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 Gains First ETF as Grayscale's GLNK Prepares to Launch

Chainlink Gains First ETF as Grayscale's GLNK Prepares to Launch

Chainlink is receiving its first exchange-traded fund as Grayscale's GLNK product prepares to begin trading, marking a significant milestone for the decentralized oracle network and expanding investor access to LINK tokens through traditional financial channels. This development represents growing institutional recognition of Chainlink's critical infrastructure role in the blockchain ecosystem and signals continued expansion of cryptocurrency investment products beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. The launch of GLNK provides regulated exposure to Chainlink for investors who prefer traditional brokerage accounts over direct cryptocurrency purchases, potentially broadening the investor base and increasing demand for LINK tokens.

First U.S. Chainlink ETF Goes Live as Grayscale Launches ‘GLNK’

First U.S. Chainlink ETF Goes Live as Grayscale Launches ‘GLNK’

The post First U.S. Chainlink ETF Goes Live as Grayscale Launches ‘GLNK’ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Grayscale has launched the first U.S. Chainlink exchange-traded product, marking a major milestone for the oracle-focused blockchain project. The new product trades under the ticker GLNK and is now live on NYSE Arca. Zero-Fee GLNK Gives Regulated Access to Chainlink’s Infrastructure The firm announced the launch as part of its plan to expand regulated exposure to key digital assets in the growing tokenization market. The Chainlink ETF provides investors with a familiar ETF-structure but runs as an Exchange-Traded Product as opposed to a 40-Act ETF. Its launch comes after a previous clearance for Grayscale to proceed with the launch of this Chainlink ETF. There will be no management fees for this product upon launch. According to Grayscale, GLNK will hold LINK directly and provide investors with a regulated access to benefit from the emerging blockchain data infrastructure market. However, the company cautioned that GLNK is a high-risk product. Hence, not all investors should invest in it as it is not a conventional ETF. Chainlink is the most popular decentralized oracle network on the public blockchains. The protocol links physical data to smart contracts, which allows smart communication between chains. It also connects legacy systems to blockchains, providing an entry point for institutions to enter tokenized markets. These characteristics were emphasized by Grayscale as key strengths of the Chainlink ecosystem. The firm said they were part of the reasons behind launching an ETF linked to its native token.   Source: https://coingape.com/first-u-s-chainlink-etf-goes-live-as-grayscale-launches-glnk/

Opinion Grabs 40% Market Share in Prediction Boom

Opinion Grabs 40% Market Share in Prediction Boom

The post Opinion Grabs 40% Market Share in Prediction Boom appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Opinion.Trade has posted one of the strongest launches in prediction market history, seizing a 40.4% weekly market share and $1.5 billion in volume just weeks after going live on BNB Chain. The platform’s rapid ascent now positions it as a credible third major player alongside Polymarket and Kalshi. Sponsored Sponsored Opinion Captures 40% of Prediction Market Share With $1.5 Billion Weekly Volume According to Messari researcher 0xWeiler, Opinion.Trade averaged $132.5 million in daily notional volume between October 24 and November 17. With this, it surpassed $3.1 billion in cumulative trading, marking the strongest launch since April 2024. During the same period, open interest hit $60.9 million, already ranking third industry-wide behind Kalshi ($302.1 million) and Polymarket ($250.5 million). Opinion.Trade’s volume metrics from October 24 to November 17, 2025. Source: Messari The breakthrough occurred between November 11 and 17, when Opinion led the entire sector with $1.5 billion in weekly notional volume, capturing 40.4% of all trading. For context, Kalshi held 32.9%, and Polymarket followed with 26.6%, marking only the third time any platform aside from those two dominated a seven-day span. User activity reflected the surge. Opinion averaged 25,300 daily transactions and registered more than 62,400 unique users in its first three weeks. Sponsored Sponsored Transaction peaks aligned with major crypto-native markets, particularly those tied to Monad’s TGE date, launch FDV, and BNB pricing, with Opinion consistently outperforming competitors. Why Opinion Captured Market Share So Quickly A combination of structural and strategic advantages drove Opinion’s breakout. The project is backed by YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), a major signal of credibility given the firm’s $10 billion portfolio. Opinion also raised a $5 million seed round in March 2025, led by YZi Labs and Animoca Ventures. However, the clearest growth engine is its OPN Points program, which rewards users for providing…
