Missed the Chainlink announcement when it landed and only caught it going through the news archive this week.
An oracle on a normal DeFi chain feeds prices to liquidations. Thats the whole job.
For regulated assets the job is DIFFERENT. A tokenized bond needs a reference price, a fund needs its NAV, and those numbers arrive from institutions on a schedule rather than from a market ticking continuously.
Which is a harder trust problem, not an easier one. There's no arbitrage correcting a wrong NAV.
So the oracle stops being plumbing and becomes the point where off-chain reality is asserted onto the chain by SOMEONE.
Thats the layer I'd want to understand best, and its the layer nobody writes threads about.
