SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — TP ICAP, a leading electronic market infrastructure and information provider, and Chainlink Labs, the leading Web3 services platform, today announced that TP ICAP has joined the Chainlink Network to bring high-quality forex data to the blockchain ecosystem, with the ability to support 960+ pairs.
