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.

Elon Musk becomes world’s first $500 billion man, now richer than Larry Ellison by $150 billion

Elon Musk becomes world’s first $500 billion man, now richer than Larry Ellison by $150 billion

The post Elon Musk becomes world’s first $500 billion man, now richer than Larry Ellison by $150 billion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Elon Musk officially became the first person in history to hit a $500 billion net worth on Wednesday, beating out every other billionaire alive. The number was confirmed at 3:30 p.m. Eastern by Forbes’ Real-Time Billionaires tracker, making Elon $150 billion richer than Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, who now sits in second place after temporarily beating the ‘DogeFather’ just a few weeks ago, as Cryptopolitan reported. This record comes less than a year after Elon passed the $400 billion line in December, making this a new all-time high for personal wealth, and putting him halfway toward becoming the world’s first trillionaire. This happened after Tesla’s stock surged by nearly 4% the same day. That one-day surge added about $9.3 billion to Elon’s fortune. Back in April, Elon told investors on Tesla’s earnings call that he would step down from his government position under President Donald Trump to refocus on Tesla. He had been serving as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Since then, Tesla stock has nearly doubled in value, bringing the company’s total market cap to within 10% of its highest-ever valuation. As of now, Elon’s 12% stake in Tesla is valued at $191 billion, and it doesn’t even include the massive performance-based stock options package from 2018, which would be worth another $133 billion today, but sadly, a Delaware judge voided the award last year. Elon has appealed the decision to the Delaware Supreme Court, though, and while the case plays out, Forbes is discounting that part of his wealth by 50%. Tesla board proposes $1 trillion pay package amid court appeal While the 2018 stock grant remains stuck in legal limbo, Tesla’s board of directors introduced a new pay plan for Elon in September. This proposed package could give him stock worth up to $1…

Chainlink Brings Deutsche Börse Market Data On-Chain

Chainlink Brings Deutsche Börse Market Data On-Chain

The post Chainlink Brings Deutsche Börse Market Data On-Chain appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Blockchain Chainlink has secured one of its most significant wins yet by bringing Deutsche Börse’s institutional market data onto blockchain rails. The German exchange operator, which oversees some of Europe’s largest trading venues, will now feed information from Eurex, Xetra, 360T, and Tradegate directly to decentralized networks. The collaboration allows financial data long confined to traditional platforms to circulate inside DeFi ecosystems, where it can power tokenized products, settlement mechanisms, and risk management tools. Instead of installing new infrastructure, Deutsche Börse can rely on Chainlink’s oracles to push data securely to multiple blockchains. The scale of the integration is substantial: Deutsche Börse processes over €1.3 trillion in trades annually and generates billions of real-time data points. Those streams will now be accessible to thousands of protocols already connected to Chainlink, potentially accelerating the growth of decentralized finance with the same feeds used by global banks. For Chainlink, the deal builds on a string of high-profile partnerships. SWIFT and UBS have previously worked with the oracle network to test tokenized asset settlement, and in the U.S., the Commerce Department is preparing to release official macroeconomic statistics such as GDP and inflation through Chainlink and other providers. By blending Europe’s most trusted market data with decentralized infrastructure, Deutsche Börse and Chainlink are laying the groundwork for a future where traditional finance and blockchain applications run on the same trusted information.

Gaming Worlds Could Be The Answer To AI’s Data Problem

Gaming Worlds Could Be The Answer To AI’s Data Problem

The post Gaming Worlds Could Be The Answer To AI’s Data Problem appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Welcome back to The Prompt. Stanford PhDs Fan-Yun Sun and Sharon Lee cofounded AI research company Moonlake AI to help people “vibe code virtual worlds.” Moonlake AI Artificial intelligence is facing an existential crisis. Powerful AI models are gated by the quality of data they’re trained on. But even after scraping the internet for all its public data, paying some of the most intelligent humans to label and annotate data and generating troves of synthetic data, frontier labs are coming up short on data to improve model performance. And so the question remains— where will the data for the next major advancement in AI come from? Two former Stanford PhD students, Sharon Lee and Fan-Yun Sun, are trying to answer that question at their new startup, Moonlake AI. The pair are developing AI software that can quickly create visual simulation environments and “interactive 3D worlds” that might serve as the bedrock to create data for reasoning models— systems that carry out multiple steps to solve complex problems. The idea is that the tool will organically be used by people to generate 3D worlds for gaming, animation, filmmaking or even for education, which in turn would create data that can be used to train more advanced models, said cofounder Sun, who previously worked as a researcher at Nvidia, building virtual worlds to train and evaluate robots. “We know that data is very scarce right now,” Lee said. “And we believe these large scale interactive worlds are the next paradigm that allows you to scale the data infinitely.” Coming out of stealth today, Moonlake AI has raised $28 million in seed funding from AIX Ventures, Nvidia Ventures and Threshold Ventures. Lee said the program could also be used by AI researchers in fields like robotics to create digital simulations and verify if…

Leon Cooperman says we’ve reached the stage of the bull market that Warren Buffett warned about

The post Leon Cooperman says we’ve reached the stage of the bull market that Warren Buffett warned about appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Longtime investor Leon Cooperman believes we are in the late innings of a bull market where bubbles can form and risks rise, a stage of the cycle that Warren Buffett had warned about. The chair and CEO of the Omega Family Office read a quote from the “Oracle of Omaha” on CNBC’s “Money Movers” Wednesday, which he said fits neatly with what he’s seeing right now. “Once a bull market gets under way, and once you reach the point where everybody has made money no matter what system he or she followed, a crowd is attracted into the game that is responding not to interest rates and profits but simply to the fact that it seems a mistake to be out of stocks,” Buffett said in 1999, according to a Fortune Magazine article. Buffett believes bull markets often end not only when valuations are stretched, but also when there is irrational exuberance and when the rally is fueled by momentum. “It’s what’s going on now,” Cooperman said, adding that investors’ mood is very similar and valuation on artificial intelligence companies is “ridiculously high.” The S&P 500 has surged almost 40% since its April lows, returning to all-time highs. The rally has been led by mega-cap tech giants, which have invested billions in artificial intelligence and are being valued richly on the potential of this emerging era. Zoom In IconArrows pointing outwards The famous Buffett Indicator — the ratio of total U.S. stock market value to GDP — is also flashing one of the clearest signs of market exuberance. The gauge is sitting at record highs well above the peaks reached during the Dotcom Bubble as well as the pandemic-era rally in 2021, suggesting equity prices are running far ahead of the underlying economy. At 217%, it’s also beyond the level…

Why is Cardano (ADA) Price Crashing? Analysts Note Interesting Rotation Toward Cheaper Crypto at $0.035 and With Better Tech

Why is Cardano (ADA) Price Crashing? Analysts Note Interesting Rotation Toward Cheaper Crypto at $0.035 and With Better Tech

Cardano (ADA) is under more selling pressure, with massive whale outflows and waning ecosystem traction driving it lower. This decline is less to do with Cardano (ADA) specifically, and more to do with the growing demand for far more advanced competition which is Mutuum Finance (MUTM).  Currently priced at a mere $0.035 in phase 6 […]
