Oracle shares suffered a dramatic decline, plummeting by 13% on Thursday following the issuance of a significantly weaker-than-expected earnings forecast.
This sharp drop, which threatened to erase over $90 billion from Oracle’s market capitalization, triggered a broader selloff across the technology sector. The plunge points to a growing skepticism among investors regarding the immense capital cost and delayed profitability associated with the company’s aggressive, debt-fueled expansion into Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure.
The disappointing financial predictions from the crucial OpenAI cloud-computing partner revealed the uneven and often protracted returns from the nascent technology. While many corporate leaders believe AI is the future, Oracle’s results suggest that the massive upfront investments have so far yielded only limited, visible productivity gains or corresponding revenue spikes.
The Financial Strain of the AI Build-Out
Oracle’s financial health is currently being defined by its commitment to the AI race. The company, long a smaller cloud player, dramatically escalated its profile by securing a massive $300 billion cloud computing deal with OpenAI, beginning in 2027. This high-stakes partnership has tightly linked Oracle’s fortunes to the AI startup, leading to increased stock volatility fueled by concerns that rivals like Google may be pulling ahead of OpenAI.
The core financial concerns center on an astonishing acceleration in capital expenditure (CapEx) that is currently straining the balance sheet:
Oracle shocked the market by announcing that its expected CapEx for fiscal year 2026 is now projected to be $15 billion higher than its estimates just last September. This increase pushes the company’s total planned spending to an unprecedented level over the planning horizon, primarily to fund the construction of colossal data centers necessary to meet the demanding requirements of its AI contracts. The OpenAI agreement alone is expected to utilize 4.5 gigawatts of power capacity over the five-year term of the deal.
The immediate cost of this expansion is visible in the company’s cash flow. Oracle reported burning approximately $10 billion in cash during the first half of its fiscal year due to these AI investments, resulting in a negative free cash flow of around -$13.18 billion in the most recent quarter. To finance this build-out, the company has increasingly relied on debt, holding approximately $100 billion in total debt.
Further dampening sentiment, Oracle missed Wall Street consensus estimates for its total revenue, which came in at $16.06 billion versus expectations of around $16.21 billion. It also issued a third-quarter revenue growth forecast that fell below Wall Street estimates, signaling margin pressure as the investment cycle ramps up.
Credit Markets Signal Caution
The sheer scale and speed of Oracle’s debt-fueled CapEx have injected anxiety into the credit markets. This behavior—relying on significant bond issuance rather than strong operating cash flows—marks a departure for Big Tech companies, though rivals like Meta and Amazon.com have also recently issued over $30 billion and $15 billion in bonds, respectively, to finance their AI infrastructure arms race.
Concerns about Oracle’s debt were immediately reflected in derivatives markets. The cost to insure against Oracle’s default, measured by credit-default swaps (CDS), surged by nearly 12 basis points on Thursday, reaching a minimum of five-year highs. Investors are actively dumping Oracle bonds while piling into these CDS contracts to hedge against potential default risk.
The market value hit to Oracle directly impacted its leadership. Larry Ellison, whose net worth of $276 billion (according to Forbes) is largely derived from his roughly 40% stake in the company, saw his net worth potentially decline by more than $30 billion in the wake of the stock plunge.
Broader Tech Sector Selloff
Oracle’s struggles triggered a sympathetic selloff across the entire AI-focused segment, heightening fears that the ongoing AI market frenzy has become an investment bubble reminiscent of the 1990s dot-com boom. This fear is exacerbated by the circular deals and massive, undetailed future spending commitments, such as those from OpenAI (valued at $500 billion but still unprofitable), which is expected to spend over $1 trillion on AI infrastructure by 2030.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell to a one-week low as other AI-related stocks and chipmakers followed Oracle’s trajectory. Key components of the AI supply chain—including Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, Micron, Broadcom, and Arm Holdings—all recorded declines ranging from 3.1% to 4.2%.
Despite the immediate negative market reaction, at least 13 brokerages cut their price targets, but some analysts defended the company’s strategy. BofA Global Research analysts argued that the decline represents an investment cycle payment, stating, “The current weakness is more capex investment cycles needed to support demand, with the company paying the price for the abnormal speed in which investment is required to meet current AI demand trends.”
However, the market is demanding greater clarity. Oracle now trades at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 29.56, still slightly above that of rivals like Microsoft at 27.24 and Amazon at 29.06, leaving its current valuation under intense scrutiny until its massive CapEx translates into sustained, high-margin cloud revenue.
Wallets associated with the bankrupt FTX exchange and its trading arm, Alameda Research, unstaked 194,861 SOL tokens from a staking account, unlocking approximately $25.5 million worth of Solana at prevailing prices around $131 per SOL.
This transaction, tracked by on-chain analytics firms like Lookonchain and Arkham Intelligence, follows a predictable monthly pattern of unlocks that began in late 2023 as part of the estate’s asset liquidation process to fund creditor repayments.
The unstaked SOL was transferred to a new address controlled by the estate, increasing available liquidity for potential sales. However, the same staking address still holds about 4.048 million SOL, valued at roughly $620 million, indicating this is just one installment in a larger unwind.
Since November 2023, FTX and Alameda have unstaked over 8 million SOL—worth nearly $1 billion at various points—often depositing portions to exchanges like Coinbase and Binance for controlled sales approved by U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
Market impact appears muted so far: SOL’s price dipped 5.4% in the prior 24 hours amid broader crypto weakness, but community sentiment views these events as routine liquidity injections rather than protocol threats.
No immediate dumps have occurred, thanks to court limits on weekly sales capped at $200 million. This aligns with prior unlocks, like March 2025’s $431 million batch, which caused short-term volatility but didn’t derail Solana’s ecosystem growth in DeFi and NFTs.
BlackRock’s IBIT Bitcoin ETF Records $192M Inflows
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) saw $192 million in net inflows on February 27, 2025, leading a rebound in spot Bitcoin ETF activity amid a volatile market.
This marked a strong single-day performance for the fund, which has dominated institutional demand since its January 2024 launch, amassing over $52 billion in year-to-date inflows by late 2025 and becoming BlackRock’s top revenue generator with estimated $245 million in annual fees.
The inflows contributed to a broader $290 million net positive day for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, offsetting Grayscale’s GBTC outflows of $599 million. Fidelity’s FBTC added $66 million, while ARK/21Shares’ ARKB brought in $24 million.
This surge helped Bitcoin rebound 4% to around $68,000 that week, signaling renewed institutional confidence after earlier outflows tied to year-end rebalancing and macro uncertainty. By mid-2025, IBIT had grown to $70+ billion in assets under management, holding over 700,000 BTC— 3.3% of total supply and outpacing rivals like Fidelity’s FBTC.
Despite a recent six-week outflow streak totaling $2.7 billion through November 2025—reflecting Bitcoin’s 27% pullback from October highs—the fund’s annualized return exceeded 40% from debut to November, underscoring its role as a key proxy for U.S. crypto adoption.
While the immediate market reaction was a 5.4% SOL price dip amid broader crypto weakness, the implications ripple across short-term volatility, long-term ecosystem health, and regulatory oversight. The unlocked 194,861 SOL increases circulating supply, potentially flooding exchanges if sold off.
Historical data shows similar events—like the March 2025 $431M batch—triggered 13-15% drops due to heightened sell-side liquidity. Court caps limit weekly sales to $200M, mitigating instant dumps, but thin holiday volumes could amplify downside if buyers hesitate.
Analysts note SOL’s resilience, often rebounding within days as DeFi activity absorbs the supply. This move advances FTX’s court-mandated asset unwind, with ~$620M in remaining staked SOL signaling more unlocks ahead.
It underscores the bankruptcy’s maturity—total unstaked SOL now nears 9M tokens worth $1.2B—potentially accelerating payouts to defrauded users by mid-2026. Positive for justice, but it highlights lingering risks from concentrated holdings tied to one failed entity.
Solana’s network fundamentals remain strong, with institutional inflows and tools like Grayscale’s GSOL ETF providing hedges. However, repeated events erode retail confidence, as seen in declining social metrics and 22% trading volume drops post-similar unlocks.
Long-term, it could deter new projects if perceived as a “FTX overhang,” though Solana’s low fees and speed continue driving DeFi/NFT growth. Analysts see these inflows as a bullish counter to retail selling, with potential for more if Bitcoin stabilizes above $100,000 into 2026.
Recent developments suggest Binance is expanding tokenized real-world asset (RWA) access via its ecosystem, with indirect “hints” through wallet integrations and API-adjacent announcements—though no explicit API updates for tokenized stocks were found in official docs.
In late November 2025, Ondo Finance integrated its Ondo Global Markets platform with Binance Wallet, enabling over 280 million users to access 100+ tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs like Apple, Microsoft, MicroStrategy directly on BNB Chain with 0% trading fees.
USERS CAN BROWSE AND TRADE THESE IN THE WALLET’S “MARKETS > STOCKS” TAB, REPRESENTING FRACTIONAL ON-CHAIN OWNERSHIP OF TRADITIONAL SECURITIES.
This builds on Binance’s prior tokenized stock experiments like Tesla, Coinbase tokens in 2021, which faced regulatory scrutiny and were discontinued on Binance.com in 2022 to focus on other products—migrating EEA/Swiss users to CM-Equity AG’s portal.
THE ONDO INTEGRATION REVIVES THE CONCEPT WITHOUT DIRECT EXCHANGE LISTING, LEVERAGING BLOCKCHAIN FOR 24/7 LIQUIDITY AND COMPOSABILITY. BINANCE’S SPOT API DOCS— V3 ENDPOINTS FOR MARKET DATA, KLINES, ETC. REMAIN UNCHANGED AND DO NOT REFERENCE TOKENIZED STOCKS, BUT THE WALLET EXPANSION COULD IMPLY FUTURE API EXTENSIONS FOR RWA TRADING PAIRS OR DATA FEEDS.
Analysts view this as Binance’s “move fast and break things” push into RWAs amid global tokenization growth, potentially challenging platforms like Backed or Franklin Templeton. No direct API “hints” were confirmed.
Fogo ICO Announcement
Fogo, a high-performance Solana Virtual Machine (SVM)-compatible Layer 1 blockchain leveraging the Firedancer validator client for ultra-low latency under 40ms block times and high throughput over 54,000 TPS, has officially detailed its public token sale.
The ICO is set to raise $20 million by selling 2% of the total 10 billion $FOGO token supply at a price of $0.10 per token, implying a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $1 billion.
This follows earlier funding rounds totaling $13.5 million: a $5.5 million seed round in December 2024 led by Distributed Global with CMS Holdings participation at a $100 million FDV, and an $8 million community raise via Cobie’s Echo platform in January 2025, also at $100 million FDV, which sold out in under two hours and brought over 3,000 angel investors on board.
TGE and mainnet is slated January 13, 2026 100% unlocked at token generation event, with 2% of team supply burned. Real-time on-chain experiences for DeFi, gaming, and physics simulations, with multi-local consensus for regional low-latency validation. Devnet is live, Testnet launches Q1 2026, Mainnet Q2 2026.
Community sentiment on X is mixed: excitement around the tech and rapid prior raises contrasts with skepticism over the aggressive $1B FDV in a bearish market, with pre-market perps on Hyperliquid pricing it at ~$1.3B FDV and Polymarket odds favoring a lower launch valuation around $300M.
As a pure Firedancer chain with multi-local consensus co-located validators for regional low-latency and a curated validator set, Fogo accelerates Solana’s tech evolution. It retains full SVM compatibility, enabling seamless dApp migration which could fragment but ultimately strengthen the ecosystem by stress-testing Firedancer findings for Solana’s upgrades.
This “accretive” approach—forking open-source code—irks some Solana devs but fosters cross-pollination, potentially drawing 84M+ Solana users to experiment with real-time apps like high-frequency trading or physics-based gaming.
Fogo targets “institutional-grade on-chain finance,” bridging TradFi speed (NASDAQ-like) with decentralization for DeFi, RWAs, and derivatives. Integrations like Wormhole, Pyth, and Ambient Finance could unlock $16T in tokenized assets by 2033, especially for low-latency needs like options or prediction markets.
Early “Flames” points and potential airdrops reward 3,000+ angels from prior $13.5M raises, fostering community but risking centralization critiques. Fogo’s “Flames” points program rewards early community engagement, potentially tying into future airdrops.
This positions Fogo as a “pure Firedancer” chain aiming to outpace Solana in performance while maintaining decentralization, though some Solana devs have critiqued the reuse of open-source code.
Google on Thursday introduced Disco, a new Gemini-powered AI experiment that pushes the boundaries of how a browser can reshape information on the fly.
The tool’s core feature, GenTabs, analyzes the pages a user has open and can instantly turn them into custom, interactive applications built around the user’s ongoing tasks. The system also incorporates past context from a user’s Gemini chat history, giving it a broader understanding of what the person is working toward.
Google positions Disco as an experiment meant to blend browsing, workflow management, and app creation into a single layer inside Chrome. Instead of asking an AI chatbot for help in a separate window, Disco rewires the browsing session itself. GenTabs can propose building a web app the moment it detects patterns in a user’s tabs — whether that means studying a topic, researching a purchase, planning a trip, or gathering information from several sources. Once an app is generated, users can continue refining it through natural language, making changes in real time.
The company emphasizes that the generative elements link back to the original sources, maintaining transparency on where the information came from. Disco uses Gemini 3 to assemble these on-the-fly experiences, making it effectively a web-based AI development engine that shapes itself around a user’s intent.
Google’s move reflects a broader trend in the tech industry as companies race to weave AI directly into core computing environments. Instead of launching a separate AI browser like Perplexity’s Comet or OpenAI’s Atlas, Google is taking the route of enhancing Chrome, which already dominates the global browser market share. Embedding AI at this level allows Google to leverage the familiar workflow of tabs, bookmarks, and browsing sessions while layering in intelligence that reacts to users’ habits.
Google has already taken early steps in this direction by allowing Gemini to answer questions about any webpage inside Chrome. Disco pushes that idea further by analyzing multiple tabs at once and treating the browser window as a canvas for task-specific applications. It marks one of the clearest signals yet that Google sees the browser as a future operating environment for AI — a place where apps are not downloaded but generated dynamically based on what users are doing.
The company says Disco will first roll out to a small group of testers through Google Labs. As with other Labs experiments, the goal is to gather detailed feedback on usability, performance, and the kinds of custom apps people build.
Google notes that successful ideas developed through Disco may eventually appear in larger services or consumer-facing products. The firm also makes it clear that GenTabs is the first in what is expected to be a series of experimental features under the Disco project, suggesting a longer-term vision for AI-driven browsing.
Disco will initially be available via a waitlist, starting with macOS users who will need to download a dedicated app. Google has not given a timeline for broader availability.
The introduction of Disco underscores Google’s evolving strategy in the AI era: rather than treating AI as a separate destination, the company is steadily infusing it into the most fundamental layers of digital life. If the experiment succeeds, the browser could shift from being a passive window into the web to an active workspace where AI shapes information into tools the moment they are needed.
