This report highlights that as of October 2025, the global oracle sector’s Total Value Secured (TVS) has surpassed $102.1 billion, with a total market capitalization of $14.1 billion. The market remains dominated by Chainlink, while competition is shifting from technical scalability toward economic model sustainability and cross-chain capability. The report notes that oracle growth has entered a “multiplier effect” phase, with momentum shifting from DeFi-native demand to Real World Assets (RWA), which are emerging as the core driver of institutional adoption. Meanwhile, cross-chain communication (CCIP), prediction markets, and AI-integrated oracles are expected to shape the next growth curve. On the economic front, the sector is transitioning from a “pay-per-call” model to a “service staking” paradigm, signaling a return to fundamentals-based valuation logic. The report estimates LINK’s long-term fair value range at $26–35, with potential upside to $40–45 upon the implementation of the Smart Value Recovery (S

A $120 million exploit affected Balancer V2. The vulnerability impacted multiple chains, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Berachain, and resulted in cascading consequences. Due to its shared architecture, Berachain initiated an emergency full-chain shutdown and now plans to implement a hard fork. This event underscores the systemic risks DeFi protocols face regarding precise computation and maintenance of protocol invariants. In addition to systemic risks, it also highlights the governance dilemmas decentralized projects face when responding to crises: This event raises critical questions about balancing security and decentralization.

Gate Research Weekly Report: BTC’s technical rebound has stalled, with short-term momentum remaining weak; ETH’s recovery also lacks strength, as its rebound is constrained by short-term moving averages.
