Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) has secured a contract with Dev Information Technology, a move signaling continued consolidation in the market data supply chain. The agreement, announced by the Italian-American Association of Government (ITAAG) on January 16, 2026, underscores the critical role of data providers like ICE, FactSet, Quarter, and TradingView in the financial ecosystem.
Market data is fundamental to investment decisions, and the contract between ICE and Dev Information Technology highlights the ongoing demand for reliable and accessible financial information. ICE Data Services functions as a primary source, providing the underlying market numbers utilized across the industry. FactSet Research Systems Inc. Then refines this raw data, adding historical analysis and identification numbers – specifically CUSIPs – for securities.
The agreement comes as copyright and data provision notices are undergoing revisions, reflecting a more complex information landscape, according to an internal review conducted by memesita.com. These updates, dated January 15, 2026, are not merely procedural; they indicate a maturing market where understanding data origins and licensing is increasingly important.
TradingView also plays a significant role, as evidenced by its provision of Level 2 data, which offers a detailed view of the market order book, including bid and ask prices at multiple levels and contract availability. This data assists in analyzing market depth and identifying potential support and resistance zones. The SEC filings and regulatory documents necessary for comprehensive analysis are provided by Quarter.
FactSet’s offerings extend beyond fundamental data to include benchmarks and indices, aiming to streamline data management for stakeholders. The company also provides FactSet Fundamentals, a database of financial statement information with historical data covering 17+ years across 120 countries. FactSet datasets are accessible through ICE’s API and bulk file services, facilitating integration into trading, risk management, and analytics systems. Copyright for this data is held by FactSet Research Systems Inc. As of 2026.
The American Bankers Association also holds copyright related to data provision as of 2026. As of January 16, 2026, neither ICE Data Services, FactSet, Quarter, nor TradingView have issued public statements regarding the implications of the Dev Information Technology contract beyond the initial announcement from ITAAG.
