Bloomberg and Kaiko Bring Licensed Financial Data Onchain to Power Tokenised Markets
- Bloomberg and Kaiko will deliver licensed financial reference data directly into blockchain-based markets.
- The rollout targets tokenised US Treasurys and repo workflows on an institutional-grade network.
- The initiative aims to reduce reconciliation risk by embedding a single authorised dataset on-chain.
Bloomberg is partnering with Paris-based digital asset data firm Kaiko to make its licensed financial datasets available directly on blockchain infrastructure, beginning with tokenised US Treasurys and repo markets on the Canton Network. The initiative seeks to transition Bloomberg’s Data License products from traditional off-chain databases into on-chain environments through Kaiko’s infrastructure.
The companies said fragmented and inconsistent data sources have created operational friction in tokenised markets, where differences in pricing inputs, identifiers and reference information can lead to reconciliation disputes and inefficiencies. By embedding a single licensed dataset on-chain, counterparties will be able to reference one verifiable source, reducing ambiguity and supporting greater automation.

The Canton Network Rollout
The first deployment will focus on tokenised US Treasurys and repurchase agreement workflows operating on the Canton Network, a privacy-enabled, interoperable blockchain built for institutional finance. Kaiko’s data on-ramp service, launched on the network in August 2025, will be used to write off-chain market data on-chain while preserving intellectual property ownership, licensing compliance and auditability.
Access controls are designed so that only entitled participants can retrieve Bloomberg data, in line with established licensing frameworks. Bloomberg Data License content, including security master data and evaluated pricing, will be accessible on-chain to authorised users.
Emilie Gallagher, Global Head of Commodities and FX at Bloomberg, said institutional clients increasingly expect trusted Bloomberg data to be available on-chain and that the collaboration reflects a commitment to maintaining quality, governance and entitlement standards in new environments. Kaiko CEO Ambre Soubiran said extending institutional-grade valuation data on-chain supports the next generation of tokenised securities infrastructure.
