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.

Another tragedy on Hyperliquid: XPL flash short squeeze, users may lose more than $60 million. When will the whale hunt end?

Another tragedy on Hyperliquid: XPL flash short squeeze, users may lose more than $60 million. When will the whale hunt end?

By Frank, PANews Hyperliquid's HYPE token hit a new high on August 27th, just one day after a carefully orchestrated "flash short squeeze" ravaged the XPL pre-market futures market on Hyperliquid. In less than an hour, the price chart was violently pulled into a near-vertical drop, instantly depleting the accounts of countless short traders while the manipulators walked away with a massive profit exceeding $46 million. This incident quickly sparked a furor in the crypto community, with outcry, anger, and conspiracy theories mingling. People couldn't help but wonder: Was this a random occurrence of extreme market volatility, or a precisely targeted massacre exploiting a protocol vulnerability? And why, at the center of this storm, has Hyperliquid repeatedly become the perfect hunting ground for the nefarious activities of whales? A long-planned "hunt" This seemingly sudden market crash was actually a carefully planned hunt. According to Aiyi's on-chain data tracking, this coordinated attack was carried out by at least four core wallet addresses. The roles and fund deployment of two primary attack addresses are particularly clear: one is an address beginning with 0xb9c0, and the other is an address on DeBank under the username "silentraven." The remaining two addresses played supporting roles. These wallets displayed similar operational behavior. Between the 23rd and 25th, three addresses transferred large amounts of funds to initiate long positions on XPL. Among them, address 0xb9c0, the primary attack address, preemptively deployed $11 million in USDC to open long positions on XPL on Hyperliquid at an average price of around $0.56. The address of DeBank username "silentraven" also established a long position of 21.1 million XPL using $9.5 million in USDT at an average price of $0.56 over the past three days. These addresses invested a combined total of over $20 million, acquiring substantial long positions in batches and at different times within nearly the same price range. Several of these addresses clearly only invested in long positions in XPL after their creation. At around 5:30 am on August 26, when most traders in Asia were still asleep, the hunting moment quietly arrived. The 0xb9c0 address transferred an additional $5 million to the Hyperliquid platform. This indiscriminately pumped up the token's price. In the already extremely thin pre-market for XPL, this capital injection was like a spark in a powder keg, instantly detonating the entire order book. Within minutes, the price of XPL skyrocketed from around $0.60 to $1.80, a surge of over 200%. This short-term surge has several obvious consequences. First, most traders won't have time to increase their margin to raise the liquidation price. Second, even hedging orders with a minimum leverage of 1x will be liquidated. Third, as many short positions are liquidated one by one, forced liquidation buy orders will further drive prices higher, creating the most terrifying "short squeeze" phenomenon in the financial market. Finally, when the price reached its peak, the manipulators began to close their positions at prices between $1.1 and $1.2. According to Aunt Ai’s statistics, this sniping operation brought the manipulators a total profit of over $46 million. The $60 million wail and the platform's "indifference" A feast of capital is inevitably accompanied by the wailing of another group of people. When the manipulators return with a full haul, all that is left for other market participants are bloody losses and endless questions. Crypto KOL @Cbb0fe said that he allocated 10% of his funds to hedge on Hyperliquid, resulting in a loss of $2.5 million. He will never touch the isolated market again. Other media outlets reported that the largest loss at a single address was approximately $7 million. However, they did not provide specific address information, raising questions. However, judging from the profits of the manipulators, the maximum profit at that time was indeed more than 46 million US dollars, and it is not yet known whether there were other undiscovered partners in this process. Judging from the changes in contract positions, before the attack began, the contract holdings of XPL on Hyperliquid reached a maximum of US$153 million, and then quickly plummeted to 22.44 million, with a reduction of more than US$130 million. It is estimated that the overall losses of short position users may reach US$60 million. This loss even surpassed the $11 million in losses Hyperliquid in March caused by the JELLY token scam. Perhaps because the company itself wasn't directly affected, the victims had to swallow their losses in silence. In community discussions, a familiar name was repeatedly mentioned: Tron founder Justin Sun. One user pointed out that an address involved in this attack had transferred ETH to an address associated with Justin Sun several years ago, but this action does not directly prove that the address has an actual connection with Justin Sun. Following the incident, many users turned to Hyperliquid, hoping the platform would provide an explanation or provide remedial measures. However, Hyperliquid did not drastically close profitable orders or directly shut down related accounts, as it did in March when handling the JELLY token manipulation incident. Instead, they responded in their official Discord group, stating that while the XPL market experienced significant volatility, Hyperliquid's blockchain operated as designed during this period without any technical issues. Liquidation and automatic deleveraging (ADL) mechanisms were implemented in accordance with public protocols, and because the platform utilizes a fully segregated margin system, this incident only affected XPL positions, and the protocol did not generate any bad debts. For many netizens, the lack of adjustments is understandable. After all, Hyperliquid warned of high volatility and risks when XPL launched, and all such manipulation was carried out within market rules. But for those users who have been deeply affected, such a response seems somewhat cold. Cause of the tragedy: a fatal conspiracy between platform, target and timing Looking back at the entire incident, this isn't the first time Hyperliquid has engaged in similar market manipulation. This process is clearly the result of premeditated and meticulous planning by the manipulators. Furthermore, it's also closely linked to the design of Hyperliquid's platform. First, this type of short squeeze is not uncommon in financial markets and often occurs in markets with poor liquidity and isolated prices. This particular operation on Hyperliquid capitalizes on several key features. First, the platform's extreme on-chain transparency allows manipulators to calculate the funds needed to manipulate the market and the desired effect using publicly available data such as positions, liquidation prices, and funding rates. Second, Hyperliquid's isolated oracle system. Because XPL utilizes an independent pricing system on Hyperliquiquid, independent of external oracles, manipulators can freely manipulate prices within this siloed environment without having to worry about price balancing on other exchanges. Furthermore, the selection of the target for manipulation also involves numerous tricks. The XPL token (and WLFI, another similar but less dramatic example) involved in this manipulation are both unlisted tokens. This means they are "paper contracts" without the risk of spot delivery or market manipulation, making them easier to manipulate. Finally, there's the matter of timing. Before the attack, XPL's trading volume was only a few hundred thousand tokens per five minutes, translating to approximately $50,000 USD. This coincided with the period of declining trading enthusiasm following the launch of the cryptocurrency. This thin liquidity provided an opportunity for the attacker to exploit, enabling market manipulation with minimal capital. The XPL incident exposed deep-seated structural risks, reminding us to reflect on both the platform and user levels. From the platform's perspective, the first issue is vulnerability. Since 2025, Hyperliquid has experienced three market manipulation incidents. Each incident almost always reveals vulnerabilities within Hyperliquid as a decentralized derivatives exchange. These vulnerabilities have repeatedly resulted in the loss of funds for ordinary users and a weakening of the Hyperliquiquit platform's credibility. In this case, the issue stemmed from both the siege created by an isolated oracle mechanism and price suppression caused by a lack of proactive platform liquidity intervention when unusual positions emerged. Secondly, is it more important to confront the perpetrators equally or to maintain a decentralized facade? In the JELLY incident, Hyperliquid unhesitatingly initiated an on-chain vote, ultimately recovering losses and expelling the perpetrators. The rationale at the time was that they were forced to take actions that undermined decentralization in order to protect the platform's user vaults. However, facing losses far exceeding those of the previous incident, is this because the platform's vaults were intact, or is it a choice to ignore the situation to prevent the banner of decentralization from falling again? This may raise a major question in the minds of users. Finally, for users, the XPL manipulation incident has once again heightened our vigilance against illiquid and isolated markets. Pre-market contracts with extremely low liquidity and lacking a spot market anchor are often the hunting grounds of whales. Furthermore, the time-honored trading principles of reducing leverage and setting stop-loss orders are never empty words.

The post 5 Best Cryptos to Buy for Long-Term Growth — Bitcoin, SUI and MAGACOIN FINANCE Gain Strong Analyst Support appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The 2025 crypto market is entering a new phase of institutional adoption and technological maturity, with investors looking beyond short-term volatility to position for long-term gains. Bitcoin still is the benchmark but now, newer networks like SUI are making their mark through ecosystem building. Solana, Cardano, and Chainlink remain relevant despite falling market value.  At the same time, MAGACOIN FINANCE is shaping up to be one of the most attractive long-term opportunities, with many analysts endorsing its unique combination of security and growth potential. Bitcoin: The Benchmark Asset for Stability Bitcoin is trading at $110,000–$111,000, down by around 2% in the last 24 hours as miners and whales take profits from a recent high above $123,000. Even with this correction, ETF inflows are still strong, with some analysts predicting rallying towards $150,000 this year on momentum. Long-term predictions are as high as $200,000–$250,000 by 2030, cementing Bitcoin’s position as the base of the cryptocurrency market. While Bitcoin’s growth curve might be more advanced than ETH’s, it is still the most trusted digital store of value. Sui (SUI): DeFi and Gaming Expansion Drive Growth Sui (SUI), the crypto asset, has been trading very close to $3.40. It has gained 1.8% in the past 24 hours. Furthermore, the coin has a market cap of about $8.8 billion.  The Defi network’s growth has been accelerating quickly as DEX volume surpassed $10 billion in August while its TVL rose a whopping 44% this quarter to $1.76 billion. The gaming sector is also showing signs of promise as Jackson.io launches as Sui’s first licensed iGaming platform with profit-sharing for stakers. Analysts believe Sui is one of the best emerging chains to buy for the long term with more than 40 million monthly active addresses and the release of an XAUm gold-backed token for institutional purchasers.…

Bitwise Files for First U.S. Spot Chainlink ETF With Coinbase as Custodian

Bitwise Files for First U.S. Spot Chainlink ETF With Coinbase as Custodian

According to latest reports, asset manager Bitwise Asset Management has filed an S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to bring spot Chainlink ETF to U.S. markets. If approved, this would be the first-ever spot Chainlink ETF. The proposed fund, called the Bitwise Chainlink ETF, would hold LINK tokens directly in custody, tracking the CME CF Chainlink-Dollar Reference Rate. Coins would be stored by Coinbase Custody Trust Company and trade execution would be managed by Coinbase Prime.  This spot Chainlink ETF has a streamlined design with no staking or complex structures, which is expected to speed up regulatory approval compared to other altcoin-linked proposals.  Why the Filing? Chainlink is one of the top tokens by market cap and plays a foundational role in decentralized finance through its oracle services to blockchains like Ethereum. Demand has been growing from both developers and institutions, driven by partnerships and on-chain infrastructure adoption. Bitwise Chainlink ETF The spot Chainlink ETF could be a more familiar, regulated way for investors to get exposure to this asset. With institutions leaning towards ETFs, this product could be the bridge between crypto infrastructure and traditional portfolios.  Also read: Chainlink Price Soars 38% in August as On-Chain Signals Hint at $30 Rally Market Reaction and Outlook $LINK’s price popped up about 5% from intraday lows following the filing. However, despite the bounce, technicals suggest lingering  bearish pressure amid the broader market volatility. Approval is still uncertain and other altcoin filings like Solana, Dogecoin, XRP and NEAR are still facing regulatory hurdles. Crypto ETF Race Bitwise has been a pioneer in crypto ETFs, having launched spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs with combined AUM in the billions. The SEC’s previous setbacks like pausing Bitwise’s BITW fund shortly after approval show the regulatory environment is cautious. That reversal showed internal uncertainty within the commission and the evolving standards.  Bitwise Chainlink ETF Conclusion Based on the latest research, Bitwise’s filing for the first Bitwise Chainlink ETF is a step towards exposure to core protocol infrastructure. By creating a clean spot-based structure with reputable custody and defined pricing, the fund could be the gateway for institutional investors to get into decentralized oracle networks through regulated channels. Also read: CEO Sergey Nazarov: How Chainlink Will Power the Future of Regulated Stablecoins As the ETF race heats up, Bitwise’s next step is navigating the SEC’s approval process; a test case for altcoin ETFs in the ever changing regulatory race. For in-depth analysis and the latest trends in the crypto space, our team offers expert content regularly. Summary Bitwise Asset Management has filed for the first ever spot Chainlink ETF in the US to give investors direct exposure to $LINK through a regulated product. The fund will hold $LINK in custody with Coinbase Custody, track the CME CF Chainlink–Dollar Reference Rate and have in-kind and cash transactions.  Glossary Spot ETF – A fund that holds the underlying asset and mirrors its price.

Aave Debuts Tokenized Asset Borrowing Platform Backed by Circle, Ripple, Others

Aave Debuts Tokenized Asset Borrowing Platform Backed by Circle, Ripple, Others

The post Aave Debuts Tokenized Asset Borrowing Platform Backed by Circle, Ripple, Others appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave Labs has launched Horizon, its new platform dedicated to institutional borrowers to access stablecoins using tokenized versions of real-world assets (RWAs) like U.S. Treasuries as collateral. At launch, institutions will be able to borrow Circle’s USDC, Ripple’s RLUSD and Aave’s GHO against a set of tokenized assets, including Superstate’s short-duration U.S. Treasury and crypto carry funds, Circle’s yield fund, and Centrifuge’s tokenized Janus Henderson products. The platform aims to offer qualified investors with short-term financing on their RWA holdings and allow them to deploy yield strategies. With Horizon, first announced in March, Aave aims to tap into the rapidly growing, $26 billion tokenized asset market and turning those assets into usable capital for institutions. Tokenized assets are projected to balloon into a multiple trillion-dollar market over the next few years as major banks and asset managers increasingly place traditional instruments like bonds, equities, real estate on blockchain rails as a token for operational efficiency. However, efforts to make RWA tokens useful in the decentralized finance (DeFi) lending markets are in the early innings, limiting their practical use. “Horizon delivers the infrastructure and deep stablecoin liquidity that institutions require to operate on-chain, unlocking 24/7 access, transparency and more efficient markets,” Aave Labs founder Stain Kulechov said in a statement. The protocol runs on Aave V3, which is the largest decentralized lending protocol with more than $66 billion in assets on the platform, according to DefiLlama data. The platform’s setup blends permissioned and permissionless features: collateral tokens embed issuer-level compliance checks, while the lending pools remain open and composable. Horizon (Aave Labs) Chainlink’s oracle services supply real-time pricing data, starting with NAVLink, delivering net asset values of tokenized funds directly on-chain to ensure the loans are appropriately collateralized. Launch partners include a range of asset issuers including Ethena, OpenEden, Securitize, VanEck,…

Institutional Interest In Crypto ETFs Expands To Chainlink And Injective

Institutional Interest In Crypto ETFs Expands To Chainlink And Injective

The post Institutional Interest In Crypto ETFs Expands To Chainlink And Injective appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aug 27, 2025 at 12:06 // News Following the successful launch of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the push for single-token exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is expanding to include other prominent cryptocurrencies. This week, Bitwise Asset Management filed a new application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch a spot Chainlink (LINK) ETF. Simultaneously, the SEC has also opened a comment period for a proposed staked Injective (INJ) ETF from asset manager Canary, indicating that regulators are actively considering the next wave of crypto investment products. These filings demonstrate that institutional demand is evolving. As the market for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs matures, large asset managers are looking to capture new investor interest by offering exposure to the next tier of digital assets. Chainlink, a leading decentralized oracle network, and Injective, a blockchain optimized for financial applications, are seen as prime candidates due to their strong fundamentals and real-world utility. The inclusion of a staking component in the Injective ETF is particularly noteworthy, as it would allow investors to earn yield directly from the fund, a feature that was a key point of discussion during the approval process for Ethereum ETFs. This development underscores the growing sophistication of crypto investment products and the industry’s efforts to make previously complex digital asset strategies accessible to mainstream investors through regulated financial vehicles.

Revolutionary: Ava Labs Unveils Horizon for Secure RWA-Backed Loans

Revolutionary: Ava Labs Unveils Horizon for Secure RWA-Backed Loans

BitcoinWorld Revolutionary: Ava Labs Unveils Horizon for Secure RWA-Backed Loans A groundbreaking development is reshaping the intersection of traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi). Ava Labs, the innovative developer behind the high-performance Avalanche (AVAX) blockchain, has officially unveiled Horizon. This cutting-edge platform introduces a novel approach to lending, providing stablecoin loans that are securely collateralized by tokenized real-world assets (RWA). This move, as reported by The Block, marks a significant step towards bridging the gap between conventional financial instruments and the efficiency of blockchain technology, especially in the realm of RWA-backed loans. What Exactly Are RWA-Backed Loans and Why Do They Matter? Understanding RWA-backed loans begins with grasping what real-world assets are and how they integrate with blockchain. Simply put, RWAs are tangible or intangible assets that exist in the traditional financial world—think real estate, commodities, or even government bonds. Tokenization transforms these assets into digital tokens on a blockchain, making them programmable, divisible, and easily transferable. Horizon leverages this concept by allowing institutional borrowers to obtain stablecoin loans, such as USDC, RLUSD, and GHO. These loans are not backed by volatile cryptocurrencies, but by the stability of tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds. This mechanism introduces a new layer of security and predictability to the DeFi lending landscape, making RWA-backed loans an attractive option for sophisticated investors. How Does Ava Labs’ Horizon Platform Function for RWA-Backed Loans? Ava Labs designed Horizon specifically for institutional players, ensuring a robust and compliant environment. The platform’s operational flow is straightforward yet powerful: Collateralization: Institutional borrowers deposit tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds as collateral. These digital representations of traditional assets are held securely on the blockchain. Stablecoin Issuance: In return, Horizon issues leading stablecoins like USDC, RLUSD, and GHO. These stablecoins provide immediate liquidity to the borrowers. Institutional Focus: The platform caters exclusively to institutions, ensuring adherence to regulatory standards and managing larger transaction volumes effectively. This streamlined process facilitates efficient capital deployment and access to liquidity, all while maintaining the integrity of underlying real-world assets. The innovation here lies in the seamless integration of traditional financial stability with blockchain’s inherent advantages, driving the utility of RWA-backed loans. What Are the Key Benefits of Embracing RWA-Backed Loans? The introduction of platforms like Horizon brings several compelling advantages to the financial ecosystem. These benefits extend beyond just the borrowers and lenders, potentially reshaping broader market dynamics: Enhanced Stability: By collateralizing loans with stable, regulated assets like U.S. Treasury bonds, Horizon significantly reduces the volatility often associated with crypto lending. This stability makes RWA-backed loans more appealing to risk-averse institutions. Increased Liquidity: Tokenization unlocks illiquid assets, allowing them to be used as collateral for immediate access to stablecoin liquidity. This can free up capital that would otherwise be tied up. Transparency and Efficiency: Blockchain technology provides unparalleled transparency for collateral management and loan terms. Smart contracts automate processes, reducing manual errors and increasing transactional efficiency. Bridging TradFi and DeFi: Horizon acts as a crucial bridge, enabling traditional financial institutions to participate in the DeFi space with familiar asset classes, fostering broader adoption and innovation in RWA-backed loans. Navigating the Future: Challenges and Opportunities for RWA-Backed Loans While the potential of RWA-backed loans is immense, their widespread adoption also presents certain challenges and exciting opportunities. Understanding these aspects is vital for assessing the long-term impact of platforms like Horizon. Potential Challenges: Regulatory Clarity: The evolving regulatory landscape for tokenized securities and DeFi remains a significant hurdle. Clear guidelines are essential for institutional confidence and scalability. Legal Frameworks: Ensuring the legal enforceability of tokenized asset ownership and collateral in various jurisdictions requires robust legal frameworks. Oracles and Data Integrity: Reliable and secure oracles are necessary to bring accurate, real-time data from the real world onto the blockchain, especially for asset valuation and liquidation processes. Exciting Opportunities: New Financial Products: Horizon paves the way for a new generation of financial products that blend the best of traditional finance with blockchain’s innovation. Broader Institutional Adoption: As more traditional assets are tokenized, more institutions will likely enter the DeFi space, driving massive growth. Global Accessibility: Tokenized RWAs can make traditionally exclusive assets accessible to a wider global audience, democratizing investment opportunities. Ava Labs’ Horizon is not just a platform; it represents a significant leap forward in integrating the stability of traditional assets with the innovation of decentralized finance. By offering secure RWA-backed loans to institutional borrowers, Horizon is setting a new standard for how value is exchanged and leveraged in the digital economy. This pioneering effort by Ava Labs and Avalanche is poised to unlock vast new markets and redefine the future of lending, making finance more efficient, transparent, and accessible for a global audience. Frequently Asked Questions About Horizon and RWA-Backed Loans What is Ava Labs’ Horizon platform?Horizon is a new platform developed by Ava Labs that facilitates stablecoin loans for institutional borrowers.
