Recently, the market has been tough, and many people in the group are asking: 'Brother, the heat of meme coins has faded, where is the next main line that can help us turn the tide?'
As an old player in the market for many years, I am used to watching the trends instead of the charts. If you put your ear close to the ground in Silicon Valley and Wall Street, you will hear the same word roaring - AI Agent.
Don't feel that this is just a hollow concept. In 2024, we are still playing with ChatBots, but the script for 2026 is AI taking your wallet, automatically seeking high returns on the chain, automatically lending, and automatically trading.
So the question arises: when AI becomes a trader, what does it rely on to make decisions?
If the data fed to it is false or outdated, it will not only lose all your money but may even trigger a financial crisis on-chain.
This is why I want to talk about @APRO-Oracle ($AT) again today. Many people see it as just an ordinary oracle, but in my trading notes, it is the **'grain officer of the AI Agent era.'**
One, Oracle 1.0 to 3.0: The evolution history you must understand.
To help you understand the value of AT, I need to explain the history of oracle evolution in the simplest terms.
Oracle 1.0 (Bullhorn Era): This is the early Chainlink. Its job is simple, like a fax machine, transmitting the BTC prices from exchanges to on-chain. It works but can only transmit numbers.
Oracle 2.0 (Highway Era): Like Pyth, which focuses on speed. Because high-frequency trading requires millisecond-level data.
Oracle 3.0 (Era of Intelligent Brains): This is what APRO is doing.
The future on-chain world is not just as simple as 'how much is Bitcoin worth'.
Imagine a fund manager wants to buy a tokenized share of 'a building in Manhattan' (RWA). What does it need to know?
The latest valuation report for this building (PDF file).
Are the tenants in the building in breach of contract (legal documents)?
It may even need satellite images to see if the building is still there.
These are all 'unstructured data'. Traditional oracles, when faced with these, are like blind men trying to feel an elephant; they can't handle it at all.
And APRO's killer feature lies here: it has an AI verification layer built in. It can understand these complex documents and images, and after verification, turn them into 'facts' that on-chain contracts can understand.
Veteran's perspective:
If LINK is the shovel of the DeFi era, then APRO is the shield machine of the AI + RWA era. The track has changed, and the tools must upgrade. That’s why I say it is Oracle 3.0.
Two, Why would Franklin Templeton be interested in it?
After the last article was published, a brother privately messaged me asking: 'Brother, would a trillion-dollar giant like Franklin Templeton really invest in a small token with a market cap of tens of millions?'
This is actually a very typical retail thinking misconception. You think they are trading coins, but in fact, they are paving the way.
Wall Street's current ambition is RWA (real-world assets on-chain). They want to turn US Treasuries, stocks, and even artworks into tokens. But there is a huge compliance risk: how to ensure that on-chain tokens correspond one-to-one with off-chain assets?
If the gold off-chain is sold while the token on-chain is still trading, that's fraud.
At this time, APRO's 'AI-driven verification' becomes a necessity.
APRO can connect to real-world databases and auditing systems, capturing and verifying asset status in real-time.
It supports various asset types including stocks, real estate, and game data.
It covers over 40 blockchain networks.
This means that whether Franklin wants to issue assets on Ethereum, Solana, or BNB Chain, APRO can provide unified data services.
Trader's perspective:
Institutional investment is not charity. They invest in APRO to protect the safety of their hundreds of billions of RWA assets in the future. This **'infrastructure-level demand'** is the strongest backing for AT.
Three, Technical Breakdown: Explain Push and Pull to novices.
While studying the APRO white paper, I discovered a very practical design that is worth mentioning: the dual mechanism of Push (Push) and Pull (Pull).
Many tech novices get confused at this point. Let me give you an analogy:
Push (Push Mode):
It's like the old cable TV. Whether you watch or not, the station broadcasts programs 24 hours a day (data on-chain).
Disadvantages: Even if no one uses the data, gas fees still burn. This is simply a money-burning machine when gas is expensive in a bull market.
Pull (Pull Mode):
Just like Netflix/iQIYI now. You want to watch, you click, and the data comes through.
Advantages: Extremely cost-effective, can be accessed on-demand.
APRO supports both modes simultaneously.
For core prices like BTC/USD that change every second, it uses Push to ensure real-time access.
For some obscure RWA assets (like the valuation of a particular painting), it uses Pull, so it doesn't go on-chain when no one checks, greatly reducing costs for developers and users.
Why is this important?
Because the operation frequency of AI Agents is extremely high. If each data call incurs high gas fees, AI won't run. APRO's flexible architecture is inherently designed for the high-frequency, low-cost AI era.
Four, Valuation Game: What are we waiting for?
After discussing technology, let's return to trading.
The current AT price is around $0.10, with a very low market cap. As traders, what should we do now?
I am waiting for the wind to come. This wind is called the rotation of the AI sector.
The current market rhythm is: BTC solo dance -> MEME chaos -> public chain catch-up.
But the next real wave must be AI projects with application scenarios. When the market starts to hype the topic of 'who will serve AI Agents', the Oracle sector will inevitably face revaluation.
Currently, APRO's market cap is seriously mismatched with its technological positioning.
Compared to Pyth's tens of billions market cap, APRO's market cap is still a baby.
But what it does (RWA + AI verification) is something Pyth cannot do.
This **'expectation gap'** is the reason we are ambushing.
Operational suggestions:
Observe social media heat: Pay attention to #APRO topic tags to see if there are any new developers joining or new RWA projects announcing partnerships. These are all signals before an explosion.
Focus on 'smart money': Check the on-chain data to see if there are suspected institutional addresses accumulating at the bottom. The current sideways movement looks very much like the main force patiently picking up bloody chips.
Mindset building: Such infrastructure-type coins start slow, but once they get going, they have great inertia. Don’t treat it as a MEME to play with; treat it like 'early Moutai'.
Five, Conclusion: Don't be the abandoned child of the cycle.
Brothers, the world of Web3 changes too fast. Yesterday we were discussing the annualized returns of DeFi, and tomorrow AI may have already taken over our wallets.
In the historical gap between 'humans trading coins' and 'AI trading coins', @APRO-Oracle occupies an extremely tricky but also critical position.
It is not sexy; it won't rise 50% in a day like DOGE.
But it is very stable because it solves real problems.
When your AT is lying at $0.10, don't rush to curse. Think about it: if 2026 is the year of RWA and AI, then now, is it not the last opportunity left for you by God?
Look at the long term. After all, we didn't come to this market just to earn breakfast money, but to change classes.
