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.

21Shares ETPs Signal Institutional Shift

21Shares ETPs Signal Institutional Shift

The post 21Shares ETPs Signal Institutional Shift appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto Presales Best new crypto to buy as 21Shares launches six new crypto ETPs in Europe. Top crypto picks, including DeepSnitch AI, Ethena, and Jupiter for smart traders. 21Shares just leveled up the institutional game by cross-listing six new crypto ETPs on Nasdaq Stockholm, including big names like Aave, Cardano, Chainlink, and Polkadot. With nearly $8 billion under management, they’re not messing around. They now have 16 crypto investment products on that exchange alone, which shows how seriously traditional finance is leaning into crypto. In a market like this, the best new crypto to buy right now is the one riding three powerful trends: institutional backing through ETPs, real-world utility that actually matters, and early-stage pricing that hasn’t priced in what’s coming. DeepSnitch AI, Ethena, and Jupiter check all three boxes. These are not speculative lottery tickets. They’re tokens positioned for major adoption, with altcoins analysts expect to surge once the next wave hits. Why 21Shares’ ETP expansion is the signal you cannot ignore 21Shares manages $8 billion in crypto assets globally, with roughly half of that in US ETFs issued through their partnership with Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest. When they decide to expand product offerings in Europe specifically, that is a tell. The expansion came right after they launched a Solana ETF, which adds context. They are building exposure across the DeFi stack methodically. Aave for lending, Chainlink for oracles, Cardano and Polkadot for smart contract infrastructure, plus basket products for diversified exposure. This creates an asymmetric opportunity. The best new crypto to buy is the assets that will benefit from this institutional wave before the products actually launch and the capital is deployed. You want to be positioned ahead of the flow, not chasing it after ETPs drive prices up 50% or more. 3 Best new crypto to…

This New Crypto Could Be the Next 30x Breakout Under $0.05, Experts Explain

This New Crypto Could Be the Next 30x Breakout Under $0.05, Experts Explain

The post This New Crypto Could Be the Next 30x Breakout Under $0.05, Experts Explain appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. There is a growing movement of interest around one fast-mover crypto that is under a price of $0.05. This token is still moving forward, and its presale continues to accelerate in a market where it is becoming challenging to disregard the larger market. There is a belief that this setup has the potential of creating a significant breakout as soon as the token is launched. Some of the first investors are pre-positioning. The issue now is whether or not this new DeFi crypto project has the required strength to emerge as one of the strongest performers of the following stage of the market. Mutuum Finance (MUTM)  Mutuum Finance is in presale but the demand is increasing at a rate much higher as compared to expectations. The current stage of the token prices is at $0.035. The project has already garnered over $18 million and it has over 18,000 holders. Phase 6 is near full allocation of more than 90% already occupied and the interest is gaining speed with every passing day. The pre-sale system is evident. Stages have a predetermined amount of tokens, and every one of them sells out at a higher price. The launch price which is set at $0.06 will see a lot of investors seizing the opportunity to enter at a lower level before the official launch. Its flow of funds to MUTM has been steady and it is among the quickest selling presales of below $0.05. This is a consistent demand that arouses the sense of urgency. Investors become aware of the fact that they are fighting over a limited token and that is shown by the increase in the number of holders. With the distribution only dwindling, a large number of people anticipate that the remaining Phase 6 stock will dwindle more. What Mutuum…

Macro Bloomberg: The United States launches an investigation into Bitmain due to national security concerns. According to Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the matter, Bitcoin mining hardware maker Bitmain is under investigation for several months to assess whether its products pose a risk to U.S. national security. The investigation, codenamed "Operation Red Sunset," is being led by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Specifically, it focuses on assessing whether the company's machines could be remotely controlled for espionage or used to disrupt the U.S. power grid. The investigation has included examining the chips and firmware of Bitmain machines docked at U.S. ports, and investigators have also reviewed potential tariff and import tax violations. Bitmain responded that it "strictly complies with U.S. and applicable laws and regulations and has never engaged in any activities that pose a risk to U.S. national security," and stated that claims regarding its ability to remotely control devices are "absolutely unfounded." The company added that it is unaware of any investigation called "Operation Red Sunset" or any investigations concerning tariffs and other import duties, and attributed past device seizures to routine inspections by the Federal Communications Commission, stating that "no abnormalities were found."

The UK's crackdown on Russian sanctions circumvention resulted in the arrest of 128 people and the seizure of $32.6 million in cryptocurrency and cash. According to Decrypt, the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) has disclosed that a UK-led operation to combat Russian sanctions evasion has resulted in the arrest of 128 people and the seizure of $32.6 million worth of cryptocurrency and cash. The operation, dubbed "Operation Destabilise," was first announced in 2024 and had arrested 84 people and seized $25.5 million by December of last year. However, the latest NCA data shows that the operation has also arrested 45 more people suspected of money laundering and seized over $6.6 million in cash. The probability of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by 25 basis points in December has risen to 69.4%. According to CME's "FedWatch," the probability of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by 25 basis points in December has risen to 69.4%, while the probability of keeping rates unchanged is 30.6%.

Opinion Tom Lee still maintains that Bitcoin will reach $150,000 to $200,000 by the end of January next year. According to Bloomberg, despite the recent accelerated decline in the crypto market, Fundstrat co-founder and BitMine chairman Tom Lee still believes Bitcoin will reach $150,000-$200,000 by the end of January next year. He believes the long-term power of retail investors will continue to drive the market higher. He stated that those who failed to maintain a bullish view over the past decade "have consistently been wrong." It is worth noting that Tom Lee made a similar assessment in September during the Impact Summit at Korea Blockchain Week 2025, when he predicted that Bitcoin would reach $200,000-$250,000 by the end of the year, and Ethereum would target $10,000-$12,000. Jefferies report: Tether becomes a major new buyer of gold, driving the recent surge in gold prices. Investment bank Jefferies said on Thursday that Tether is a major new buyer of gold and a primary driver of the recent gold price surge, with traditional factors no longer being the main drivers. The report revealed that verification data and on-chain activity show that Tether has accumulated a large amount of gold in recent months, tightening the gold supply and fueling the surge in precious metal prices. Investors told Jefferies that Tether plans to purchase approximately 100 tons of gold this year, and its CEO, Paolo Ardoino, has publicly stated that the company will increase its gold reserves and expects gold prices to soar to $1,000 per ounce. According to a team of analysts led by Andrew Moss, Tether held approximately 116 tons of gold as of the end of the third quarter. They also revealed that the company had 12 tons of gold backing its XAUt token (worth approximately $1.57 billion) and another 104 tons backing its stablecoin USDT (worth approximately $13.67 billion). Jefferies points out that Tether continues to increase its gold accumulation efforts, adding approximately 26 tons in the third quarter alone, representing about 2% of global gold demand in that quarter. With business expansion, gold is expected to account for about 7% of its reserves. If half of Ardoino's projected $1.5 billion profit by 2025 were invested in gold, it could add nearly 60 tons annually. Analysis: BTC losses have surged to their highest level since the FTX crash. Glassnode reported that Bitcoin losses have surged to their highest level since the FTX crash, with short-term holders being the primary driver of this capitulation sell-off. The scale and speed of liquidation during the decline reflect a significant decrease in marginal demand, with recent new entrants closing out their positions. CryptoQuant CEO: Bitcoin may not see a strong rebound in the next 3-6 months. CryptoQuant founder and CEO Ki Young Ju wrote on the X platform: "The market weakness is greater than expected. If this situation continues, Bitcoin may not see a strong rebound in the next 3-6 months. The real bull market will not start until liquidity recovers next year." Furthermore, it cited macroeconomic expert @LukeGromen's view that "foreign demand for US Treasuries is weak, and without new liquidity injections, the US Treasury market will become unstable; once liquidity recovers next year, the prices of scarce assets such as gold and Bitcoin should rise." Arthur Hayes: The bottom is near, but don't rush to go all in. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes posted on the X platform: "BTC's decline has been less than the decline in dollar liquidity. The bottom is coming, but don't rush to go all in. At the same time, wait for a crash in the US stock market. We are betting on a larger-scale money printing, and to achieve this, we need to wait for AI tech stocks to collapse." Michael Saylor responds to MSCI's proposed new rules: Index classification cannot define strategy. Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of Strategy, responded to questions regarding the MSCI index, emphasizing that Strategy, as a publicly traded operating company, is fundamentally different from funds, trusts, and holding companies. Strategy not only has a $500 million software business but also uniquely uses Bitcoin as productive capital in its fund management. Saylor points out that Strategy has completed five public offerings of digital credit securities this year, with a notional total value exceeding $7.7 billion, and launched Stretch, a Bitcoin-backed fund management credit instrument. Unlike passively held assets funds and trusts, Strategy focuses on active management through creation, construction, issuance, and operation. Currently, the company is committed to building a Bitcoin-backed structured finance company with innovative capabilities in capital and software, which is difficult for passive instruments to match. Saylor emphasizes that index classifications cannot define Strategy. The company has a clear long-term strategy, a firm belief in Bitcoin, and its mission remains to become the world's first digital currency institution based on sound money and financial innovation. Previous reports indicated that MSCI plans to introduce new rules to remove companies with more than 50% of their assets from its major indices ; JPMorgan Chase stated that if Strategy is removed from MSCI and other mainstream indices, it could trigger a withdrawal of up to $2.8 billion in funds. Santiment: Bitcoin sentiment on social media falls to its lowest point since December 2023. Crypto market analytics platform Santiment tweeted that Bitcoin sentiment on social media has officially fallen to its lowest point since December 11, 2023. Based on bullish and bearish comments on platforms such as X, Reddit, and Telegram, retail investors are collapsing, with panic selling reaching its highest level in two years. Project Updates Web3 fantasy sports platform Sorare will lay off 35% of its staff. Raphaël Bloch, co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Big Whale, revealed in an article on the X platform that Web3 fantasy sports platform Sorare will be laying off 35% of its staff. An internal announcement confirmed the layoff plan, stating that approximately 35 of its 100 employees will leave, and that co-founder and CTO Adrien Montfort will step down from his operational role. Sorare CEO Nicolas Julia responded that he decided to "accelerate its path to profitability" and believes the restructuring will "simplify the company structure and shorten decision-making processes." He acknowledged that the move was "difficult to implement, but necessary." Sorare had previously initiated a major austerity program and migrated to the Solana platform, which could generate up to $10 million in revenue. Julia maintains that the company will return to growth by 2025 and achieve profitability "by the end of 2026." Coinbase acquires Vector.fun, a trading platform within the Solana ecosystem. According to Fortune magazine, Max Branzburg, Coinbase's Vice President of Product Management, revealed that Coinbase has agreed to acquire Vector.fun, a trading platform within the Solana ecosystem, with the transaction expected to close by the end of the year. He declined to disclose the terms of the acquisition. Vector.fun, a decentralized exchange focused on Meme coin trading, will have all 13 of its team members join Coinbase. Following the acquisition, Vector.fun's existing application will be shut down, and its technology will be used to enhance the decentralized trading functionality of the Coinbase application, enabling users to directly trade Solana ecosystem assets through Coinbase, breaking through the current limitation of only supporting on-chain trading on the Base chain. The Tensor Foundation has announced the acquisition of Tensor Marketplace and the Tensorians NFT series. The Tensor Foundation announced its acquisition of Tensor Marketplace and the Tensorians NFT series. Two days before the announcement, the price of TNSR surged by approximately 300%, sparking speculation about potential insider trading. Under the new management, all transaction fees from the trading platform will be deposited into the TNSR token treasury. At the same time, 21.6% of the unallocated tokens will be burned, and the already allocated tokens will be locked up again for three years. Bitmine's financial report: Full-year net revenue of approximately $328 million; staking service to launch in Q1 2026. According to PR Newswire, Ethereum treasury company Bitmine announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year ending August 31, 2025. The report stated that the company's net income for the full fiscal year 2025 was $328,161,370, with fully diluted earnings per share of $13.39. It also announced an annual dividend of $0.01 per BMNR share. In addition, Bitmine has selected three top staking service providers for a pilot project to test its various functions, while advancing and expanding its proprietary staking infrastructure—the Made in the USA Validator Network (MAVAN). The staking functionality is expected to officially launch in the first quarter of 2026. Maple Finance denies the allegations made by the CORE Foundation, stating that it is actively pursuing legal action. Maple Finance responded to recent public accusations from the CORE Foundation regarding its BTC yield program and syrupBTC product. Maple vehemently denies CORE's allegations, calling them a distortion of the facts. Maple states that its BTC yield program operates as an independent entity, with assets segregated from its overall business. Due to the decline in the value of the CORE token, risk management measures have been initiated, with plans to sell CORE tokens in an orderly manner to protect lenders' principal. Although hedging mechanisms exist to protect lenders, the planned token sale has been prevented due to legal action initiated by CORE. Maple also emphasizes that syrupBTC is independently developed and does not use CORE's confidential information. Legally, Maple is actively pursuing litigation to enforce the hedging agreement signed by CORE, stating that CORE's allegations are unsubstantiated and that the judgment it cited stemmed from a temporary application filed without prior notice to Maple. Furthermore, Maple will return 85% of the principal to lenders in its BTC yield program, with the remainder to be distributed after legal proceedings are resolved. This program is segregated from other products and will not affect other business operations. Further updates will be provided later. Previously, it was reported that the Cayman Islands court granted the Core Foundation's request to issue an injunction against Maple Finance to stop its alleged breach of contract .

Grayscale Calls Chainlink Key Bridge Between Crypto and Traditional Finance as LINK Tests $11.65 Floor

Grayscale Calls Chainlink Key Bridge Between Crypto and Traditional Finance as LINK Tests $11.65 Floor

Grayscale Research has released a new report arguing that Chainlink’s technology now sits at the center of efforts to connect public blockchains with traditional financial infrastructure. The paper, titled “The LINK Between Worlds,” describes Chainlink as “critical connective tissue” between on-chain and off-chain systems and says its software could be essential for tokenization and decentralized finance (DeFi).Chainlink Positioned as Core Plumbing for TokenizationIn the report, Grayscale analysts say public blockchains cannot support large-scale finance unless they reliably talk to real-world data and existing institutions. Chainlink’s tools, they argue, provide that missing connection layer for everything from asset prices to settlement events. Chainlink Tokenization Bridge. Source: Grayscale  on XThe research notes that most financial assets still live off-chain today. Tokenized versions account for only about 0.01% of the combined value of global equity and bond markets, leaving “enormous” room for expansion as more instruments move onto blockchains. Tokenized Assets Market Comparison. Source: Grayscale ResearchBecause of this gap, Grayscale frames Chainlink’s role in tokenization as primarily infrastructure. The network’s data feeds, automation tools and cross-chain messaging are presented as the rails that can let banks, asset managers and market utilities interact with public blockchains while keeping existing processes and controls. From ‘Oracle’ to Modular MiddlewareThe report pushes back on the idea of Chainlink as only a price-feed “oracle.” Instead, Grayscale describes it as modular middleware that lets smart-contract applications safely pull in outside information, talk to other blockchains and meet compliance requirements. Under this framing, Chainlink’s oracle networks are one component of a broader stack. The paper highlights features such as cross-chain communication, which can move messages and value between different networks, and services that can help institutions meet reporting or audit needs when they interact with DeFi protocols.According to Grayscale, this middleware approach means developers and financial firms do not need to rebuild their systems from scratch. Instead, they can plug existing workflows into Chainlink-enabled applications that run on multiple blockchains, while the middleware handles connectivity and verification in the background.LINK Token Presented as Broad Crypto-Market ExposureThe research also focuses on the LINK token’s place inside Grayscale’s sector framework. It classifies LINK as the largest asset in the “Utilities & Services” crypto sector by market value and the biggest non-Layer 1 token in the market when stablecoins are excluded. LINK Price Chart. Source: Artemis / Grayscale ResearchBecause Chainlink supports many blockchains rather than a single network, the report says LINK offers exposure to activity across the wider crypto economy. In that view, demand for LINK could track usage of Chainlink services on Ethereum, layer-2 networks and non-EVM chains that rely on its middleware. Grayscale concludes that this combination of cross-chain reach, tokenization focus and infrastructure usage makes LINK a candidate for diversified crypto portfolios, placing it alongside larger assets such as bitcoin and ether in the firm’s internal sector analysis.Trader Flags $11.65 as Critical LINK Support ZoneMeanwhile, Rick Barber says Chainlink has dropped into what he views as the macro support line and bottom of his buy range. In his post, he notes that this level has acted as support since 2024 and that several indicators now cluster around the same area, giving him confluence for a potential bottom. He adds that, for his spot position, the key risk would be a daily close below roughly $11.65.Chainlink Macro Support Zone. Source: Rick Barber on XOn the 4-hour chart, LINK trades near 12 dollars inside a highlighted green demand zone, with price pressing against horizontal support and a dense volume profile band just above. Meanwhile, oscillators such as RSI and MACD sit near the lower end of their recent ranges, reflecting extended downside pressure after a steady series of lower highs. The chart also shows price trading below major moving averages, underlining that the short-term trend remains weak even as it approaches support.On the daily timeframe, Barber’s chart extends that zone back through prior reactions, with LINK again testing the same band that previously acted as a base for rallies. In addition, a rising trendline from earlier lows runs just beneath the current range, reinforcing the idea of a long-term support cluster. However, the daily RSI continues to trend down, and Barber warns that a decisive break and close under the $11.65 area would invalidate his support thesis and raise concern about further downside.
