The way institutions access market data is about to change forever. Traditionally, institutional traders and finance firms have been stuck paying sky-high fees for fragmented, delayed, and opaque market data. @Pyth Network is flipping that model on its head with Phase 2 of its roadmap: offering real-time, high-quality data directly to institutions via a simple subscription service.
Here’s the big idea: instead of relying on slow, costly legacy systems, institutions can now subscribe to Pyth’s data feeds, paying in USD, stablecoins, or $PYTH tokens. This gives them direct access to the same trusted, cryptographically verifiable price data that powers thousands of DeFi apps — but optimized for traditional finance.
What makes this exciting?
Pyth’s subscription model channels 60% of the revenue back into the Pyth DAO, meaning the community of contributors, data providers, and validators all benefit. Plus, by building a distributor network to handle billing and client relationships, Pyth keeps the process simple and transparent, while maintaining full support for DeFi users.
Already a market leader in crypto price feeds, Pyth has processed over $1.6 trillion in transaction volume, supports 1,800+ price feeds, and powers 600+ integrations across 100+ blockchains. Their recent collaboration with the U.S. Department of Commerce to put economic data onchain only reinforces their role as the go-to source for reliable, real-time data.
What’s next?
Phase 3 will turbocharge Pyth’s global reach by adding thousands more symbols and introducing advanced on-chain features like randomness and slashing mechanisms — all while continuing to serve both institutional and DeFi markets.
In short, Pyth is tearing down the old pay-to-access model and replacing it with open, fair, and lightning-fast price data for everyone. For institutions, this means cheaper, faster, and more trustworthy data feeds. For the broader financial system, it’s a step toward truly transparent, efficient markets.
