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.

Crypto Oracle Firm RedStone Acquires DeFi Credit Specialist Credora

Crypto Oracle Firm RedStone Acquires DeFi Credit Specialist Credora

The post Crypto Oracle Firm RedStone Acquires DeFi Credit Specialist Credora appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. RedStone, a provider of oracle data feeds for blockchains, is buying Credora, an on-chain credit rating platform backed by Coinbase Ventures, S&P, and Hashkey, among others. The financial terms of the deal were not revealed. The oracle-powered risk rating framework for assets and yield strategies focused on decentralized finance (DeFi) will operate under the new brand Credora by RedStone, the companies said in a press release on Thursday. Data shows that the growth of rated DeFi strategies (i.e., Morpho Vaults) outpaces unrated strategies by as much as 25%, validating user utility, RedStone pointed out. The acquisition aims to do for decentralized markets what the likes of S&P and Moody’s do in traditional markets, RedStone said. “Ratings are a natural extension of our services: we gather and deliver data on-chain, and transparent ratings transform it into actionable intelligence,” said Marcin Kazmierczak, co-founder of RedStone. “As DeFi yield strategies grow more complex, users need a simple way to navigate beyond headline APYs. Ratings provide that clarity. This is a foundational step towards making DeFi safer and ready for institutional scale,” he said. Credora’s co-founders, Darshan Vaidya and Matt Ficke, join RedStone as strategic advisors, assisting with integration and adoption. “Another crucial point is that RedStone has been growing in the RWA and tokenization space where a lot of risks are not obvious to quantify, i.e. with tokenized private credit or tokenized stocks,” Kazmierczak added. “We will be working to help investors and DeFi actors to navigate that space with our ratings that will be a great supportive tool for institutions like banks going into crypto,” he noted.

Novogratz Backs AI Agents, DeepSnitch AI Rockets

Novogratz Backs AI Agents, DeepSnitch AI Rockets

The post Novogratz Backs AI Agents, DeepSnitch AI Rockets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz, in a recent interview with Bloomberg, predicted that AI agents will soon become the biggest users of stablecoins. Many consider this an interesting perspective, but most importantly, it creates a shift in how many expect the crypto economy to change, with stablecoins not just serving humans but entire AI systems. That backdrop makes the current market conversation around the best AI crypto to buy now even more urgent. Newer projects are emerging with better narratives for the coming wave of AI adoption. Among them, DeepSnitch AI is becoming one of the best AI presale tokens of 2025. Its focus on real-world trading utility and retail protection stands out in a market where many AI tokens still pitch abstract future promises. Novogratz on AI and stablecoins  In his interview, Mike Novogratz outlined a vision where AI agents move beyond simple chat interfaces into autonomous financial actors. He suggested that in just a few years, the most active stablecoin users won’t be people but AI agents.  In essence, these agents will handle transactions on behalf of their human counterparts. Imagine an AI that knows your grocery preferences, monitors your diet, and automatically executes purchases. They would do all this without requiring you to log into an app or swipe a card. Instead of sending traditional wire instructions or using consumer apps like Venmo, these agents would default to stablecoins. This forecast is especially relevant as both the US and Europe are tightening regulatory frameworks for stablecoins. In Washington, lawmakers recently advanced the GENIUS Act to establish oversight for dollar-backed tokens. Meanwhile, in Europe, European Central Bank president Christine Lagarde has urged caution around non-EU stablecoins operating within the bloc.  But the bottom line is simple: if Novogratz is right, the increase in stablecoin transactions will be led…

Onchain AI agents move from demo to deployment

Onchain AI agents move from demo to deployment

The post Onchain AI agents move from demo to deployment appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Onchain AI agents are edging out of the lab.  Lit Protocol’s agent stack, Vincent, now gives developers a way to ship non-custodial automation that actually touches money, but under explicit, enforceable limits set by users and app authors. An “early access” launch just went live, Blockworks has learned exclusively. Lit frames the core model simply: policies (guardrails) and abilities (discrete actions like swap/borrow/bridge) that are bound together at deploy time and enforced at runtime, according to co-founder David Sneider. “Vincent Policies (the guardrails and controls) are created and exposed by Vincent application developers based on any given use case,” Sneider told Blockworks. “For example, a trading app might expose a ‘spend policy’ or ‘token allowlist policy,’ which users would be able to fine-tune based on their own needs and preferences.” Under the hood, Vincent rides on Lit’s existing “defense-in-depth” key model: Threshold-split keys run inside secure enclaves (TEEs), and the enclaves execute only when an onchain policy check passes. In practice, that means permissions like spend caps, allowlists, time windows and rate limits are evaluated before any signing or contract call occurs. A key recent improvement is how easily developers can now package and enforce those rules through Vincent at the point of execution. According to examples from a “starter kit,” developers can define and expose app-specific policies as needed; the platform now supports both narrowly scoped and broader smart-contract permissions, with one-line SDK calls to invoke them. In Sneider’s view, the job is to let agents act, but only inside well-defined lanes. That’s effective, according to David Johnson, the lead code maintainer at Morpheus, which has built in Lit Protocol as part of its reference open-source agent work. “MPC enables good spending caps, whitelists of agents, and limited time approvals for agents to access user funds,” Johnson told Blockworks.…

CFTC Veteran Warns of Underregulated Prediction Markets

CFTC Veteran Warns of Underregulated Prediction Markets

The post CFTC Veteran Warns of Underregulated Prediction Markets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Outgoing CFTC Commissioner Kristin Johnson ended her tenure with a warning on prediction markets. Her remarks come amid the sector’s boom in crypto and traditional finance (TradFi). However, Johnson’s comments suggested that prediction markets could become the next financial Wild West if left unchecked. Prediction Markets Boom, but Johnson Warns of ‘Too Few Guardrails’ Sponsored Sponsored Speaking Wednesday at the Brookings Institution, Johnson cautioned that there are too few guardrails and too little visibility into the prediction market space. While issuing this warning, the outgoing CFTC commissioner expressed concern that these platforms are beginning to capture unprecedented volumes of retail cash. Her remarks landed the same day the CFTC issued a no-action letter clearing Polymarket to reenter the US. As BeInCrypto reported, a $112 million acquisition of regulated exchange QCEX facilitates Polymarket’s return to the US, enabling a significant reversal from the platform’s previous ban. Meanwhile, Johnson’s exit mirrors the dilemma regulators face, with prediction markets no longer fringe experiments but fast-rising financial platforms. Companies like Kalshi and Polymarket are transforming odds into an asset class. They offer markets on elections, economic data, and even cultural events. Investors increasingly see them as tools for both speculation and collective forecasting. Sponsored Sponsored However, Johnson warned that innovation without safeguards risks repeating past crises. She invoked the 2022 collapses of Terra/Luna, Celsius, and the FTX exchange. Further, Johnson pointed to the dangers of crypto-celebrities building exchanges without governance. “We’ve seen this movie (or bankruptcy) before,” she said. According to the outgoing CFTC commissioner, underregulated firms could again funnel retail customers into devastating losses. More closely, Johnson flagged the trend of firms renting or buying licenses to fast-track event contracts, only to pivot into new products with minimal oversight. Sponsored Sponsored She framed consumer protection and market stability as the twin pillars of…

Flare, EasyA, and XRPL to host a crypto hackathon

The post Flare, EasyA, and XRPL to host a crypto hackathon appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Flare, a full-stack Layer 1 (L1) solution, is joining forces with EasyA and XRPL Commons to host a 36-hour hackathon at Harvard University on September 20–21, 2025, as per the most recent info shared with Finbold on Thursday, September 3. The event will gather 200 developers and focus on Flare’s interoperability protocols and the ways XRP Ledger (XRPL) can power the next wave of decentralized finance (DeFi). With a $35,000 prize pool at stake, participants will gain hands-on cross-chain development experience across cross-chain finance and real-world assets, composable decentralized applications (dApps) and interoperable infrastructure, as well as consumer-focused apps.  In addition, Flare engineers will help participants familiarize themselves with technologies such as Flare’s FAassets, programmable liquidity, smart accounts, decentralized oracles, and XRPL-controlled accounts. XRPL has long been recognized for its speed, liquidity, and robust support for tokenization, while Flare brings secure interoperability and decentralized data capabilities.  Together, the two platforms aim to introduce new advancements in areas such as event-driven yield products and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). “The XRPL stands out for speed, liquidity, and its enterprise-grade infrastructure. Integrating Flare brings true composability, expanding our foundation into a full-fledged DeFi ecosystem,” said Odelia Torteman, Director of Corporate Adoption, XRPL Commons The initiative builds on Flare’s ongoing partnership with EasyA, the Web3 education platform that has been onboarding developers through its #60DaysOfFlare campaign, which has already brought numerous programmers to Flare’s technology stack. Max Luck, Head of Growth at Flare, thus described the hackathon as creating “a direct loop between the XRPL and Flare infrastructure.” Source: https://finbold.com/flare-easya-and-xrpl-to-host-a-crypto-hackathon/
