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.

Alibaba joins Big Tech in AI arms race with $50B spending pledge, stock hits 4-year high

Alibaba joins Big Tech in AI arms race with $50B spending pledge, stock hits 4-year high

The post Alibaba joins Big Tech in AI arms race with $50B spending pledge, stock hits 4-year high appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Alibaba raised its bet on artificial intelligence around twenty-four hours ago, and the company’s stock surged by 8% to close, hitting a level not seen in nearly four years, after CEO Eddie Wu said on stage in Hangzhou that the company is spending more than the $53 billion it had previously committed. He didn’t say how much more, but he made it clear it won’t be small. Eddie told the crowd that global AI spending could reach $4 trillion over the next five years. He said Alibaba has to match the pace or risk falling behind. That alone moved the market. The company’s U.S.-listed ADRs spiked fast. That’s how serious investors are taking this arms race. Alibaba is now chasing the same wave Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta are riding, all expected to pour $364 billion into AI next year, way up from the $325 billion they estimated before. Alibaba launches Qwen3-Omni and partners with Nvidia Eddie also announced the launch of Qwen3-Omni, an open-source model that handles text, audio, images, and video. It’s built for generative AI, which has become the heart of every major tech push this year. This model is part of Alibaba’s goal to build out its own AI stack, from software to silicon. The company also signed a deal with Nvidia to use its training tools for robotics and self-driving vehicles. No dollar figure was given, but the deal matters. The U.S. has made it harder for Chinese companies to buy Nvidia’s chips. So Alibaba is working around it. Other Chinese firms are also building domestic chips to replace U.S. tech. That includes the ones used to train and run these large AI systems. Eddie said the company is aiming to become a “full-stack” AI provider, and that includes its own chips. Right now, its…

The use of such verification systems by projects in the Chainlink ecosystem is growing, with a similar implementation recently launched for a stablecoin pegged to the Korean Won. Security for Institutional Traders The partnerships with Ceffu and Copper are focused on providing enhanced security for institutional clients. Both firms will offer “off-exchange settlement,” a feature that allows large firms to trade on an exchange. At the same time, their assets remain in a separate, third-party custody vault. Despite reducing decentralization,…

Sen. Warren accuses Rolex of courting Trump to dodge tariffs, cites Apple and Nvidia playbook

Sen. Warren accuses Rolex of courting Trump to dodge tariffs, cites Apple and Nvidia playbook

The post Sen. Warren accuses Rolex of courting Trump to dodge tariffs, cites Apple and Nvidia playbook appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Senator Elizabeth Warren just dropped a grenade on Rolex. On Wednesday, she sent a letter to CEO Jean-Frederic Dufour calling out the Swiss watchmaker for hosting President Donald Trump at their midcourt box during the U.S. Open. The invite, she said, looks like a play to wiggle out of the 39% tariff Trump slapped on Swiss exports in August. The letter didn’t leave much room for guessing. “This invite… raises questions about whether you are cultivating a relationship with President Trump in attempts to secure lucrative tariff exemptions for Rolex products,” Elizabeth wrote. She said Rolex could be copying the playbook of companies like Apple and Nvidia. Both tech giants announced domestic investments shortly after Trump returned to the White House in January. And earlier this month, Trump brought in top tech execs for a White House dinner. The pattern, she implied, isn’t subtle: flatter Trump, sit close, and maybe get a special deal. The letter followed a very public appearance. Trump was seen sitting right next to Dufour during the men’s championship match at the U.S. Open. He didn’t come alone. His family members were there. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent showed up. So did Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. NBC News reported the whole crew was packed into Rolex’s luxury suite. Trump sets a 39% tariff while Swatch trolls with a limited-edition watch That same month, Trump hit Switzerland with a 39% export levy, way higher than what the European Union and the U.K. are facing. That means Swiss watchmakers like Rolex are now in a jam. Either take the hit or pass the cost to U.S. buyers. Analyst Luca Solca at Bernstein told clients that “the last minute deal that many had hoped for didn’t materialize.” That deal was supposed to avoid exactly this. But it fell through. While…

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent showed up. So did Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. NBC News reported the whole crew was packed into Rolex’s luxury suite. Trump sets a 39% tariff while Swatch trolls with a limited-edition watch That same month, Trump hit Switzerland with a 39% export levy, way higher than what the European Union and the U.K. are facing. That means Swiss watchmakers like Rolex are now in a jam. Either take the hit or pass the cost to U.S. buyers. Analyst Luca Solca at Bernstein told clients that “the last minute deal that many had hoped for didn’t materialize.” That deal was supposed to avoid exactly this. But it fell through. While Rolex played the court-side game, Swatch pulled a PR stunt. They launched a watch with the numbers 3 and 9 flipped. From left to right? It read “39.” A company spokesperson told CNBC the model would be sold only until the U.S. changes its tariff stance. That was it. No letter. No tennis. Just a quiet middle finger in watch form. Elizabeth, though, didn’t let Rolex slide. “Given the President’s record of doling out special treatment to CEOs who are able to woo him with flattery, payoffs, or both, the timing of his attendance at the match in the Rolex box is concerning,” she said. Not everyone appreciated her tone. White House spokesman Kush Desai fired back, saying, “Pocahontas should find a better use of her time than conjuring up asinine conspiracy theories.” U.S. eyes China aircraft deal as TikTok deal moves forward Meanwhile, on the global trade front, Bessent went on Fox Business on Wednesday to say the U.S. has “levers” when it comes to China. He said those include aircraft engines, chemicals, plastics, and silicon parts. A day earlier, U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue said China is finalizing “a huge order” of Boeing planes. Bessent called it a possible “centerpiece” for a broader deal. The deal talk didn’t stop with planes. Trump and China’s President Xi Jinping spoke on Friday. After that call, Trump announced an agreement to spin off TikTok’s U.S. operations. The White House later said Oracle would be part of the investor group taking over. That puts another tech company on the frontlines of Trump’s global trade shuffle. As the White House trades favors, tariffs, and TikTok shares, Elizabeth is now demanding to know if Rolex just made itself the latest company to kiss the ring. And if so, she wants receipts.

How Flare Network Finally Unlocks XRP's $200B DeFi Potential Through Revolutionary FAssets System

How Flare Network Finally Unlocks XRP's $200B DeFi Potential Through Revolutionary FAssets System

Flare Network launched FAssets on mainnet, enabling XRP holders to access DeFi through FXRP tokens backed by overcollateralized agents. The system underwent extensive security audits and launches with conservative caps (5M FXRP initially). While addressing a real need for XRP's $27B market cap to enter DeFi, success depends on achieving sufficient adoption to justify ongoing development costs and competition with established cross-chain solutions.
