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.

OpenAI declares 'code red' as Google's Gemini, Anthropic gain ground on ChatGPT

OpenAI declares 'code red' as Google's Gemini, Anthropic gain ground on ChatGPT

The post OpenAI declares 'code red' as Google's Gemini, Anthropic gain ground on ChatGPT appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. OpenAI’s boss told staff Monday the company is hitting the panic button on ChatGPT. Sam Altman sent a memo declaring “code red” and said other projects are getting pushed back so the team can fix the chatbot. The Wall Street Journal saw the internal message. Altman laid out what needs work: better personalization, faster speeds, and more reliable performance. He also wants ChatGPT to handle more types of questions. This is the biggest signal yet that OpenAI feels the heat from competitors. Google worries Altman the most. Last month, Google rolled out a new Gemini AI model that beat OpenAI on industry tests, as reported by Cryptopolitan. Google’s stock jumped after that. Gemini’s been picking up users fast since August, when it launched Nano Banana, an image generator. Google says monthly active users went from 450 million in July to 650 million by October. Then there’s Anthropic, which is winning over business customers. Billions in data center spending create pressure OpenAI has committed to spend hundreds of billions on data centers down the road. Investors are getting nervous about when that money will actually pay off. The company’s still private, CFO Sarah Friar said back in November at a Journal event that an IPO isn’t happening anytime soon. But what happens to OpenAI matters a lot to Nvidia, Microsoft and Oracle. Altman’s memo said work on other stuff is getting delayed. That includes advertising, AI tools for health and shopping, and something called Pulse that was supposed to be a personal assistant. He’s encouraging people to switch teams temporarily and said there will be daily calls for everyone working on ChatGPT fixes. Monday night, Nick Turley who runs ChatGPT posted on X that the focus now is growing the chatbot and making it “even more intuitive and personal.” No profit path without massive…

The quiet repricing of risk in post-CeFi DeFi

The quiet repricing of risk in post-CeFi DeFi

The post The quiet repricing of risk in post-CeFi DeFi appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disclosure: The views and opinions expressed here belong solely to the author and do not represent the views and opinions of crypto.news’ editorial. DeFi used to be associated with speculation and speed, but today it is a far cry from its predecessors. Once characterized by viral token incentives and high yields, the space changed to stability and governance after the implosions of centralized finance intermediaries in 2023/24 and a string of smart contract failures.  Summary DeFi has shifted from speculative, high-yield incentives to a focus on stability, governance, and utility after CeFi collapses and smart contract failures exposed the limits of yield-first growth. Investors now prioritize risk management, transparency, security, and verifiable operations, driving capital toward utility-first protocols offering real services like data availability, settlement, and cross-chain coordination. The market’s “utility repricing” marks DeFi’s maturation: flashy APRs are replaced by durable economic activity, liquidity retention, and returns rooted in genuine protocol performance — not speculative token emissions. The time of chasing yield is over, as the era of weighing up utility is ushered in. A recent European Systemic Risk Board report on non-bank financial intermediation found that mismatches in liquidity and maturity now reflect those of traditional shadow banking systems, exposing limits of yield-first growth.  In tandem, institutional surveys show that capital allocation remains cautious despite rising DeFi adoption, as risk metrics still lag behind returns on investment. Together, these studies shed light on the next step for DeFi, where risk is repriced rather than abandoned. The protocols that generate verifiable utility, hone in on data accessibility, compute orchestration, and efficient real settlement solutions will survive; speculative APRs will not.  The end of the yield illusion In the early days of DeFi, participation equated to profit, with flash loans, staking derivatives, inflated returns, and liquidity mining. All the while, structural…

Santiment Names Six Cryptocurrencies: “These Are the Market’s Most Trending Markets!” – While Bitcoin (BTC) Leads, There Are Surprising Altcoins!

The post Santiment Names Six Cryptocurrencies: “These Are the Market’s Most Trending Markets!” – While Bitcoin (BTC) Leads, There Are Surprising Altcoins! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin and altcoins failed to sustain the recovery they initiated in the final days of November and had a poor start to December. BTC and altcoins experienced sudden and sharp declines on the first day of the week and the first day of the month. The price of BTC fell back to $86,000, while altcoins also experienced significant losses. However, while Bitcoin and altcoins have experienced a slight recovery in the last 24 hours, cryptocurrency analysis company Santiment announced the most popular altcoins in the cryptocurrency world in its latest post. Accordingly, Santiment said that investors showed great interest in altcoins named Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), Chainlink (LINK), Dent (DENT), Polkadot (DOT) and Microstrategy (MSTR).

The cryptocurrencies that have attracted the most attention in the crypto industry and the reasons are listed as follows: Bitcoin: The term “BTC” is trending due to extensive discussions about Bitcoin’s market behavior, investment strategies, and its role in the current bear market. Key points include buying dips, long-term holding, volatility, institutional involvement like MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings, and financial strategies. Bitcoin’s past price cycles are also widely discussed. MicroStrategy: The term ‘MSTR’ is trending due to extensive discussions surrounding MicroStrategy’s financial strategies involving Bitcoin holdings. Key points include concerns about MicroStrategy’s market value relative to Bitcoin’s net asset value, potential Bitcoin sales, and the company’s leveraged position through issuance of stock and debt to acquire Bitcoin. Tether: The word ‘USDT’ is prominently featured in announcements about new trading pairs, new listings, campaigns, and updates from cryptocurrency exchanges. Generally, ‘USDT’ stands out for its stability and widespread use on blockchain networks across the crypto and financial ecosystem. Dent: The word ‘DENT’ has been trending, particularly due…

New Cryptocurrency Price Analysis: This $0.035 DeFi Token Could Rally 900% Following V1 Activation

New Cryptocurrency Price Analysis: This $0.035 DeFi Token Could Rally 900% Following V1 Activation

The post New Cryptocurrency Price Analysis: This $0.035 DeFi Token Could Rally 900% Following V1 Activation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Another emerging trend is shaping around a new altcoin of DeFi Cryptocurrency at a value of $0.035, whose investors are now debating on whether the next V1 launch might create one of the next big runs of 2026. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) has already achieved a good momentum in the development and as the project enters the final offering phases, anticipations of a boom out are building up. Presale Strength and What Mutuum Finance Is Constructing Mutuum Finance started its service in early 2025 at $0.01. Expanding demand at various stages caused the price to go up 250% to $0.035. The project has already raised more than $19M and its community increased to over 18,300 investors.  The protocol tries to create a complete decentralized lending system with organization of collateral principles, earning relying on the lending procedures and open repayment facilities. Mutuum Finance is also presenting itself as a utility-oriented DeFi crypto, intended to be used by users seeking consistency in borrowing and actual APY rather than inspirational features. V1 Activation and Security Measures  Mutuum Finance ensured with its official X account that V1 will also be released in the Sepolia Testnet in Q4 2025. The first version will consist of the liquidity pool, the mtTokens, the liquidation bot and the system of debt-tokens. Launched support will be ETH and USDT. One of the priorities has been security. The project has gone through a CertiK audit where it has scored 90/100 on the Token Scan and Halborn security is currently looking into the contracts which were made final to create more confidence. Due to the gradual increase and the timing, a number of analysts believe that by the activation of V1, MUTM could be in the range of $0.50. This could be a huge early multiplier in the case of an…

How Polymarket war betting is putting civilians at risk by disrupting humanitarian aid maps

It’s a survival tool as much as a news product, funded by donations and backed […] The post How Polymarket war betting is putting civilians at risk by disrupting humanitarian aid maps appeared first on CryptoSlate.
