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.

Bitwise files for stablecoin and tokenization ETF targeting Thanksgiving launch

Bitwise files for stablecoin and tokenization ETF targeting Thanksgiving launch

The post Bitwise files for stablecoin and tokenization ETF targeting Thanksgiving launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitwise filed a prospectus on Sept. 16 for a stablecoin and tokenization exchange-traded fund (ETF) structured as a 40 Act fund, positioning for potential launch around Thanksgiving. The proposed fund tracks the Bitwise Stablecoin and Tokenization Index through two equally weighted sleeves targeting companies and assets poised to benefit from stablecoin adoption and asset tokenization growth. The equity sleeve allocates up to 50% in companies across five categories: stablecoin issuers, infrastructure providers, payment processors, tokenization exchanges, and stablecoin-oriented retailers. Tiered restrictions Companies face tiered weight restrictions based on business exposure levels. Tier 1 firms with substantial stablecoin business receive 15% caps, Tier 2 companies with material exposure get 8% limits, and Tier 3 entities with limited involvement face 3% restrictions. The fund selects 20 companies from the top two tiers and, if necessary, adds up to 10 Tier 3 companies. The crypto asset sleeve invests in exchange-traded products that provide blockchain infrastructure exposure. The assets must represent at least 1% market share in stablecoins or tokenization. The fund reserves 5% for oracle tokens that connect blockchains to external systems, with the largest constituent capped at 22.5% of the index. The fund rebalances quarterly and concentrates primarily in information technology companies. The preliminary filing does not disclose management fees. As of Sept. 16, Bitwise operated $15 billion in crypto assets across 30 investment products, including spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Fast-tracking approval through the 40 Act Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noted that the prospectus filing used the Investment Company Act of 1940. The 40 Act filings typically face shorter regulatory review periods, potentially allowing launches within months rather than years, which is why Balchunas’ prediction regarding a short approval window is plausible. The structure mirrors filings from REX-Osprey, such as their Dogecoin and XRP ETFs set to launch this week,…

Scott Bessent says Trump’s TikTok ultimatum forced China to cut a deal

Scott Bessent says Trump’s TikTok ultimatum forced China to cut a deal

The post Scott Bessent says Trump’s TikTok ultimatum forced China to cut a deal appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Tuesday that Donald Trump made it clear he was ready to shut down TikTok completely in the U.S., and that decision forced China to make concessions. “President Trump made it clear that he would have been willing to let TikTok go dark, that we were not going to give up national security in favor of the deal,” Scott said in an interview on Squawk Box. The statement came just days before a critical September 17 deadline for ByteDance to divest TikTok’s U.S. operations, or get banned. The deal in question is part of a broader negotiation between the U.S. and China, with both sides trying to find a middle ground on data access, control, and ownership. ByteDance, the Beijing-based parent company, is under pressure to hand over control of the U.S. side of the platform to avoid a full ban. The White House, under Trump’s second term, is now holding firm: no more delays, no more vague promises. Trump and Xi to talk Friday as final details get locked in Scott confirmed from U.S.-China trade talks in Madrid that the two countries have reached a “framework” agreement for TikTok. “It’s between two private parties, but the commercial terms have been agreed upon,” he said. Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are scheduled to speak on Friday to go over the final terms. Trump posted on Truth Social that the agreement involves “a certain company that young people in our Country very much wanted to save.” The app has millions of users in the U.S., but that didn’t stop Congress from banning it from app stores last year, labeling it a “foreign adversary-controlled application.” Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told reporters Monday that the September 17 deadline might need to be pushed slightly to wrap up the…
