Reddit and Intercontinental Exchange have announced a strategic partnership to develop new data and analytics products for the financial industry. The collaboration aims to integrate Reddit's extensive user discussions with Intercontinental Exchange's advanced data science and machine learning capabilities.
The initiative will analyze Reddit's 16 billion+ posts and comments to create innovative tools for the financial sector. These tools will be designed to enhance various financial activities including:

This partnership will provide financial professionals and organizations with improved access to Reddit's vast content repository, enabling more informed investment decisions and risk management strategies.
