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.

volumes at 3,000 billion and market cap at 284.6 billion

The post volumes at 3,000 billion and market cap at 284.6 billion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. According to Artemis, in August the on-chain volumes of stablecoins approached ~3 trillion dollars (approximately +92% month over month), while the aggregated market capitalization reached 284.6 billion dollars, as reported by DeFiLlama. This acceleration indicates increasing liquidity, broader adoption, and a rapidly maturing ecosystem. It should be noted that the dynamic is not uniform across all networks, but the overall signal remains clear. A significant portion of the growth reflects both cross-chain arbitrage flows and an increase in operations related to payment services and derivatives markets. Industry analysts note that the market concentration on USDT (about 59% of the capitalization) has amplified the impact of supply and demand movements. Data and percentages refer to August; for real-time values, it is recommended to consult the mentioned dashboards. Trend of the total market cap of the stablecoin market. Source: DefiLlama In brief Market cap stablecoin: $284.6 billion, with an increase of approximately $17.5 billion over the month. On-chain volumes: ~$3,000 billion, +92% m/m. Number of transactions: ~1.2 billion, +16.9% m/m. Unique addresses: 41.7 million, approximately +25% m/m. Dominant networks: Ethereum and Tron remain the main liquidity hubs. Market Size and Dynamics of August The stablecoin market closed August at 284.6 billion dollars, an increase of about 17.5 billion compared to the beginning of the month. In parallel, on-chain volumes surged to ~3,000 billion, indicating intense usage across multiple use cases and networks. Consequently, the demand for on-chain dollars remained high despite the volatility of the broader crypto market. This trend is consistent with an expansion of supply and more widespread adoption in DeFi protocols and payments. In this context, operational use ranges from remittances and rapid settlement to liquidity strategies on AMM and derivatives markets.  Ethereum offers the greatest market depth, while Tron captures significant cross-border flows at low costs; at the…

Crypto needs more than launchpads for mass adoption

Crypto needs more than launchpads for mass adoption

The post Crypto needs more than launchpads for mass adoption appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the Empire newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Last week, I wrote about the three killer-est apps of the cycle: Polymarket, Hyperliquid, pump.fun. Notice that none of them is on Base. Base has now had two shots at facilitating a potential killer crypto app already this cycle: AI agent launchpad Virtuals Protocol, the “Wall Street for AI Agents,” and now social media platform Zora, with the latter seeing two decent runs in the past 18 months. Between December 2024 and January 2025 — peak Truth Terminal hype — Virtuals generated almost $11 million in net revenue, according to Blockworks Research data, during which time more than 13,000 different AI agents were tokenized.  Last month: $105,000 revenue; 151 agents launched, even after Virtuals expanded beyond Base to Solana earlier this year. Zora, which supports creator coins and turns every post into a tradable coin, has otherwise arrived at a key inflection point.  On one hand, August was a record month for Zora protocol revenue, reaching $1.3 million, and number of posts, with 1.1 million pieces of content tokenized. But on the weekly scale, revenue has fallen by more than half and stayed there for the past fortnight running, with only $20,000 per day a regular occurrence right now. The total number of posting accounts has also dropped to about 8,000 per day, down 60% from an August 14 peak of 21,000. Of course, it’s too early to call time on Zora, and maybe these ups and downs will become mere blips on the path to mass adoption by content creators and consumers. It’s more likely that both Zora and Virtuals have simply run headfirst into the same wall: There’s just not enough people in crypto who want to do more than trade on exchanges to consistently…
