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.

Sonic Labs secures approval for $200M US TradFi expansion

Sonic Labs secures approval for $200M US TradFi expansion

The post Sonic Labs secures approval for $200M US TradFi expansion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Sonic Labs has earned near-unanimous community approval to issue $200 million worth of its S tokens to expand into the U.S. market, including creating a proposed exchange-traded product and a Nasdaq-listed investment vehicle. The community vote closed Sunday, recording 99.99% support from 105 participating wallets. Plus, with over 700 million tokens involved, the proposal comfortably met the S token participation quorum. After the vote, Sonic shared on X, saying, “Sonic is coming. Governance passed. Stay tuned.” Sonic revealed plans to launch Sonic USA LLC Sonic plans to back a Nasdaq-listed PIPE (Private Investment in Public Equity) vehicle with S tokens worth $100 million, plus another $50 million will fund an ETP (Exchange Traded Product) on the S token, which will be custodied by BitGo. According to the company, the ETP is set to be issued by a prominent regulated ETF issuer with significant assets under management.   Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Palo Alto, California, BitGo is one of the largest crypto custody firms in the U.S. But its services go beyond storage—clients can also borrow, lend, and trade directly on the platform. As earlier reported by Cryptopolitan, from January to June, BitGo’s assets under management reportedly surged from $60 billion to $100 billion. The company attributes this growth to stronger regulatory frameworks and rising crypto adoption. Early investors, including Goldman Sachs, DRW Holdings, Redpoint Ventures, and Valor Equity Partners, now find themselves eyeing a potential public exit. The company recently filed for an IPO confidentially, just as crypto markets continue to climb and Washington finally acknowledges the industry’s presence. To advance their strategic interests in the United States, Sonic is also establishing Sonic USA LLC, led by New York employees who will lead the firm’s activities in Washington, D.C., and more broadly in finance. So far, its recently opened office…

Solv and Chainlink integrate Proof of Reserve into SolvBTC

Solv and Chainlink integrate Proof of Reserve into SolvBTC

The post Solv and Chainlink integrate Proof of Reserve into SolvBTC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solv Protocol and Chainlink have launched a new feed that combines the market price with the on-chain verification of BTC reserves for SolvBTC, with a redemption rate anchored to the collateral and price limits designed to reduce manipulations. According to data collected by Chainlink Data, the SolvBTC feeds show public timestamps and updates accessible from the mainnet since the announcement. Industry analysts note that the PoR+price model can directly impact over 2 billion dollars in tokenized BTC, reducing the likelihood of depeg during market stress. By monitoring the official pages (Solv and Chainlink Data), it is possible to verify the operational status of the feeds on Ethereum and BOB in real-time. Solv Protocol shows data on its Bitcoin reserves collateralizing SolvBTC. Source: Solv Transparency SolvBTC: what has been launched and where it is active The new SolvBTC‑BTC feed combines the traditional exchange rate with the verification of reserves Bitcoin recorded on-chain. Unlike common price oracles, the value is anchored to the underlying collateral, enhancing transparency and consistency at the time of redemption. An interesting aspect is the immediate availability of data for public consultation. Ethereum mainnet: the Proof of Reserve (PoR) feed of SolvBTC is accessible with verifiable data and time-stamps. BOB network: the SolvBTC/BTC feed is operational for on‑chain pricing. Cross‑chain expansion: further integrations are in preparation, aiming to standardize the PoR + price model across multiple networks. Why it impacts the price of SolvBTC The feed directly integrates reserve coverage into the price calculation. This way, the redemption rate reflects not only the market spot price but also the actual availability of the BTC held, reducing possible misalignments between theoretical value and the value actually redeemable. It should be noted that the effect is particularly significant during times of volatility. How the Protection Mechanism Works The logic of…
