Bloomberg and Kaiko Partner to Deliver Licensed Market Data Onchain; Robinhood Lists CC
Bloomberg has partnered with Paris-based digital-asset data provider Kaiko to make licensed financial market data directly available within blockchain environments. The collaboration aims to standardize pricing, security identifiers and reference data for tokenized markets, reducing reconciliation disputes and improving data integrity for institutional participants such as banks and asset managers. The first targeted use case is tokenized US Treasury bills and repo markets on the Canton Network. Kaiko CEO Ambre Soubiran highlighted the need for enterprise-grade data in tokenized securities infrastructure; Kaiko strengthened its regulated index capabilities by acquiring Vinter in 2024. Separately, token CC was listed on Robinhood, expanding retail access and potentially increasing liquidity. The article includes a short technical snapshot for CC (price ~ $0.17, bullish indicators such as RSI ~58, EMA20 ~$0.164) but notes mixed short-term signals. Market relevance: the partnership supports growth of tokenized real-world assets (RWA), estimated at around $25 billion excluding stablecoins, and may accelerate institutional adoption by embedding a common licensed data source onchain.
Bullish
The Bloomberg–Kaiko collaboration is likely bullish for tokenized asset markets and related tokens. Standardized, licensed market data onchain reduces operational risk, reconciliation costs and counterparty friction—factors that typically deter institutional participation. By targeting tokenized US Treasuries and repo markets and supporting regulated index services (Kaiko’s Vinter acquisition), the partnership directly addresses infrastructure gaps for RWA issuance and custody, which can increase institutional demand and liquidity over time. The Robinhood listing of CC is a complementary bullish signal: expanded retail access tends to increase trading volume and short-term liquidity for listed tokens. Short-term effects may be mixed — technical indicators for CC show both bullish (RSI ~58, uptrend) and bearish signals (supertrend flagged bearish in the source), so price volatility is likely as traders reprice expectations. In the medium to long term, improved data integrity and broader distribution channels should support higher adoption of tokenized products, greater market depth, and more stable pricing — positive for token valuations linked to RWA infrastructure. Historical parallels: infrastructure upgrades (e.g., centralized data feeds, custody improvements) have previously preceded institutional inflows and higher market caps for related assets. Risks remain: regulatory scrutiny of tokenized securities and execution risks on new chains could temper enthusiasm.
