Which is possible with access to premium market data from Two Sigma Securities.
For Two Sigma Securities, this is an opportunity to make a fundamental contribution to building a new decentralized financial market infrastructure. It will also enable building risk management applications on any blockchain or layer 2 network. According to Chainlink’s Head of Data Products, Yaser Jazouane, performing in-depth quantitative expertise is fundamental. This, in order to produce highly accurate price data for the long-term growth of the DeFi ecosystem.
