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.

Lunate is in talks to commit up to $1 billion to Abu Dhabi’s state-backed AI investor MGX

Lunate is in talks to commit up to $1 billion to Abu Dhabi’s state-backed AI investor MGX

The post Lunate is in talks to commit up to $1 billion to Abu Dhabi’s state-backed AI investor MGX appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Abu Dhabi-based asset manager Lunate is exploring a potential capital commitment of up to $1 billion with MGX, the emirate’s state-backed artificial intelligence investment vehicle, as the Gulf state intensifies its push to dominate global AI financing. The discussions are ongoing, and no final decisions have been made, according to the people familiar with the matter, as reported by Bloomberg. Abu Dhabi’s growing AI investment machine MGX has positioned itself as a major player in artificial intelligence infrastructure since G42 and Mubadala Investment Co. established the venture in March 2024. The firm, which is led by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE’s national security adviser, was launched with aspirations to oversee $100 billion in assets and has been able to assemble a portfolio spanning the AI ecosystem’s most valuable companies. MGX has stakes in OpenAI and has also committed capital to Elon Musk’s xAI venture. Earlier in the year, it joined the Stargate Project alongside OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle. MGX has a $30 billion collaboration with Microsoft and BlackRock to develop data infrastructure for AI applications. The firm concentrates its investments across three domains, which are the physical infrastructure required for AI computing, semiconductor design and production capabilities, and the software and applications layer, including life sciences and robotics. However, its checks are not limited to those areas, as it reportedly invested $2 billion in the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, earlier this year. Binance reportedly called the deal its first institutional investment. Bloomberg reported in August that MGX was preparing to raise as much as $25 billion from third-party investors. Lunate’s rise and links to the Sheikh Since its establishment two years ago, Lunate has put $13.5 billion to work across global markets, following a $17 billion raise for its primary investment vehicles in 2024.

Gnosis fires treasury manager with 88% backing

Gnosis fires treasury manager with 88% backing

The post Gnosis fires treasury manager with 88% backing appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gnosis, the DAO behind Safe, CoW Swap, Gnosis Chain and Gnosis Pay, has voted to fire its treasury management partner KPK, with 88% voting in favor. Proposal GIP-143 cites “extensive community discussions” about KPK’s “performance, cost, risk exposure, and alignment with DAO objectives.” The GnosisDAO treasury is valued at over $175 million, according to DeFiLlama data. KPK, formerly Karpatkey, began as part of Gnosis before spinning-off into a separate entity last year. In a recent update, made on the same day as GIP-143, KPK detailed its efforts to cut costs from “$6.3 million in 2024 [to] $2.2 million in 2025 to date.” It also promised to “clarify scope” by limiting focus to “treasury and liquidity management.” Read more: Gauntlet’s $2.3M contract renewal with Compound faces backlash Complaints However, the cost-savings appear to be too little, too late. Gnosis forum users pointed to “highly contentious” fees of 1% of AUM and 20% of yield generated (2022’s GIP-58). One user referred to past discussions over underperformance against benchmark assets sUSDS from Sky, formerly Maker, and Lido’s wstETH. Another accused KPK of failing to manage concentrated liquidity positions, where “around $8 million is out of range.” In addition to the above, an incident with a EURe/sDAI liquidity pool on Balancer created tensions back in June. The pool was set up by KPK, Gnosis and Balancer, and held DAO funds to facilitate swaps and earn fees. The pool, which acted as “the primary source of liquidity for GnosisPay,” was configured with an oracle which only updated every three hours and not on weekends. The user who notified Gnosis forum estimated that $700,000 was lost to arbitrage of the lagging prices. The post notes KPK’s (and Balancer’s) “catastrophic” incident management, while KPK apologized and promised a refund, including a bounty for the user who flagged…

3 Coins Poised to Explode Amid Global Adoption of Government-Backed Crypto Funds

3 Coins Poised to Explode Amid Global Adoption of Government-Backed Crypto Funds

The post 3 Coins Poised to Explode Amid Global Adoption of Government-Backed Crypto Funds appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A substantial amount of money is being invested in digital assets. Governments around the world are either launching or giving the green light to crypto-related investment funds. As Wall Street and traditional finance start dipping their toes into blockchain, investors are scrambling to figure out which tokens will actually ride this next wave of adoption.  Here are three cryptocurrencies that stand to benefit from the influx of fresh capital from these government-backed funds into the market. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Layer-2 Meme with Utility and Virality in one Ecosystem Beyond large-cap infrastructure plays, Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is emerging as a cultural and technological hybrid in the meme sector. While most meme coins rely solely on virality, Little Pepe adds tangible utility through an Ethereum Layer-2 network optimized for meme token economies. This Layer-2 framework enables ultra-fast, gas-free, and bot-resistant transactions, a significant improvement for smaller creators and communities launching new projects. The ecosystem’s Pump Pad, a launchpad for meme projects, and its 0% tax model make it an accessible hub for retail participants. The project’s ongoing presale, currently in Stage 13, has attracted intense attention, with over $27.46 million raised and 16.65 billion tokens sold. This indicates growing anticipation ahead of exchange listings. To amplify engagement, the team introduced two major campaigns: a $777K giveaway, where ten winners receive $77,000 each in LILPEPE, and a Mega Giveaway offering up to 5 ETH to top buyers, along with random ETH rewards. These initiatives have helped Little Pepe become one of the most discussed presales of 2025. As a meme project with real-world infrastructure, LILPEPE combines culture, scalability, and community —three drivers that have historically defined breakout moments in the cryptocurrency market. Aster (ASTER): Whale accumulation and CZ’s backing Understanding where influential investors are placing their bets often gives an early clue to…

Larry Page Passes Larry Ellison Becoming World’s Second-Richest

The post Larry Page Passes Larry Ellison Becoming World’s Second-Richest appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline Google cofounder Larry Page passed Oracle’s Larry Ellison on Monday to become the world’s second-richest person, as parent firm Alphabet’s stock continued a weekslong rally fueled by AI momentum. The Google parent’s stock has accelerated over the last week and is now valued more than Microsoft. Copyright 2019 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. Key Facts Shares of Alphabet advanced 5.8% to around $317 as trading opened Monday, following an 8.4% rally for the stock last week that pushed its value from just over $276 to just below $300. Oracle’s shares fell 1.5% to below $196 after the stock’s roughly 12% plunge over the previous two trading sessions. Forbes Valuation Page, who cofounded Google with Sergey Brin in 1998, has a net worth estimated at $255 billion after increasing by $8.7 billion on Monday. Page’s wealth has grown exponentially over the last five years, rising from $50.9 billion in 2020 to just over $144 billion to start 2025. Ellison’s net worth has similarly accelerated this year alone after becoming the second person to be worth $400 billion, though his fortune has dropped in value as Oracle shares have declined in recent weeks, bringing Ellison’s net worth to an estimated $248.8 billion. Brin passed Amazon’s Jeff Bezos ($235.1 billion) to become the world’s fourth-richest with a net worth estimated at $236.4 billion.

Headaches grow as AI-related investment drives 50% of US GDP growth in H1 2025

Headaches grow as AI-related investment drives 50% of US GDP growth in H1 2025

The post Headaches grow as AI-related investment drives 50% of US GDP growth in H1 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. AI is now carrying the entire economy, and the scale of it is no longer something anyone can brush aside. The turbulence that hit AI-linked stocks last week showed how exposed the country is, as growth has leaned so heavily on machine-learning spending and the wealth tied to it that a sudden collapse would hit the broader system hard. Business investment linked to AI may have made up half of all inflation-adjusted GDP growth in the first six months of the year. Rising AI stocks have also pushed up household wealth in recent months, and that extra wealth has fed straight into consumer spending. Peter Berezin, chief global strategist at BCA Research, said the picture would look very different without the AI surge. “It’s certainly plausible that the economy would already be in a recession” without the boom, he said. Job creation improved in September, but hiring has slowed through the year. The unemployment rate is rising. Deutsche Bank says private business investment that doesn’t include AI has stayed mostly flat since 2019. And outside data centers, commercial construction has weakened. Shopping centers, office towers; none of them are seeing real action. Big Tech pours money into capex as other investment stalls Stephen Juneau, an economist at Bank of America, said the quiet part out loud: “It’s the only source of investment right now.” And the spending is massive. Bank of America estimates that Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta will pour $344 billion into capital expenditures this year, about 1.1% of GDP, up from $228 billion last year. Barclays estimates that software, data center projects, and computer hardware together boosted GDP growth by roughly one percentage point annualized in the first half of 2025. Most of that came from AI. AI chips, mainly from Nvidia, make up the largest slice…

Enlivex Therapeutics Raises $212M for RAIN Prediction Market Token Treasury Strategy

Enlivex Therapeutics Raises $212M for RAIN Prediction Market Token Treasury Strategy

The post Enlivex Therapeutics Raises $212M for RAIN Prediction Market Token Treasury Strategy appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Enlivex Therapeutics (ENLV), an Israel-based clinical-stage biotech firm, said it’s raising $212 million in a private placement to become the first publicly traded U.S. company to adopt a blockchain-based prediction markets token as its main treasury reserve asset. The token, RAIN, powers a decentralized protocol built on the Arbitrum blockchain that allows users to create and trade predictions markets on real-world events using smart contracts. As with other prediction markets, like Polymarket, traders on Rain can bet on topics ranging from elections to sports, with outcomes settled via oracles or AI-based tools. The platform also includes a deflationary “buyback and burn” mechanism aimed at curbing supply of the RAIN token. Enlivex, which has a $22 million market cap on Nasdaq, plans to buy RAIN tokens with the majority of the funds raised and will use the asset as its core treasury holding. The firm said it sees the growing prediction markets space as a strategic growth area, citing recent investments in competitors like Polymarket and Kalshi by major institutions including the New York Stock Exchange’s parent company and Andreessen Horowitz. At the same time, Enlivex will continue clinical trials for its lead drug candidate, Allocetra, a macrophage therapy for osteoarthritis, according to a press release shared with CoinDesk. The disease affects more than 30 million Americans and lacks treatments that halt joint damage, a gap Allocetra aims to address. Matteo Renzi, Italy’s former prime minister, is expected to join Enlivex’s board following the deal’s close, set for Nov. 25. Last year, the company’s board of directors added bitcoin BTC$86,114.81 to its cash-management strategy, approving the purchase of up to $1 million in the cryptocurrency. It’s unclear how much, if any, BTC the company currently holds. The transaction, priced at $1 per share, represents an 11.5% premium over Enlivex’s last trading…
