Oracle

Oracles are essential infrastructure components that feed real-time, off-chain data (such as price feeds, weather, or sports results) into blockchain smart contracts. Without decentralized oracles like Chainlink and Pyth, DeFi could not function. In 2026, oracles have evolved to support verifiable randomness and cross-chain data synchronization. This tag covers the technical evolution of data availability, tamper-proof price feeds, and the critical role oracles play in ensuring the deterministic execution of complex decentralized applications.

Chainlink’s $64M Grayscale ETF debut hides private banking loophole threatening to sever link between usage and price

Chainlink’s $64M Grayscale ETF debut hides private banking loophole threatening to sever link between usage and price

The post Chainlink’s $64M Grayscale ETF debut hides private banking loophole threatening to sever link between usage and price appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Grayscale’s conversion of its legacy Chainlink trust into the GLNK exchange-traded product on Dec. 2 did more than simply add another ticker to the NYSE Arca board. With roughly $13 million in day-one trading volume, $41 million in immediate inflows, and assets climbing to approximately $64 million within the first 48 hours, GLNK entered the market distinct from the speculative alt-coin listings that characterized much of the previous cycle. Grayscale Chainlink ETF Daily Inflows Since Launch on Dec. 2 (Source: SoSo Value) Instead, it arrived as the first US financial product offering direct exposure to the Oracle infrastructure layer. This layer functions as the digital plumbing required to make blockchain networks usable for real-world finance. However, beneath the strong headline flows a complex wager. By packaging a utility token into a regulated equity wrapper, Grayscale has forced institutional investors to confront a difficult question: Does the inevitable growth of tokenized finance actually necessitate an increase in the price of the LINK token? GLNK is structured under NYSE Arca Rule 8.201-E as a physically backed commodity product, holding LINK as its sole asset. It debuted with a temporary 0% fee, which is a standard seeding mechanism for this year’s ETF launches, before a scheduled shift to 0.35% once the vehicle reaches early March or $1 billion in assets. This aggressive pricing strategy, undercutting legacy trusts that often charged upward of 2 percent, positions the product to attract allocators who view blockchain not as a casino, but as a software upgrade for global markets. The tokenization thesis GLNK’s launch came at a time when tokenization had transitioned from a back-end experiment to a boardroom priority. A recent op-ed by BlackRock’s Larry Fink and Rob Goldstein in The Economist framed tokenized settlement as the inevitable next evolution in market infrastructure. This aligns with…

The pandemic boosted the RV business, as customers sought a travel option while remaining isolated from crowds. The company can produce some 100 recreational vehicles a year in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which are sold across Europe, the U.S. and the Middle East with a starting price of about $73,000. Derubis is finishing construction of a second RV production facility and shipyard in Saudi Arabia.

This $0.035 DeFi Crypto Could Rally 800% Based on New V1 Models, Analysts Weigh in

This $0.035 DeFi Crypto Could Rally 800% Based on New V1 Models, Analysts Weigh in

The post This $0.035 DeFi Crypto Could Rally 800% Based on New V1 Models, Analysts Weigh in appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The other new group of forecasting models has shot a growing DeFi altcoin into the limelight. Fresh V1 projections currently pegged at $0.035 means that the current projection could increase to 800% on a continuation of development and user activity, assuming accelerated growth. The traders monitoring the best crypto activities suggest that this token could be undergoing an identical early structure that has driven a number of significant break outs in previous cycles. The Basics of Mutuum Finance (MUTM) The project of the lending system by Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is based on two linking markets. Within the Peer to Contract setting, funds are deposited by the users as assets (either ETH or USDT for example) and minted to them as mtTokens. These mtTokens increase in value with paid interest by borrowers. By way of illustration, where one provides $1000 in ETH, his or her mtTokens would increase with every repayment, which forms an automatic APY linked to actual use. The borrowers in the Peer to Peer system are getting strainable interest rates which are determined by liquidity. Borrowing costs remain low when there is high liquidity. When cash becomes constrained, there is an increase in rates. It is also provided through loan-to-value rules which safeguard the borrowers to ensure stabilization of the system. In case collateral is too low, liquidations are done. Legal representatives debar one of the debts and buy collateral at a discount. The presale of Mutuum Finance entered the market at the start of 2025 at a price of $0.01. The token is currently at $0.035 or a 250% upsurge. The project has raised up to $19.1 million, over 18,300 holders, and over 810 million of the sold tokens.  V1 Launch and Audits The next biggest achievement will be the Mutuum Finance V1 testnet, which the team…

Will Cardano price rally ahead of Midnight (NIGHT) launch

Will Cardano price rally ahead of Midnight (NIGHT) launch

The post Will Cardano price rally ahead of Midnight (NIGHT) launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cardano’s price rally stalled today, Dec. 4, even after developers launched the NIGHT token ahead of the closely watched Midnight launch. Summary Cardano price remained in a tight range after the NIGHT token launch. NIGHT has become the first Cardano Native Asset. The launch came ahead of the Midnight mainnet launch. Cardano (ADA) token was trading at $0.4475, up modestly from this month’s low of $0.3713. According to crypto.news, the token has a market capitalization of over $16 billion. In a statement, the Midnight Foundation said that it had launched the NIGHT token, which has now become the first Cardano Native Asset. The foundation expects that the launch will provide immediate liquidity while the team continues building. The next important stage will be the Midnight launch, which will happen next week, creating the first zero-knowledge sidechain on Cardano. Once this happens, NIGHT’s total supply will be mirrored at the Midnight ledger, and Glacier airdrop participants will be able to redeem their tokens. Charles Hoskinson, Cardano’s founder, believes that Midnight will help to scale the network and boost its stablecoin supply and its decentralized finance assets.  Midnight is one of the several approaches that Hoskinson and the team are working on. Last week, they launched a proposal to use 70 million ADA tokens from the treasury to build and improve the ecosystem. The funds will be used to boost stablecoin supply, attract quality oracle providers like Chainlink, and improve its analytics. At the same time, the developers are working on Leios, a major redesign of the consensus protocol that aims at boosting scalability and transaction throughput. It will do that by introducing the concept of parallel processing. Another possible catalyst for Cardano price is that Grayscale may decide to launch its ADA ETF later this month of in early 2026, a…

Scarlett Johansson’s Potential Role In ‘The Batman Part II’ Is Baffling

Scarlett Johansson’s Potential Role In ‘The Batman Part II’ Is Baffling

The post Scarlett Johansson’s Potential Role In ‘The Batman Part II’ Is Baffling appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Information About The Batman Part II has been painfully scarce, with a lengthy delay finally producing a release date of October 1, 2027, barring any further delays. But we know next to nothing about the plot, only that it takes place just a short while after the events of The Penguin. Now, we have a big update. All the trades are reporting that Scarlett Johansson is in talks to join The Batman 2, the ultra A-lister on a great run of films, including leading a new Jurassic Park era and starring in Mike Flanagan’s The Exorcist film. Now, after a long stint at Marvel as Black Widow, she could be heading to DC for this Batman part. But…what part? One thing all the reports do not cover are what role she’s going to play. Adjacent to this, there is word that Zoe Kravitz will not be returning as Catwoman in the sequel, which isn’t the biggest of shocks, I suppose. A report from insider Jeff Sneider says Johansson “could very well” be a love interest for Bruce, but he’s heard that she’ll end up being a villain. Where to even start? Poison Ivy – This news keeps being covered using Black Widow-era pictures of Johansson with red hair. Poison Ivy is close to tied as the highest profile female Batman villain right alongside Catwoman and Harley Quinn, but this seems unlikely, as she’s not going to be a “secret” villain in that role, and Poison Ivy does not feel like she would fit into the “grounded” world of The Batman without a total overhaul of her character. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Rocksteady Harley Quinn – I don’t buy it. The DCEU just finished a lengthy run with Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, and that character seems like she’s…
