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.

Chainlink Exchange Balances Hit Multi-Year Lows as SBI Partnership Announced

Chainlink Exchange Balances Hit Multi-Year Lows as SBI Partnership Announced

The post Chainlink Exchange Balances Hit Multi-Year Lows as SBI Partnership Announced appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SBI Digital Markets selects Chainlink as exclusive infrastructure provider for asset tokenization. LINK exchange supply falls to 143.5 million tokens, lowest level since October 2019. Partnership enables compliant tokenized real-world assets across public and private blockchains. SBI Digital Markets, the digital asset division of Japan’s SBI Group managing over $78.65 billion in assets, has selected Chainlink as its exclusive infrastructure provider. The strategic partnership arrives as the network unveils new technological developments and LINK exchange balances reach multi-year lows. According to the announcement, SBI Digital Markets will integrate Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol. This integration will enable the firm to support compliant and interoperable tokenized real-world assets that can transfer seamlessly across both public and private blockchain networks. We’re excited to announce that SBI Digital Markets (SBIDM)—the digital asset arm of Japan’s leading conglomerate SBI Group with ¥10+ trillion AUM—is adopting Chainlink as its exclusive infrastructure solution to power its digital assets platform.https://t.co/2RBuATPf7S Through… pic.twitter.com/QMsK192IJD — Chainlink (@chainlink) November 6, 2025 Privacy features protect transaction data Chainlink stated that by utilizing CCIP Private Transactions, SBI Digital Markets can prevent third parties from accessing private information including transaction amounts and counterparty details. The Japanese firm is also evaluating Chainlink’s Automated Compliance Engine to enforce policy-based compliance across multiple jurisdictions. This development forms part of SBI Digital Markets’ plan to evolve into a comprehensive digital asset ecosystem supporting issuance, distribution, settlement, and secondary market trading activities. The partnership builds upon previous collaboration between SBI Group and Chainlink, including work under the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Project Guardian alongside UBS Asset Management.

Why 43% of hedge funds plan integration with DeFi

Why 43% of hedge funds plan integration with DeFi

The post Why 43% of hedge funds plan integration with DeFi appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. For years, DeFi occupied the edges of institutional strategy, a curiosity for crypto-native funds, and a compliance headache for everyone else. However, regulatory moves are slowly changing this stance. Among traditional hedge funds already holding digital assets, 43% now plan to expand into DeFi over the next three years, primarily through tokenised funds, tokenised assets, and direct platform engagement. Nearly 33% of this group expects DeFi to disrupt their current operations in ways that necessitate adaptation, rather than just incremental adjustments. The same dataset shows that 55% of traditional hedge funds now hold some crypto exposure, up from 47% in 2024. The numbers are from the 2025 Global Crypto Hedge Fund Report, published by AIMA and PwC on Nov. 5. The report surveyed 122 managers and investors representing $982 billion in assets. Of those hedge funds invested in crypto, 71% plan to increase their allocations over the next twelve months. The pattern is that managers first normalized Bitcoin, Ethereum, and exchange-traded products. Now, they are mapping how to plug into on-chain liquidity, programmable collateral, and composable infrastructure. DeFi is no longer hypothetical; it is part of the three-year plan. Efficiency gains against operational unknowns The appeal rests on the assumption that on-chain rails can do things that centralized systems cannot, or cannot do well. Derivatives remain the dominant instrument for traditional funds with crypto exposure, used by 67% of these funds. These managers live on leverage, hedging, and capital efficiency. The Oct. 10 flash crash, which liquidated over $19 billion in leveraged positions and severely impacted centralized exchanges, left decentralized exchanges comparatively unscathed. Resilience under stress is crucial when your business model relies on liquid, 24/7 markets that remain open throughout weekends and regulatory holidays. But resilience alone does not explain the roadmap placement. DeFi offers programmability, which is represented…
