Largest cryptocurrency platform in Latin America will initially price core crypto assets with plans to expand into FX and equities
Bitso, the largest cryptocurrency platform in Latin America with over 2.5 million users, today announced that it has begun publishing cryptocurrency prices to the Pyth Network, a decentralized financial market data distribution platform designed to bring real-world data on-chain on a sub-second timescale.
Further improvements in decentralized finance (DeFi) require high-fidelity, time-sensitive, real-world data, which requires unlocking data that’s typically kept behind the “walled gardens’’ of centralized institutions. The Pyth network leverages the fast-moving Solana blockchain to solve this problem by publishing pricing data directly on the blockchain to establish greater transparency, security, fairness, and efficiency in the markets.
