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.

Oracle cloud revenue uptick disappoints, investors question AI‑infrastructure gamble

Oracle cloud revenue uptick disappoints, investors question AI‑infrastructure gamble

The post Oracle cloud revenue uptick disappoints, investors question AI‑infrastructure gamble appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Oracle reported a cloud revenue result that landed below expectations, leaving investors uneasy about how long its massive AI booking wave will take to turn into steady cash. Fiscal second-quarter cloud sales climbed 34 percent to $7.98 billion, but the figure missed analyst forecasts. The slower payoff timing now sits at the center of market debate. This report marked the first major cloud test for the new leadership team running the company after a high-profile executive shift. Revenue from the infrastructure unit jumped 68 percent to $4.08 billion in the same period, yet that number also came in just under projections. Oracle said the remaining performance obligation reached $523 billion for the quarter that ended November 30. Analysts on the Wall Street trading floor had expected about $519 billion, showing demand stayed strong even as near-term revenue lagged today. Oracle’s bookings figure showed future work piling up, but the timing of when that money hits income remains uncertain. Investors question spending as data center build speeds up Oracle built its cloud push on its old database base and then chased bigger names in modern computing. The current expansion is tied tightly to a large data center build meant to support AI workloads for OpenAI. Major platform clients also include TikTok under ByteDance and Meta Platforms. These customers help explain the surge in infrastructure demand even as questions grow about the cost of keeping those sites running nonstop. Spending pressure showed up clearly in the quarter. Capital expenditures reached about $13 billion, up from $8.5 billion in the prior period. Back in September, the company projected full-year capital spending of $35 billion. Analysts had modeled only $8.25 billion for the latest quarter, which widened the gap between expectations and what was actually spent. The higher outlay reflects land, power, hardware, and…

How a “Jellyfish UFO” PDF fueled a controversial market explosion

A Polymarket contract asking whether President Donald Trump will declassify UFO files in 2025 sat at 5.5% on Dec. 6. The next day, it rocketed toward 90%. The trigger wasn’t a White House announcement or a Pentagon press conference, but likely a resolution proposal filed with UMA Protocol, the decentralized oracle that settles Polymarket’s disputes.

Top Crypto Investors Shocked as This New Altcoin Continues Its 250% Run, Only 5% Under $0.04 Left

Top Crypto Investors Shocked as This New Altcoin Continues Its 250% Run, Only 5% Under $0.04 Left

The post Top Crypto Investors Shocked as This New Altcoin Continues Its 250% Run, Only 5% Under $0.04 Left appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Top crypto investors have become spellbound by a new altcoin that is moving at a rapid pace and its momentum does not seem to slow down. As it has already increased by 250% and a minor part of its allocation remains below the $0.04 mark, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is emerging as one of the most observed potential breakout contenders in the next four years. The continuous hype is putting the project on a narrow new frontier that many are thinking could close even earlier than they thought. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Mutuum Finance has created a decentralized system of lending that is made up of systematic borrowing and lending. The Peer to Contract market has two parties, the assets lent to it include ETH or USDT and lenders obtain mtTokens, which appreciate in value as the interest is returned by borrowers. The Peer to Peer market would allow the borrowers to access the lenders in a direct manner. The rate of borrowing is flexible. Rates remain lower when the liquidity is high. In case of tightening of liquidity, the cost of borrowing increases. The loan-to-value restraints control prudent usage of collateral. Liquidation can be done in case the collateral of a borrower depreciates a great deal. Discounted collateral is received and part of the debt is repaid by liquidators. These workings facilitate the protocol to run even when fast moving markets are involved. Growth and Increasing Demand in Presale Mutuum Finance was opened at the beginning of 2025 at $0.01. It currently is priced at $0.035 indicating a 2.5x increase in the course of development. It has been funded to more than $19.250M and the community has increased to 18,500 holders. It has sold 815M tokens on the project. Of the total amount of 4B MUTM tokens, 1.82B, or 45.5% is…

Lava Network MiCA Compliance as Kraken and Binance Listings

Lava Network MiCA Compliance as Kraken and Binance Listings

The post Lava Network MiCA Compliance as Kraken and Binance Listings appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Demand for compliant digital-asset infrastructure is rising across Europe, and the Lava network is moving to meet it with new exchange listings and full MiCA alignment. MiCA compliance and EU-wide legal clarity Lava Network announced that it has completed the MiCA Title II procedure, confirming that its native LAVA token is not classified as a financial instrument under current rules. The process included the required 20-day notice period, granting the project full legal compliance across the EU for its token issuance and related activities. Moreover, the team framed this regulatory milestone as a direct response to mounting demand from enterprises for compliant digital-asset infrastructure. That said, the recognition under MiCA is especially important as institutional players seek on-chain services that fit within existing regulatory frameworks, without compromising operational flexibility. Listings on Kraken and Binance expand access Alongside its MiCA progress, the Lava Network digital asset is now trading on major centralized platforms Kraken and Binance. However, the project did not disclose any specific lava network price projections or market guidance, instead emphasizing liquidity, accessibility, and regulatory clarity as key drivers for broader adoption. The new listings are expected to improve liquidity conditions for LAVA and facilitate participation from both retail and institutional traders. Additionally, the exchanges’ global user bases provide expanded market reach beyond the European Union, while the MiCA framework supplies regulatory certainty for EU-based users. High-uptime infrastructure and cross-chain reach Lava Network reports that it has already routed more than 150 billion requests across various blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, NEAR, Hedera, Filecoin, Hyperliquid, and Cosmos. These connections aggregate leading data providers and support cross chain data routing with quality-of-service metrics to determine the optimal data path. According to the project, this infrastructure is designed as a high uptime oracle network, delivering 99.99% uptime for developers, enterprises, and…

U.S. AI leaders form foundation to compete with China

U.S. AI leaders form foundation to compete with China

The post U.S. AI leaders form foundation to compete with China appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A group of leading U.S. artificial intelligence firms has formed a new foundation to establish open standards for “agentic” AI. The founding members, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Block, have pooled their proprietary agent- and AI-related technologies into a new open-source project called the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), under the auspices of the Linux Foundation. This development follows tensions in the global race for dominance in artificial intelligence, leading U.S. AI firms and policymakers to unite around a new push to preserve American primacy. Open standards like MCP drive innovation and cross-platform collaboration Cloudflare CTO Dane Knecht noted that open standards and protocols, such as MCP, are critical for establishing an evolving developer ecosystem for building agents. He added, “They ensure anyone can build agents across platforms without the fear of vendor lock-in.” American companies face a dilemma because they are seeking continuous income from closed APIs, even as they are falling behind in fundamental AI development, risking long-term irrelevance to China. And that means American companies must standardize their approach for MCP and agentic AI, allowing them to focus on building better models rather than being locked into an ecosystem. The foundation establishes both a practical partnership and a milestone for community open-sourcing, with adversaries uniting around a single goal of standardization rather than fragmentation. It also makes open-source development easier and more accessible for users worldwide, including those in China. Anthropic donated its Model Context Protocol (MCP), a library that allows AIs to utilize tools creatively outside API calls, to the Linux Foundation. Since its introduction a year ago, MCP has gained traction, with over 10,000 active servers, best-in-class support from platforms including ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and VS Code, as well as 97 million monthly SDK downloads. “Open-source software is key to creating a world with secure and innovative AI tools for…
