To get live data from ICE--the exchange that withdrew the request--I'm currently paying a broker $120/month.
By comparison, just about every crypto exchange currently offers push feeds and historical data for free. In most cases you don't even need to sign in.
In some sense this is a measure of the immaturity of crypto markets.
But it's also a reminder that with main institutional players moving in, the barriers to entry will go way up.
We'll probably start to see more brokers and vendors and more consolidation/buyouts of the crypto exchanges.
