New Change FX uses Chainlink to publish FCA-regulated FX data Onchain

New Change FX has entered an official partnership with Chain link to make its regulated currency benchmark data available on-chain. The agreement enables New Change FX to publish FX spot and FX forward benchmarks directly to blockchain networks using Chainlink DataLink, meeting a long-standing need for regulated, independent FX prices in on-chain financial systems.

What is the partnership between New Change FX and Chainlink?

The partnership will enable New Change FX, also known as NCFX, to deliver its FCA-regulated FX benchmark data to the chain via Chainlink’s oracle infrastructure. This means developers and institutions can now access trusted FX price data across more than 70 public and private blockchain networks, covering more than 2,500 applications.

NCFX is an independent benchmark manager regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. The FX benchmarks are already used in the traditional financial sector for valuation, pricing, analysis and risk management. Through the integration with Chainlink DataLink, the same data standards used in conventional markets are now extended to blockchain-based systems.

Chainlink provides the infrastructure that allows this data to be delivered securely and consistently. The goal is to provide regulated FX benchmarks in a format that onchain systems can use without compromising data quality or oversight.

Why are regulated currency data important in the chain?

Onchain finance increasingly mirrors traditional financial activities. Lending, derivatives and settlement systems depend on accurate reference prices. Currency data is particularly sensitive because even small price errors can lead to large losses.

In traditional markets, FX benchmarks are subject to strict rules. They must be transparent, independently sourced and subject to supervisory supervision. Many onchain applications today rely on synthetic pricing models or fragmented data sources that do not meet these standards.

Bringing regulated FX benchmarks into the chain addresses a number of long-standing issues:

• Price transparency improves because benchmarks follow established methodologies
• Regulatory alignment becomes easier for institutions entering on-chain markets
• Risk management tools can use consistent currency reference rates
• Settlement systems will have clearer audit trails

For banks, asset managers and payment companies exploring blockchain infrastructure, this type of data is often a basic requirement.

How does Chainlink support DataLink NCFX?

Chainlink DataLink is designed for data owners who want to publish information across the chain without building new infrastructure. It leverages Chainlink’s Oracle network, which has already supported more than $27 trillion in transaction value.

Through DataLink, NCFX can distribute its FX benchmarks across multiple blockchains while maintaining control over data quality and compliance. The system is already used by established data providers such as Deutsche Börse and S&P Global Ratings.

From a technical perspective, DataLink ensures data delivery, verification and uptime. NCFX focuses on producing regulated benchmarks, while Chainlink ensures data reliably reaches onchain users.

Florent Sollier, Director of Product Management at Chainlink Labs, said the integration makes institutional-grade FX data accessible across public and private blockchains in a secure and compliant manner.

When does 24/7 FX Pricing go live?

NCFX plans to launch a 24/7 currency feed in the first quarter of 2026. This feed will provide continuous mid-market rates for major and emerging market currencies.

Unlike traditional FX benchmarks, which often follow fixed market windows, the new feed will be derived from real-time crypto market liquidity. This reflects how onchain markets work, where trading does not stop on weekends or holidays.

The feed is designed to support applications that require constant pricing, such as:

• Onchain FX settlement systems
• Crypto-native payment platforms
• Tokenized asset markets with FX exposure
• Risk management tools that work across time zones

How does this help institutional adoption?

Institutions entering onchain markets often face a data gap. They are familiar with regulated benchmarks but are hesitant to rely on unverified price feeds.

Through this partnership, institutions accessing NCFX data onchain will receive the same level of transparency and oversight they expect in traditional markets. The difference is in the delivery, not in the standards.

This is important for compliance teams, auditors and regulators who assess activities in the chain. When price inputs meet recognized benchmarks, internal approval processes become easier.

Kinga Broel-Plater, Chief Commercial Officer at New Change FX, described the partnership as a way to bring established FX price integrity into blockchain systems at scale.

With regulated currency data available on-chain, developers can build systems that more closely resemble traditional financial infrastructure.

Examples include:

• Onchain FX swaps are settled based on mid-market interest rates
• Tokenized bonds or funds with multi-currency exposure
• Payment systems that convert currencies using reference prices
• Risk engines that calculate currency exposure in real time

How does this fit into Chainlink’s broader activity?

The NCFX partnership comes as Chainlink continues to expand its infrastructure across major blockchain networks.

Recent updates include:

• Alive Solana-Base Bridge using Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, allowing direct asset movement between the two networks
• Chainlink CCIP, data streams and price feeds go live on the Monad mainnet from day one

Conclusion

The partnership between New Change FX and Chainlink brings FCA-regulated FX benchmarks onchain using established Oracle infrastructure. By integrating via Chainlink DataLink, NCFX can distribute its FX spot and forward benchmarks across more than 70 blockchain networks, while maintaining traditional market standards.

With a 24/7 FX feed planned for the first quarter of 2026, the partnership will support continuous pricing aligned with onchain market activity. The result is regulated, transparent currency data delivered in a format suitable for blockchain-based financial systems, without changing the way the benchmarks themselves are managed.
