PANews reported on December 9th, citing Cointelegraph, that Grayscale stated the Bitcoin market structure no longer follows a "four-year cycle," and the "halving-driven" pricing model that shaped Bitcoin's early history is gradually becoming ineffective. As more Bitcoin enters the market, the relative impact of each halving becomes increasingly limited. Today, the Bitcoin market is driven more by institutional capital than by retail speculation as was the case in earlier cycles. Unlike the price surges of 2013 and 2017, recent price increases have been more stable and manageable. Grayscale points out that the subsequent 30% drop was more like a typical bull market correction. Interest rate expectations, the momentum of both parties in the US on cryptocurrency regulation, and Bitcoin's inclusion in institutional portfolios are increasingly becoming key factors influencing market behavior.PANews reported on December 9th, citing Cointelegraph, that Grayscale stated the Bitcoin market structure no longer follows a "four-year cycle," and the "halving-driven" pricing model that shaped Bitcoin's early history is gradually becoming ineffective.

Grayscale: The Bitcoin market structure no longer follows a "four-year cycle," and its current trends are more driven by institutional capital.

Taiko Makes Chainlink Data Streams Its Official Oracle
The post Taiko Makes Chainlink Data Streams Its Official Oracle appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Notes Taiko has officially integrated Chainlink Data Streams for its Layer 2 network. The integration provides developers with high-speed market data to build advanced DeFi applications. The move aims to improve security and attract institutional adoption by using Chainlink’s established infrastructure. Taiko, an Ethereum-based ETH $4 514 24h volatility: 0.4% Market cap: $545.57 B Vol. 24h: $28.23 B Layer 2 rollup, has announced the integration of Chainlink LINK $23.26 24h volatility: 1.7% Market cap: $15.75 B Vol. 24h: $787.15 M Data Streams. The development comes as the underlying Ethereum network continues to see significant on-chain activity, including large sales from ETH whales. The partnership establishes Chainlink as the official oracle infrastructure for the network. It is designed to provide developers on the Taiko platform with reliable and high-speed market data, essential for building a wide range of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, from complex derivatives platforms to more niche projects involving unique token governance models. According to the project’s official announcement on Sept. 17, the integration enables the creation of more advanced on-chain products that require high-quality, tamper-proof data to function securely. Taiko operates as a “based rollup,” which means it leverages Ethereum validators for transaction sequencing for strong decentralization. Boosting DeFi and Institutional Interest Oracles are fundamental services in the blockchain industry. They act as secure bridges that feed external, off-chain information to on-chain smart contracts. DeFi protocols, in particular, rely on oracles for accurate, real-time price feeds. Taiko leadership stated that using Chainlink’s infrastructure aligns with its goals. The team hopes the partnership will help attract institutional crypto investment and support the development of real-world applications, a goal that aligns with Chainlink’s broader mission to bring global data on-chain. Integrating real-world economic information is part of a broader industry trend. Just last week, Chainlink partnered with the Sei…
