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.

RWA Tokenization Narrative Could Be The Biggest Driver Of Volumes In 2026

RWA Tokenization Narrative Could Be The Biggest Driver Of Volumes In 2026

The post RWA Tokenization Narrative Could Be The Biggest Driver Of Volumes In 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights SEC chair Paul Atkins confirms that banks and financial services are fully embracing tokenization. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink champions tokenization, comparing it with the early stages of the internet. A glance at how these executives envision the future of tokenization. The tokenization narrative has been gaining momentum this week. We previously looked into the NASDAQ’s announcement that it was prioritizing tokenized stocks and more related crypto news have emerged since then. It is now clear that the traditional finance industry is shifting technologically, and tokenization will be the lever that facilitates that shift. U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins acknowledged that the market is headed in that direction during a recent interview. Atkins noted that the financial industry, including banks and brokers, are embracing tokenization. He also noted that this is a trend that could be adopted across the world in the next few years. Paul Atkins on tokenization/ source: X, Real World Assets Watchlist Atkin’s statement also highlighted the stark difference between his tenure and that of his predecessor, Garry Gensler. Aktin’s SEC leans in favor of developments around blockchain technology. BlackRock CEO Takes the Tokenization Red Pill Wall Street is also embracing the RWAs tokenization move. The fact that NASDAQ committed to that direction was the first major sign, and now industry execs are leaning in favor. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink is reportedly championing the transition towards tokenized stocks. He recently likened the market’s current position on tokenization to Amazon when it was selling books online back in 1996. Source: X, Securitize In other words, BlackRock believes that the tokenization segment will introduce massive changes to how the internet is used. Especially as a conduit for the flow of value and an upgrade to the traditional finance system. Fink’s statement also highlighted how…

Predicting the market takes a decade of honing; who will be next?

Predicting the market takes a decade of honing; who will be next?

The evolution of the crypto prediction market is fascinating because it was once considered a "falsifiable" sector. It took a decade to achieve Product-Market Fit (PMF), a process that exceeded market expectations. Sometimes, in the crypto space, drawing conclusions too early isn't advisable. The concept of prediction markets is not new; it has existed in the crypto space for a long time. The Gnosis project started development in 2015; and Augur officially launched in 2018. It is a decentralized prediction market platform based on Ethereum that allows users to create and predict future events and settle them using cryptocurrencies. Polymarket (based on Polygon) launched in 2020, but has remained marginalized ever since. Coupled with regulatory factors, it has struggled to survive. Polymarket's initial monthly trading volume was only a few million dollars; Augur's TVL plummeted nearly 80% after the 2020 election, falling from its peak to a few million dollars. The overall industry TVL peaked at around 7 million dollars, with monthly trading volume less than 100 million dollars. Regulatory pressure (such as the CFTC viewing it as "gambling") and imperfect (manipulable) oracles further hampered growth. The prediction market didn't truly explode until 2024. In particular, the 2024 US presidential election became a turning point. Polymarket's campaign prediction market saw trading volume exceed $2.7 billion, with the platform's monthly trading volume surging from $62 million in May to $2.1 billion in October, a more than 30-fold increase. The total notional trading volume for the year reached $16.3 billion, far exceeding the total of all previous years. Why did it take ten years to achieve PMF? First, the early crypto space faced technical and user experience barriers. While the concept of prediction markets seemed promising and demand immense, the user experience excluded the vast majority of users. For example, early versions of Augur were built on Ethereum's L1 platform, resulting in extremely high transaction costs—GAS was prohibitively high at the time—and slow confirmation speeds. Furthermore, ordinary users had to master wallets and complex interfaces, all of which presented significant learning curves. These high barriers corresponded to insufficient liquidity and user concerns about manipulation. Secondly, regulatory pressure has been constant. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has intensified its scrutiny of prediction markets since 2018, classifying them as "gambling" or derivatives. During this period, Augur was fined for betting on sensitive events; Polymarket paid a $1.4 million fine and withdrew from the U.S. in 2022; and even its founder, Shayne Coplan (born in 1998), had his New York apartment raided by the FBI, who seized his electronic devices (but did not arrest him). This regulatory ambiguity has prevented institutional funds from entering the market. Regulatory pressure has made it difficult for liquidity to improve. Thirdly, there has been a shift in market narrative. In the crypto space from 2016 to 2018, most users focused more on speculation than practical tools; the DeFi/NFT boom from 2020 to 2023 distracted attention, resulting in a prediction market TVL of only $7 million. The lack of mainstream events hindered the accumulation of liquidity. Fourth, oracles are immature and easily manipulated. 2024 will be a turning point. As mentioned above, the US presidential election in 2024 will be a catalyst, but it will be much more than that. From 2024 to now, prediction markets have truly taken off. Besides Polymarket, the centralized prediction platform Kalshi has also emerged. In 2025, prediction market trading volume reached $27.9 billion (a year-on-year increase of 210%), with a weekly peak of $2.3 billion. The combined TVL of Polymarket and Kalshi exceeded $20 billion. Both were valued at tens of billions of dollars. Prediction markets suddenly became the darling of the market. So, what are the driving factors? In stark contrast to the obstacles encountered between 2015 and 2024, these obstacles were removed one by one, resulting in a qualitative improvement in various aspects such as user experience. First, there are changes in technological barriers and user experience. Polygon and Base L2 networks have reduced gas fees to mere cents and increased transaction speeds tenfold. Platforms like Polymarket have optimized their UIs, supporting one-click stablecoin betting and attracting non-crypto natives. Furthermore, DeFi has seen significant growth, providing deeper liquidity. For users, participating in prediction markets is now very convenient. Kalshi, a centralized prediction platform, has integrated with platforms like Robinhood, making user participation even easier. Second, regulatory changes. Following the 2024 US presidential election, regulators pushed for crypto-friendly policies. The CFTC approved regulated platforms like Kalshi in 2025. The SEC/CFTC clarified the legality of "spot commodity crypto," and stablecoin legislation passed Congress. Overseas, while Switzerland maintains a blacklist, the overall environment has shifted from hostile to supportive, with institutional funds flowing in (e.g., ICE invested $2 billion). Third, the market narrative has shifted. During this cycle, no single narrative has been particularly dominant. Instead, real-world applications have become the focus of market attention. Coupled with the catalyst of the 2024 election predictions, Polymarkets expanded its reach to areas such as sports, economics, and technology. Media promotion (such as coverage by CNN/Bloomberg) and the spread through social networks further fueled the boom in prediction markets. Fourth, both institutions and the community are pushing for it, with a16z actively participating and creating a narrative of "event-driven financial infrastructure." Community users are also actively participating, which has boosted TVL. Fifth, the prediction market has gradually evolved from "gambling" into a new type of signal, similar to a signal that provides real-time probability. An interesting conclusion can be drawn from the decade-long evolution of prediction markets: not all "falsified" sectors necessarily lack product-market fit (PMF); sometimes it's simply because conditions weren't yet ripe. This phenomenon is particularly evident in the crypto space. Due to the underdeveloped infrastructure in the first decade (expensive/slow/poor user experience, etc.), many attempts failed to reach ordinary users. Perhaps some of these sectors—such as Crypto Games, social networking, AI agents, depins, and digital identities—have already ended, but others will still have a chance to rediscover their potential.

Apeing Leads 100x Crypto Shift With Whitelist Momentum

Apeing Leads 100x Crypto Shift With Whitelist Momentum

The post Apeing Leads 100x Crypto Shift With Whitelist Momentum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto Projects Apeing drives the new 100x crypto narrative as whitelist access rises in demand while Avalanche and Chainlink keep solid market momentum. The crypto market has moved into one of those chaotic phases where every chart looks like it has its own personality disorder. One hour feels bullish, the next feels like gravity returned early, and every analyst online is suddenly calling themselves a philosopher. As liquidity rotates from one narrative to another, traders are hunting for anything that gives them a real advantage. Some search for new frameworks. Some stare at charts until their eyes malfunction. Yet many are finally accepting the new reality that early access is now the hottest alpha in town. This shift arrived right as several major networks regained momentum, pushing traders to consider what comes next. The conversation around 100x crypto candidates intensified, and social feeds began filling with arguments about which projects can survive this wild market cycle. That debate created the perfect storm for a new contender to slip into the spotlight. It did not take long before Apeing appeared at the center of the conversation, positioned as a project built entirely around timing, instinct, and early positioning. The current market feels like a prequel to something huge. Whales are active again. Smaller traders are experimenting with new entries. Narratives are shifting faster than usual, and the window to position for a potential breakout is shrinking. That dynamic sets the stage for the rise of a new 100x crypto leader, and early signs indicate the market may have already chosen its champion. Market Momentum Turns Chaotic and Early Access Becomes the Main Edge A key trend shaping today’s market is the appetite for early-position plays. When volatility spikes, traders want a controlled entry point, not a random attempt to buy a…

Crypto weekly winners and losers this week showcased a mixed landscape amid broader market downturns.

Crypto market’s weekly winners and losers – MYX, LINK, CC, ZEC

Crypto market’s weekly winners and losers – MYX, LINK, CC, ZEC

The post Crypto market’s weekly winners and losers – MYX, LINK, CC, ZEC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This week, the crypto market was choppy.  Bitcoin [BTC] briefly fell below key levels before recovering slightly, and Ethereum [ETH] showed similar ups-and-downs. The overall crypto market dropped as investors moved away from risk.  Amid this volatility, a few utility chains diverged, rallying by double digits. Weekly winners MYX Finance [MYX] — Reinforced a bullish structure  MYX Finance [MYX] is leading the market this week with a 17% move up to $3.04, marking its fifth straight green weekly candle. Notably, it’s a clear standout compared to other gainers. With the broader market in the red, MYX’s strength could look like short-term rotation. But after a 50% climb in just over a month, it’s clear the momentum is more self-driven than a brief flow shift. Backing this setup, MYX has now posted three higher highs on its weekly chart, broken through key resistance levels, and confirmed a bullish market structure. In short, a clean push above $3 is very much on the table. Source: TradingView (MYX/USDT) This resilience lines up with MYX’s strong weekly performance.  As AMBCrypto pointed out, the 17% move has been leverage-heavy, with Open Interest (OI) jumping noticeably. Even so, the chart still shows firm bullish momentum, hinting that buyers are positioning for continuation. Bitcoin Cash [BCH] — Bitcoin fork rallied up toward a key resistance level Bitcoin Cash [BCH] came in as the second-strongest mover, posting an 8% jump to $580. Like MYX, BCH has been in a steady weekly uptrend, printing three back-to-back green candles. But a breakout isn’t locked in yet. On the chart, BCH is parked right under a major resistance zone. It is the same level it failed to clear in early October before sliding 16% down to $480. So this area is still the key barrier. Technically, the RSI still hasn’t hit…
