyone.

Rewriting the Market Data Economy

Foundational market data is now open, composable, and on-chain. Here’s why this changes everything:

  • Builders can create smarter products, from index-inspired trackers and thematic portfolios to lending markets, RWA protocols, and structured yield strategies
  • Traders gain real-world market context with access to live ETF prices that reflect institutional flows, macro sentiment, and sector-level dynamics
  • Institutions can tap into high-fidelity market data without the legacy costs or infrastructure—delivered on-chain, at scale, and ready for integration across DeFi and beyond

One Price Layer. Infinite Data.

The walls between TradFi and DeFi are coming down. And Pyth is the bridge to a new financial system—one that’s open, accessible, and built for everyone. Today’s launch is part of a larger mission: to collect the price of everything and make it available everywhere. Pyth delivers both traditional and digital-native market data through a single, composable layer. From ETFs to crypto assets, from Wall Street to Web3—it all converges here.

One network. One price layer. Endless possibilities.
