Microsoft is deepening its push into Web3 by teaming up with blockchain analytics firm Space and Time (SXT), bringing real-time crypto data to its AI-driven Fabric platform.
This collaboration marks the first time Microsoft’s data infrastructure will stream live information from networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum, enabling developers to tap into on-chain activity without relying on external tools.
Space and Time will act as the backbone for blockchain data within Microsoft Fabric, creating a new bridge between Web2 enterprise environments and decentralized systems.
Sruly Taber, Head of Product for Microsoft Fabric, called the integration a leap forward in making blockchain data accessible and actionable across industries. “This supports our broader goal of democratizing innovation and giving developers the tools to build smarter, faster,” he said in a statement.
Nate Holiday, CEO of Space and Time, noted that the integration simplifies how businesses—including major banks—can harness blockchain insights directly within their existing workflows.
Following the announcement, SXT’s token saw a price uptick. Microsoft’s venture arm, M12, had previously backed the project in a strategic 2022 funding round, signaling early confidence in its vision.
