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.

BlockDAG, Shiba Inu, Cardano & Chainlink Dominate 2025 Buzz

The post BlockDAG, Shiba Inu, Cardano & Chainlink Dominate 2025 Buzz appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Discover the best cryptos to watch now as BlockDAG raises $396M and outpaces Shiba Inu, Cardano, and Chainlink with adoption and momentum. The crypto market in 2025 is firing on all cylinders, with some networks racing ahead on adoption while others lean on their communities or institutional backing. Traders aren’t just hunting hype anymore; they’re chasing projects with staying power, smart strategies, and clear signs of growth. If you’re scanning for the best cryptos to watch now, four names are standing tall: BlockDAG, Shiba Inu, Cardano, and Chainlink. Each has its own playbook, from viral presale momentum to whale-driven accumulation. Together, they’re shaping the year’s biggest conversations and pointing to where real gains could come from next. 1. BlockDAG: Viral Mining Meets $396M Presale Success BlockDAG is rewriting the script for presales in 2025. Its unique blend of Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) scalability and Proof-of-Work (PoW) security makes it both fast and reliable, while full EVM compatibility ensures developers can deploy smart contracts with zero friction. Add in a successful CertiK audit and a transparent leadership team, and BlockDAG is already ticking boxes most projects can’t match before launch. The numbers prove it. BlockDAG has raised $396 million, sold 25.9 billion BDAG coins, and booked $7.86 million in miner sales, with 19,516 units already gone. BDAG has seen a jaw-dropping 2,900% climb since batch 1. However, for a limited time, a special presale price of $0.0013 per BDAG has been rolled out in celebration of BlockDAG’s upcoming Singapore Deployment Event. What’s powering its viral momentum is adoption. The X1 Miner App has over 3 million people mining BDAG on their smartphones daily. Dashboard V4 makes the presale feel like a live trading hub, showing charts, balances, and order books, while gamified Buyer Battles award bonus coins to top…

Crypto Oracle Firm RedStone Acquires DeFi Credit Specialist Credora

Crypto Oracle Firm RedStone Acquires DeFi Credit Specialist Credora

The post Crypto Oracle Firm RedStone Acquires DeFi Credit Specialist Credora appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. RedStone, a provider of oracle data feeds for blockchains, is buying Credora, an on-chain credit rating platform backed by Coinbase Ventures, S&P, and Hashkey, among others. The financial terms of the deal were not revealed. The oracle-powered risk rating framework for assets and yield strategies focused on decentralized finance (DeFi) will operate under the new brand Credora by RedStone, the companies said in a press release on Thursday. Data shows that the growth of rated DeFi strategies (i.e., Morpho Vaults) outpaces unrated strategies by as much as 25%, validating user utility, RedStone pointed out. The acquisition aims to do for decentralized markets what the likes of S&P and Moody’s do in traditional markets, RedStone said. “Ratings are a natural extension of our services: we gather and deliver data on-chain, and transparent ratings transform it into actionable intelligence,” said Marcin Kazmierczak, co-founder of RedStone. “As DeFi yield strategies grow more complex, users need a simple way to navigate beyond headline APYs. Ratings provide that clarity. This is a foundational step towards making DeFi safer and ready for institutional scale,” he said. Credora’s co-founders, Darshan Vaidya and Matt Ficke, join RedStone as strategic advisors, assisting with integration and adoption. “Another crucial point is that RedStone has been growing in the RWA and tokenization space where a lot of risks are not obvious to quantify, i.e. with tokenized private credit or tokenized stocks,” Kazmierczak added. “We will be working to help investors and DeFi actors to navigate that space with our ratings that will be a great supportive tool for institutions like banks going into crypto,” he noted.

Novogratz Backs AI Agents, DeepSnitch AI Rockets

Novogratz Backs AI Agents, DeepSnitch AI Rockets

The post Novogratz Backs AI Agents, DeepSnitch AI Rockets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz, in a recent interview with Bloomberg, predicted that AI agents will soon become the biggest users of stablecoins. Many consider this an interesting perspective, but most importantly, it creates a shift in how many expect the crypto economy to change, with stablecoins not just serving humans but entire AI systems. That backdrop makes the current market conversation around the best AI crypto to buy now even more urgent. Newer projects are emerging with better narratives for the coming wave of AI adoption. Among them, DeepSnitch AI is becoming one of the best AI presale tokens of 2025. Its focus on real-world trading utility and retail protection stands out in a market where many AI tokens still pitch abstract future promises. Novogratz on AI and stablecoins  In his interview, Mike Novogratz outlined a vision where AI agents move beyond simple chat interfaces into autonomous financial actors. He suggested that in just a few years, the most active stablecoin users won’t be people but AI agents.  In essence, these agents will handle transactions on behalf of their human counterparts. Imagine an AI that knows your grocery preferences, monitors your diet, and automatically executes purchases. They would do all this without requiring you to log into an app or swipe a card. Instead of sending traditional wire instructions or using consumer apps like Venmo, these agents would default to stablecoins. This forecast is especially relevant as both the US and Europe are tightening regulatory frameworks for stablecoins. In Washington, lawmakers recently advanced the GENIUS Act to establish oversight for dollar-backed tokens. Meanwhile, in Europe, European Central Bank president Christine Lagarde has urged caution around non-EU stablecoins operating within the bloc.  But the bottom line is simple: if Novogratz is right, the increase in stablecoin transactions will be led…
