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.

Nvidia and Deutsche Telekom to build $1.2 billion AI-focused data center in Munich.

Nvidia and Deutsche Telekom to build $1.2 billion AI-focused data center in Munich.

The post Nvidia and Deutsche Telekom to build $1.2 billion AI-focused data center in Munich. appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Nvidia and Deutsche Telekom are collaborating to build a $1.2 billion AI data center as Europe is investing heavily in its AI sector to reduce reliance on U.S. and Chinese technology. Although the planned data center build is smaller than comparable U.S. projects, it is still an important step toward Europe’s AI independence, with the potential to lead to further investments across the region. Nvidia commits as Europe attempts to build AI infrastructure Nvidia Corp. and Deutsche Telekom AG are preparing to reveal their plans for a €1 billion, about $1.2 billion, data center in Munich, Germany. SAP SE, Europe’s largest software company, has been teased as one of its first major customers. The announcement will likely come some time next month in Berlin by Deutsche Telekom Chief Executive Officer Tim Höttges, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, SAP CEO Christian Klein, and German Digital Minister Karsten Wildberger. The new data center will expand Europe’s computing power as the region attempts to address concerns of falling behind American and Chinese tech firms, which are already ahead in pouring vast resources into AI infrastructure. In the United States, Microsoft Corp. and Google’s parent Alphabet Inc. have committed hundreds of billions of dollars to build AI-focused data centers. These massive projects are designed to handle the energy-hungry demands of training and running generative AI models. Even though the Nvidia and Deutsche Telekom data center isn’t as big as some in the U.S., it shows that Europe wants to build its own AI systems and store its own data, instead of depending on foreign tech companies. It also helps make sure European data stays safe and follows the region’s strict privacy laws. Europe’s catch-up strategy The Munich project is expected to use around 10,000 of Nvidia’s most advanced graphics processing units (GPUs), which are the…

Crypto News: Cardano Faces Selling Pressure as Whales Dump 350 Million ADA, Here’s Where the Capital Is Flowing

Crypto News: Cardano Faces Selling Pressure as Whales Dump 350 Million ADA, Here’s Where the Capital Is Flowing

The post Crypto News: Cardano Faces Selling Pressure as Whales Dump 350 Million ADA, Here’s Where the Capital Is Flowing appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In a stunning market turnaround dominating crypto news headlines, Cardano (ADA) is experiencing fresh selling pressures as on-chain metrics indicate that more than 350 million ADA coins have been offloaded by large whale wallets within the last week. And in this case, most of that liquidity does not seem to be going into blue-chip token initiatives but rather into soon-to-launch presale initiatives that offer more appealing short-term growth prospects. The one name that keeps recurring among investors as well as analysts is Mutuum Finance (MUTM), a rapidly expanding DeFi project already in Phase 6 of presale with over 75% of the tokens sold off already at $0.035 per token. Mutuum Finance is being talked about as the top crypto to buy as capital is moving away from legacy networks such as Cardano to next-gen DeFi platforms. Cardano (ADA) Experiences Whale Dump and Short-Term Weakness Cardano (ADA) faces severe selling pressure following on-chain data showing that whales dumped more than 350 million ADA, a development which has accelerated concerns of short-term weakness in the market. The selling comes with a noticeable drop in on-chain activity, giving further significant push to bear pressure already existing surrounding ADA. Though not all signals are negative, the pending Hydra 1.0 upgrade may ameliorate some of this downside risk by greatly enhancing scalability and network speed, hence reviving investor confidence. However, as ADA is weathering this stormy period, all but the most stalwart investors already are turning to alternatives elsewhere for more near-term upside, most notably towards newer opportunities such as Mutuum Finance (MUTM), which is rapidly making waves as funds move into high-growth projects highlighted in crypto news. Presale Momentum Increases Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is a favorite among investors in its phased presale model. Phase 6 is racing along rapidly with tokens at $0.035, a…

Private Markets Meet Blockchain: $IPO Presale 2025 Breakout

Private Markets Meet Blockchain: $IPO Presale 2025 Breakout

The post Private Markets Meet Blockchain: $IPO Presale 2025 Breakout appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disclaimer: This article is a sponsored post provided by a third party. It is not part of editorial content and should not be considered financial advice. IPO Genie bridges blockchain, AI, and private markets, flipping the script on access by bringing institutional-grade opportunities to everyday investors. For decades, private markets have operated in the shadows. Deals worth billions were struck behind closed doors, with information available only to insiders. The lack of transparency wasn’t a flaw; it was a feature. Retail investors were locked out, while institutions took the lion’s share of upside. That’s about to change. IPO Genie, the latest entrant in the AI-powered token economy, is bringing private markets to the blockchain. With its $IPO presale, launching this year, everyday investors finally get a shot at startups, pre-IPOs, and hedge fund-grade opportunities that were once the exclusive domain of Wall Street. From Opaque Ledgers to Immutable Records Blockchain in private markets isn’t a pipe dream anymore; it’s already starting to take root. Imagine immutable, time-stamped, and publicly accessible records of fund ownership, capital contributions, and even secondary trading activity, if tokenised. Suddenly, what was previously hidden in legacy databases becomes visible in real-time. This kind of granularity can’t be matched by traditional infrastructure. It flips private investing from insider whispers to on-chain transparency. And for a platform like IPO Genie, this data isn’t just record-keeping; it’s an entirely new source of intelligence. AI Deal Discovery: Seeing Patterns Before They Hit the Headlines IPO Genie isn’t just moving private markets onto the blockchain; it’s layering AI on top of that on-chain data. Why does this matter? Because patterns that usually take months to surface in press releases or quarterly filings can now be detected in days. AI can scan emerging on-chain signals, early fundraising activity, co-investor overlaps, capital flows…

Decentralized exchange dYdX released a post-mortem and community update detailing plans to compensate traders affected by a chain halt that paused operations for roughly eight hours during last month’s market crash.The exchange said on Monday that its governance community will vote on compensating affected traders with up to $462,000 from the protocol’s insurance fund.DYdX wrote that the Oct. 10 outage stemmed “from a misordered code process, and its duration was exacerbated by delays in validators restarting their oracle sidecar services.” According to the DEX, when the chain resumed, “the matching engine processed trades/liquidations at incorrect prices due to stale oracle data.”Read more

The AI Race Is An Energy Race, And Regions With Nat Gas Are Winning

The AI Race Is An Energy Race, And Regions With Nat Gas Are Winning

The post The AI Race Is An Energy Race, And Regions With Nat Gas Are Winning appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Countries and companies in the AI race are increasingly realizing they are in an energy race. On some days, it seems as if AI is driving energy, with AI data centers representing the most significant new power demand growth in decades. On other days, it seems as if energy is driving AI, with the largest technology companies scrambling to secure power and even vertically integrating to avoid external energy constraints. Whether AI or energy was in the driver’s seat was one of the questions at the SAIT AI Summit this past week, in Calgary, Alberta, the energy hub of Canada, as executives from major energy companies spoke about using AI tools while also working to supply the energy this technology requires. “Energy companies are in the unique position of deploying artificial intelligence internally to enhance operations, while also providing energy to data centers powering this transformational shift in technology. Across our events and programs, we are seeing more integration and implementation of artificial intelligence at the executive level within the energy sector,” said Lora Bucsis at SAIT, Director, Product and Learner Success. The increasing overlap between tech and energy is a welcome change for the energy sector, with the largest companies in the world, from Alphabet to Meta, now deploying all their cash, and then some, into the physical economy. Commodities have not benefited from a true capex boom in decades, but this is now changing. Goldman estimates that capex spending amongst the S&P 500 will accelerate by 17% this coming year, driven primarily by data centers and associated power needs. Returns on AI have so far not kept up with the level of investment, but unique dynamics may sustain capital spending regardless of immediate returns. Governments view AI advantages as existential, so there is nothing stopping governments from printing…

(Photo by Paul-Henri Cahier/Getty Images) Getty Images After a 30-year absence, Africa is making renewed efforts to return to the Formula 1 calendar. Several countries are preparing bids, with South Africa intensifying its push to host once again, as recently reported by Bloomberg. If successful, this would mark a major step toward reviving the Kyalami Grand Prix, which last held an F1 race in 1993, won by Alain Prost. South Africa faces competition from Morocco, Rwanda, and Nigeria, each of which is preparing bids to host the continent’s first Grand Prix in decades. With fundraising, infrastructure upgrades, and government backing all in play, the spotlight is firmly on Africa as it edges closer to a historic motorsport return. South Africa: The $100 Million Push Alain Prost, Grand Prix of South Africa, Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, March 14, 1993. (Photo by Paul-Henri Cahier/Getty Images) Getty Images South Africa’s attempt to reclaim a place on the F1 calendar is facing its decisive moment. According to Bloomberg, the government, via the Department of Sport, Arts & Culture and under Minister Gayton McKenzie, is in talks with at least six private companies to secure approximately US$100 million in commitments to fund the hosting of F1 races over three years. These pledges are pivotal in persuading the national treasury to underwrite the bid. This development marks a more concrete step than previous announcements that focused broadly on “raising funds,” and underscores that the bid is now at the commercial fundraising phase. The funding would primarily cover the payments required by Formula One Management Ltd. (FOM) for hosting rights, not just infrastructure upgrades. Meanwhile, the Kyalami circuit has received approval from the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) for its…

Berkshire Hathaway downgraded as Buffett exit sparks rare sell call from KBW

Berkshire Hathaway downgraded as Buffett exit sparks rare sell call from KBW

The post Berkshire Hathaway downgraded as Buffett exit sparks rare sell call from KBW appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. According to a note from Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Berkshire Hathaway just got hit with something it rarely ever sees: a sell call. The brokerage downgraded Warren Buffett’s company from neutral to underperform, saying a perfect storm of executive uncertainty and business-specific problems could hurt both earnings and stock performance in the year ahead. This is what happens when the man called “the greatest investor alive” and “the Oracle of Omaha” finally steps off the stage. The new price target on Berkshire’s Class A shares has been cut from $740,000 to $700,000, around 5% below where it closed on Friday at $738,500. “Beyond our ongoing concerns surrounding macro uncertainty and Berkshire’s historically unique succession risk … we think the shares will underperform as earnings challenges emerge and/or persist,” wrote analyst Meyer Shields in the client note. Warren, who has run Berkshire for way over six decades, announced in May that he’s stepping down as CEO at the end of the year. He’s 95. This decision didn’t just unsettle investors; it cracked the floor. Berkshire’s stock has already dropped from all-time highs, and KBW believes part of the decline is tied to what they called the “Buffett premium,” the price investors were always willing to pay simply because Warren was the one steering the ship. Without him, they’re not sure who or what they’re really investing in anymore. Geico, BNSF, and energy units face performance pressure KBW said that Berkshire’s core businesses are not showing the strength they used to. The auto insurance unit Geico, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad, and the massive energy segment are all facing different types of pressure, and they’re happening all at once. It’s a mix of short-term market cycles and deeper long-term issues. On the insurance side, the firm pointed to softer investment income…
