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.

Why Oracle stock is surging today

Why Oracle stock is surging today

The post Why Oracle stock is surging today appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. After recent volatile sessions, Oracle’s (NYSE: ORCL) share price is surging as investors react to Wall Street’s bullish outlook on the company’s key partnership in artificial intelligence. As of press time, ORCL stock was trading at $205, up over 4% for the day. Despite today’s gains, the stock remains down roughly 27% over the past month. ORCL one-month stock price chart. Source: Finbold The current momentum follows analysts at Deutsche Bank and HSBC defending the stock amid concerns over AI spending and OpenAI commitments. Deutsche Bank analyst Brad Zelnick noted that even with potential risks, the “bear case looks… bullish,” estimating only modest hits to long-term earnings and free cash flow if OpenAI revenue falls short.  The bank also said Oracle’s data center lease obligations offer flexibility and that the stock is undervalued relative to its AI business. Deutsche Bank maintained a ‘Buy’ rating on Oracle with a $375 price target, highlighting that the market has yet to fully value the growth potential from this collaboration.  Revenue expansion potential The firm emphasized that Oracle’s AI and cloud strategy could drive significant revenue expansion, particularly if the company capitalizes on its technological and infrastructure investments faster than competitors. HSBC also maintained a ‘Buy’ rating with a $382 target, noting that the company is effectively managing AI infrastructure margins and planning to meet its commitments.  Both analysts suggest that market fears may be overstated, with significant upside potential for the stock. Meanwhile, investment strategist Shay Boloor, in an X post on November 26, explained why the stock has faced recent pressure. He noted that Oracle is undertaking “the most aggressive capex plan in the industry,” funding a data center buildout that is outsized relative to its revenue base.  Why is $ORCL down 30% in the past month? Because Oracle is taking on…

OpenAI targets 220 million paid ChatGPT users by 2030

OpenAI targets 220 million paid ChatGPT users by 2030

The post OpenAI targets 220 million paid ChatGPT users by 2030 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. OpenAI expects to have 220 million paying ChatGPT users by 2030, a significant increase from its current paid base of approximately 35 million, according to reports from The Information. The projection is based on an estimated 2.6 billion weekly active users, meaning roughly 8.5% would convert to paid subscriptions over the next five years. OpenAI’s revenue from subscriptions, along with new features like shopping assistance and ad-supported offerings, could reach $20 billion annually by 2025, according to industry sources. Meanwhile, it is worth noting that around 35 million users, who account for about 5% of ChatGPT’s active weekly users, have decided to subscribe to the “Plus” or “Pro” plans as of July this year. The subscription costs for these plans are $20 and $200 per month, respectively. However, reports from reliable sources indicate that, although the tech giant’s anticipated annual revenue run rate is expected to reach around $20 billion by the end of this year, the company faces a significant challenge: it is encountering increasing losses in its operations. OpenAI believes ChatGPT subscription members will surge significantly by 2030 The Information released a report highlighting that OpenAI generated approximately  $4.3 billion in revenue during the first half of 2025. This figure reflected a 16% increase from its total revenue recorded last year.  Nonetheless, despite this increase in revenue, the independent, subscription-based digital media company also disclosed that OpenAI incurred $2.5 billion in losses, primarily due to high research and development costs related to AI and the operation of ChatGPT. Even with this challenge, the tech company still holds onto the belief that about 20% of its revenue will stem from new products, such as features related to shopping and advertising. Interestingly, the tech giant announced the introduction of a personal shopping assistant for ChatGPT this week. According to OpenAI, this shopping assistant…

How can x402 and Switchboard jointly forge the "value artery" of the intelligent agent economy?

How can x402 and Switchboard jointly forge the "value artery" of the intelligent agent economy?

The x402 track is currently in a state of limbo in terms of infrastructure. Although the booming market has taken away the "right time" and made application layers like Launchpad and middleware layers like Facilitator temporarily quiet, it has given the underlying infrastructure layer more time to build. Switchboard, an oracle project that emerged from the Solana ecosystem, recently proposed to provide a data service layer for the x402 protocol. How exactly will it do this? 1) In terms of technical architecture, Switchboard adopts a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), which is different from traditional consensus models such as Chainlink and Pyth that rely on network verification. Data is directly transmitted to the chain based on a secure enclave. 2) In terms of protocol compatibility, Switchboard is compatible with the x402 protocol standard, allowing the AI Agent to directly initiate data requests via HTTP 402, complete authorization using on-chain micro-payments, and receive data instantly. The entire process requires no additional adaptation layer or intermediate contract; 3) In terms of billing model, it breaks the traditional subscription model of oracles and supports pay-per-call—the agent pays according to the number of calls and data points, and pays only for what is used, which is completely consistent with the pay-as-you-go design concept of the x402 protocol; 4) Even more radically, Switchboard has completely removed the API Key mechanism. In the traditional model, accessing data services required registration, applying for a key, and managing permissions—a process that created significant friction for the agent. Now, a user's 402 transaction request simply needs to include sufficient information to instantly access any data source, without registration or approval. The question is, does the x402 protocol need a dedicated oracle service layer? First, let's clarify a concept: in the x402 protocol architecture, the Facilitator is responsible for payment facilitation—payment on behalf of others, broadcasting transactions, and state verification—solving the question of "how the money flows." The API services that the Agent actually calls, whether it's obtaining prices, performing calculations, or invoking LLM inference, are provided by the Provider layer. What Switchboard aims to create is a special type of Provider: a Provider that specifically provides on-chain trusted data services, constructing the core information layer for Agent value transfer. Imagine if the Provider is a centralized API; what if the data is tampered with or the service goes down? In Web2 scenarios, these risks are mitigated by channel brands and legal contracts, but in on-chain execution environments, especially those involving complex DeFi operations, some verifiable data that is stored on the blockchain is required. If ERC-8004 solves the problem of buyer agent identity trustworthiness and reputation, then this type of oracle-guided provider provides a layer of trust assurance in seller (API) data trustworthiness verification. Essentially, the x402 protocol builds the payment layer for the agent service market, while Switchboard builds the data service layer. If the payment layer allows money to flow, the data service layer allows trusted data to flow. Only when both are combined can an Agentic Economy have a complete infrastructure.
