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.

Compound Resumes Withdrawals from USDC, USDS Markets

Compound Resumes Withdrawals from USDC, USDS Markets

The post Compound Resumes Withdrawals from USDC, USDS Markets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The DeFi lending protocol had paused withdrawals for three stablecoin markets after risk manager Gauntlet flagged a liquidity squeeze in Elixir’s deUSD token. Decentralized crypto lending platform Compound has resumed withdrawals from two out of three of its stablecoin markets where withdrawals had been paused since yesterday. Withdrawals were temporarily paused after risk manager Gauntlet flagged a liquidity crunch tied to institutional liquidity firm Elixir’s deUSD ecosystem. To prevent potential bad debt, Gauntlet had recommended that Compound institute a temporary emergency pause on withdrawals from the three markets where deUSD and sdUSD are accepted as collateral, namely USDC, USDS, and USDT on Ethereum mainnet. In a fresh comment on the recommendations from Gauntlet originally posted on Nov. 4, Gauntlet said that Ethereum USDC and USDS market withdrawals were unpaused, “allowing users to resume normal activity.” As for USDT, the comment suggests that users transfer more USDT into the affected market in order “fully cover any temporary reserve gap and provide an additional safety buffer.” The pause was proposed as a precaution while voting continued on Gauntlet’s separate risk parameter governance proposal, which passed the evening of Nov. 4, and was executed on-chain around 6 p.m. UTC today. The Pause In its original recommendation post, Gauntlet explained the reason for the pause, saying that Elixir’s synthetic dollar asset deUSD and its staked counterpart sdeUSD were facing a liquidity crunch, with sdeUSD falling to $0.86 while the protocol’s oracle was still showing the price at $1.06. Per Gauntlet, the price discrepancy is “considered a vulnerability” as it could let borrowers take on more than the market could actually back. Compound implemented the halt, blocking new borrows and withdrawals while still allowing users to add liquidity, repay loans, or post new collateral. Compound currently has $2.26 billion locked across its on-chain lending markets,…

Palantir fell over 10% from Monday’s high, entering correction territory due to extreme valuation concerns

Palantir fell over 10% from Monday’s high, entering correction territory due to extreme valuation concerns

The post Palantir fell over 10% from Monday’s high, entering correction territory due to extreme valuation concerns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Palantir has officially entered correction territory after falling over 10% from Monday’s all-time high, dragging major tech names down with it. The drop comes as investors start backing away from stocks they believe were priced too high, too fast. The Dow Jones collapsed 398.70 points on Thursday, closing at 46,912.30, while the S&P 500 dropped 1.12% to 6,720.32 and the Nasdaq Composite sank 1.9% to 23,053.99. This wasn’t just a blip. The Nasdaq 100 is now down over 2% since last Friday and is tracking for its worst week since early April. The biggest hits came from Palantir, Nvidia, Microsoft, AMD, and Broadcom, all of them crushed by a brutal market wake-up call. Investors are finally seeing what’s been clear for a while: a cool product and a catchy ticker don’t mean the stock isn’t overpriced as hell. Tech cracks under sky-high valuations The selloff wasn’t random. People are finally running from sky-high AI stock valuations that just don’t make sense anymore. Palantir’s price-to-earnings ratio is 600. For the math people in the room, that means Palantir needs to increase its earnings 10x to even begin looking slightly rational. And even then, it’d still trade at a multiple almost double that of Alphabet. JPMorgan market analysts said, “It’s hard to look at Palantir’s current valuation and see it as anything but stretched; very, stretched, in fact. A great company can be a bad investment.” In plain English: even if Palantir nails everything, the stock is still overpriced. “I would avoid Palantir stock,” they added. Other AI-linked names also tanked. AMD dropped 7%, wiping out Wednesday’s gains. Oracle fell 3%. Qualcomm slipped 4%, despite beating earnings. Meta and Nvidia (usually market favorites) both slid too. Mike Mussio, head of FBB Capital Partners, said the market was reacting hard to weak outlooks.…

Mark Zuckerberg Loses Nearly $5 Billion—Drops From Third To Sixth-Richest

Mark Zuckerberg Loses Nearly $5 Billion—Drops From Third To Sixth-Richest

The post Mark Zuckerberg Loses Nearly $5 Billion—Drops From Third To Sixth-Richest appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth was reduced by nearly $5 billion as Meta shares declined on Thursday, dropping him among the ranks of the world’s wealthiest after Reuters reported Meta projected a chunk of revenue would come from running advertisements for scams. A stock dip comes after Reuters reported Meta estimated a chunk of revenue would come from running fraudulent ads. Getty Images Key Facts Shares of Meta dropped 2.3% to around $620.75 as of Thursday morning, adding to a roughly 17.5% slide for the stock over the last week, which includes a single-day drop of more than 11% after Meta posted third-quarter earnings. Zuckerberg, who was ranked the world’s third-richest person early last week behind Oracle’s Larry Ellison ($298.8 billion) and Tesla’s Elon Musk ($496.5 billion), respectively, now ranks behind No. 3 Jeff Bezos ($257 billion), No. 4 Larry Page ($235 billion) and No. 5 Sergey Brin ($217.9 billion). Zuckerberg, who holds roughly 13% equity in Meta, had his net worth reduced by $4.6 billion (2.1%) as Meta’s shares dropped. Why Are Meta Shares Down Today? Reuters reported Thursday, citing internal company documents, that Meta projected 10% of overall revenue—estimated at $16 billion—would come from running advertisements for scams and banned goods. Meta spokesperson Andy Stone told Reuters the documents cited by the outlet “present a selective view that distorts Meta’s approach to fraud and scams,” noting the company’s internal estimates were lower and that the 10% estimate included “many” legitimate ads.” Stone declined to give an updated figure to Reuters (Meta did not immediately respond to a request for comment to Forbes). Other documents indicated Meta was under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission for running ads for financial scams, Reuters reported. Regulators in the U.K. reported in 2023 that Meta’s products were involved in 54% of…

Aave’s Horizon RWA Market Nears $540 Million, Adds VanEck Treasury Fund

Aave’s Horizon RWA Market Nears $540 Million, Adds VanEck Treasury Fund

The post Aave’s Horizon RWA Market Nears $540 Million, Adds VanEck Treasury Fund appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The move comes as institutional interest in tokenized assets continues to grow. Aave’s Horizon real-world asset (RWA) market recently surpassed $500 million in total market size around three months after launching. According to data from Aave, Horizon currently holds $539.8 million in total assets, with $163.5 million borrowed and $94.5 million available for lending. The market is built on Aave v3.3 – Aave is currently the largest decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol with more than $39 billion in total value locked (TVL). Horizon’s largest positions include the Superstate Crypto Carry Fund (USCC) with $238 million supplied, RLUSD with $164 million supplied and $89 million borrowed, and Aave’s native GHO stablecoin with $69 million supplied. Other tokenized assets include U.S. Treasuries from Janus Henderson and Superstate. While Horizon’s RWA product is on Aave V3, once Aave V4 becomes available, Horizon will move to a custom deployment, The Defiant reported earlier this year. During this first year, 50% of Horizon’s revenue will be allocated to the Aave DAO, dropping to 30% in the second year. Horizon’s rapid growth reflects the rising demand for tokenization, which experts say boosts liquidity and lowers costs. Total on-chain real-world asset (RWA) value has surged to $35.8 billion in 2025, up sharply from $13 billion in November 2024. VBILL Gets Added Building on that momentum, Securitize and VanEck announced on Thursday that the VanEck Treasury Fund (VBILL) is now listed on Aave Horizon as an eligible collateral asset. VBILL currently has an on-chain total asset value of over $93 million. The integration utilizes Chainlink’s NAVLink oracle for verified net asset value (NAV) data, according to an official blog post by the teams. Securitize’s Trusted Single Source Oracle (TSSO) technology will also be integrated in the future. “VBILL’s integration into Aave Horizon represents a natural evolution for tokenized securities,”…

Securitize, VanEck Bring VBILL Tokenized Treasury Fund To Aave

Securitize, VanEck Bring VBILL Tokenized Treasury Fund To Aave

The post Securitize, VanEck Bring VBILL Tokenized Treasury Fund To Aave appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave’s Horizon market, the DeFi protocol’s institutional-grade platform for real-world assets (RWAs), is getting a major boost as Securitize and VanEck bring their tokenized treasury fund, VBILL, to the platform. The integration, powered by Chainlink’s NAVLink oracle technology, represents another leap forward in bridging traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi) together. Since launching in August, Horizon has quickly grown into the fastest-expanding venue for RWAs in DeFi, surpassing $460 million in total market size, according to a press release shared with CoinDesk. The platform’s aim is to meet institutional compliance standards while maintaining the transparency and liquidity of onchain finance. VBILL, launched earlier this year by Securitize and VanEck, is the asset manager’s first tokenized fund. Now, with VBILL added as eligible collateral, institutions can borrow stablecoins against their VBILL holdings. The integration into Aave Horizon is underpinned by Chainlink’s NAVLink and LlamaGuard NAV oracles, which provide verified, risk-adjusted net asset value (NAV) data to ensure tamper-resistant pricing, the team claims. Securitize also plans to integrate its Trusted Single Source Oracle (TSSO) system in the future, adding another layer of verification for onchain fund valuation. “Integrating VanEck’s VBILL with Aave and Chainlink expands access to one of the most trusted forms of onchain collateral and demonstrates how regulated assets can now move fluidly through DeFi,” said Carlos Domingo, the CEO of Securitize, in the press release.
