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 LINK Rallies 12% to New 2025 High Amid Token Buyback, Broader Crypto Rally

Chainlink's LINK Rallies 12% to New 2025 High Amid Token Buyback, Broader Crypto Rally

The post Chainlink's LINK Rallies 12% to New 2025 High Amid Token Buyback, Broader Crypto Rally appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Oracle network Chainlink's (LINK) native token sharply rebounded with the broader crypto market following Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's dovish remarks in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. LINK rallied 12% over the past 24 hours, hitting $27.8, its strongest price since December. Bitcoin (BTC) appreciated 3.5% during the same period, while the broad-market CoinDesk 20 index jumped 6.5%. In protocol-specific news, Chainlink obtained two major security certifications this week: ISO 27001 and a SOC 2 Type 1 attestation, marking a first for a blockchain oracle platform. The audits, carried out by Deloitte, covered Chainlink’s price feeds, proof-of-reserve services and the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). The oracle provider says the move strengthens trust in its data services and can bolster adoption among banks, asset issuers and decentralized finance protocols. Further supporting the rally, the Chainlink Reserve, which periodically purchases LINK tokens on the open market using protocol revenues, bought 41,000 tokens on Thursday, worth roughly $1 million at that time. That brought total holdings to 150,778 tokens, around $4.1 million at current prices. Technical analysis Support Levels: Substantial defense established at $24.15 with high-volume confirmation, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data. Resistance Penetration: Systematic advancement through $25.00, $25.50, and $26.00 levels with volume validation from institutional participants. Trading Volume Analysis: Exceptional 12.84 million volume surge during breakout phase, representing five times the 24-hour average of 2.44 million units. Consolidation Patterns: Extended tight range consolidation around $24.70-$25.10 preceding explosive institutional-driven breakout. Momentum Indicators: Sustained upward trajectory with measured advance characteristics and institutional accumulation signals from corporate treasury operations.

Aave Expands to Aptos in First Move Off Ethereum

The post Aave Expands to Aptos in First Move Off Ethereum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Decentralized lending giant Aave has deployed on the Aptos blockchain, its first expansion beyond Ethereum-compatible networks Decentralized lending giant Aave has deployed on the Aptos blockchain, its first expansion beyond Ethereum-compatible networks. The move required rewriting the protocol in the Move programming language and gives Aptos users access to Aave’s market, which manages about $70 billion in deposits across chains. To accelerate adoption, the Aptos Foundation is funding liquidity rewards for depositors and borrowers. Demand proved brisk: initial supply caps were reached in less than a day, prompting the protocol’s governance to lift limits to $1 million per asset. The Aptos rollout integrates Chainlink price-feed oracles to secure collateral valuations, extending a collaboration that already underpins Aave’s markets on other chains. The launch underscores both Aave’s strategy to diversify beyond Ethereum infrastructure and Aptos’s push to attract flagship decentralized-finance applications.

State Street and JP Morgan Complete First Transaction on RWA Debt Platform

The post State Street and JP Morgan Complete First Transaction on RWA Debt Platform appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. State Street, an asset manager and custodian bank serving institutional clients, has joined financial services company JPMorgan’s tokenized debt platform as its first third-party custodian, allowing it to hold blockchain-based debt securities on behalf of investors. JP Morgan’s Digital Debt Service platform allows institutional clients to trade and settle tokenized debt instruments, which are securities issued on a blockchain that represent government or corporate bonds.  The asset manager purchased $100 million in tokenized commercial debt from the Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC), one of the oldest banks in Southeast Asia, in the platform’s inaugural transaction, according to Thursday’s announcement. Source: State Street State Street, founded in 1792, is one of the “Big Three” asset managers, alongside BlackRock and Vanguard, with over $49 trillion in assets under custody, and an additional $5.1 trillion in assets under management.  The asset manager extending custody services to tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) showcases the growth of the emerging sector and signals a milestone as more established financial institutions interact with the digital economy. Related: Citigroup, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs lead TradFi’s blockchain charge: Ripple JP Morgan leans into tokenized RWAs as sector records triple-digit growth JP Morgan launched Onyx, a suite of blockchain-based services and technologies, in 2020.

Oracle provider Chainlink announced a partnership with Kinexys in May to help develop payment infrastructure for settling tokenized RWA transactions between financial institutions.  In June, Kinexys, Chainlink and RWA platform Ondo Finance completed a crosschain transfer of Ondo’s OUSG tokenized Short-Term US Treasurys Fund in June, moving the digital asset between Ondo’s layer-1 testnet to the Kinexys permissioned chain. Chainlink founder Sergey Nazarov told Cointelegraph that tokenizing assets onchain increases capital velocity in the economy and also bolsters the entire crypto ecosystem by locking value onchain.…
