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.

Polymarket war bets collide with the maps civilians use to survive

Polymarket war bets collide with the maps civilians use to survive

The post Polymarket war bets collide with the maps civilians use to survive appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The first thing many Ukrainians check in the morning is not Instagram or email, it is a war map. DeepStateMap.Live, a volunteer-built OSINT project, shows which villages are under occupation, where Ukrainian advances hold, and where the front looks fragile. It’s a survival tool as much as a news product, funded by donations and backed by a cooperation agreement with the Ministry of Defense to keep its view of the battlefield accurate. Now imagine that same map, draped over a glossy 3D globe called PolyGlobe, with little icons marking Polymarket contracts like “Will Russia capture Huliaipole by December 31?” When you hover over the bet, the exact neighborhood lights up. The area where someone’s parents live is the area where someone else has “Yes” odds priced to three decimal places. That’s the dichotomy this story lives in: a wartime public good on one side, and a crypto prediction platform with real-money wagers on captured towns on the other. In late November, a Ukrainian tech outlet reported that Pentagon Pizza Watch, the pseudonymous team behind PolyGlobe, had integrated DeepState’s API directly into its war-betting dashboard without permission. The map, the article said, was being pulled into a Polymarket visualization tool so that traders could see shaded control zones, unit icons, and attack arrows directly under their war bets, a “first-of-its-kind OSINT market tracker” built on top of someone else’s wartime infrastructure. Screengrab of the Polyglobe website showing an interactive world map with live locations for open bets on Polymarket on Nov. 28, 2025 (Source: Poly.globe) DeepState UA, the group behind the map, reacted within hours. In a public statement relayed through local media and social channels, they said they had never authorized any betting service to plug into DeepStateMap and called the use of their work in war gambling unacceptable, adding…

Chainlink ETF Set to Launch as Grayscale Converts Trust

Chainlink ETF Set to Launch as Grayscale Converts Trust

The post Chainlink ETF Set to Launch as Grayscale Converts Trust appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. U.S. investors are poised to gain new regulated access to Chainlink ETF exposure this week as Grayscale reshapes one of its existing crypto products. Grayscale converts private Chainlink trust into public ETF Grayscale is preparing to launch the first-ever U.S. spot Chainlink ETF in the coming days, converting its long-running private Chainlink trust into a publicly listed fund. The move will give investors direct exposure to Chainlink (LINK) through a regulated vehicle traded on traditional exchanges. The new ETF will track the spot price of LINK and, where regulations permit, may also capture staking-related returns. Grayscale has operated its Chainlink trust since late 2020. However, the conversion into an exchange-traded fund is designed to open the product to a broader pool of both retail and institutional investors. Nate Geraci, co-founder of the ETF Institute, underscored the significance of the conversion. He noted that it represents a major step forward for crypto investment products in the United States. Moreover, the expected timing of the listing aligns with Bloomberg Intelligence forecasts that anticipate regulatory clearance this week. Rising competition from Bitwise and other asset managers Grayscale’s strategy places the firm in direct competition with Bitwise, which is also preparing a dedicated Chainlink fund. Both asset managers are racing to capture demand from investors seeking transparent, regulated exposure to the oracle-focused LINK token. That said, Grayscale’s earlier entry with a private trust gives it an established track record to leverage. Market observers expect this new wave of single-asset crypto funds to broaden the menu of regulated products available to U.S. portfolios. In particular, the battle between Grayscale and Bitwise highlights how established crypto managers are positioning themselves as demand for specialized digital asset exposure grows. Analysts believe that the spot Chainlink ETF approval window reflects a broader shift among U.S. regulators. Over the…

Why IPO Genie ($IPO) Outperforms Competitors

Why IPO Genie ($IPO) Outperforms Competitors

The post Why IPO Genie ($IPO) Outperforms Competitors appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto Presales Top AI Crypto of 2025, IPO Genie ($IPO) leads with CertiK + Fireblocks + Chainlink security, tokenized real investments, DAO deals, and massive presale demand. Are you ready for the next crypto wave that could rewrite how retail meets venture finance, with billions at stake and a door closing fast? As of December 1, 2025, the crypto world is abuzz: institutional-grade digital assets are surging, and demand for projects. It combines real-world value + AI + compliance has never been higher.  Meanwhile, traditional private-market valuations are climbing by double- to triple-digit billions. Yet remains nearly inaccessible to ordinary investors. In this 2025 crypto market, IPO Genie ($IPO) is not just a competitor, but a frontrunner among the “top AI Crypto” picks of the year. With its triple-stack security (CertiK audit, Fireblocks custody, and Chainlink-verified data feeds). And a rapidly rising presale momentum, IPO Genie offers something that many rival tokens only promise on paper. Indeed, analysts are already calling it “a blueprint for institutional-grade AI token architecture”. But with over $500 million in tokenized assets under management (AUM) backing its private-market offering, the question isn’t if, but when retail investors wake up to this opportunity.  Why IPO Genie Stands Out – Not Just Another AI Token 1. Real Private-Market Access + AI-Driven Deal Sourcing In a year crowded with AI-related tokens, many projects focus on “data tools” or “ML infrastructure.” IPO Genie takes a different, and much more tangible path. IPO’s tokenizes real investments in pre-IPO companies, giving everyday investors exposure to deals that used to be reserved for VCs and hedge funds.  Under the hood, it’s an AI engine, touted as “Sentient Signal Agents”. So, it rapidly scans financial reports, startup performance signals, founder history, and market sentiment. Therefore, this capability helps detect high-potential startups before they…
