Do you remember the top fund partner who once mocked APRO at the dinner table? He was very absolute: the Bitcoin ecosystem doesn't need complicated price feed protocols at all; that stuff is just a waste of the native system. At a private gathering at the end of last year, his argument was particularly convincing—Bitcoin should just focus on being digital gold, everything else is redundant.

And now? Jump to December 2025.

On-chain data doesn't lie. It is this very institution that once swore "never to get involved in non-native solutions" that has recently been aggressively buying in the secondary market for three consecutive months, quickly becoming the top in APRO token concentration rankings. From "poor imitation" to "must hold," this stark contrast is quite ironic.

This story is far more than just a slap in the face.

It reflects a deep shift in the entire Web3 power ecosystem over the past year—those voices that once held the discourse are now being ruthlessly corrected by market reality. The reason APRO has gone from being ridiculed to being sought after is actually very straightforward: oracles are to blockchain what the visual system is to living organisms—they are infrastructure.

In the Ethereum ecosystem, this system has long been standardized. But in the Bitcoin ecosystem, when Layer2s mushroom like fungi, you realize what true demand is—accurate on-chain data feeds are critical to the stable operation of Layer2s. This is not a multiple-choice question; it is a must-do.

Former skeptics have now become the most active participants. That’s the market.
