Key Highlights
- The system, DIA Value, aims to calculate the intrinsic value of assets such as tokenized treasuries, yield-bearing stablecoins, and liquid staking tokens.
- DIA says its new oracle is intended to address these issues by using valuation methods based on underlying asset data.
Blockchain oracle provider DIA today launched a new infrastructure product aimed at pricing digital assets that do not trade frequently on secondary markets.
The system, called DIA Value, is designed to calculate the intrinsic value of assets such as tokenized treasuries, yield-bearing stablecoins, and liquid staking tokens. The assets collectively represent more than $100 billion in on-chain capital, based on industry data from RWA.xyz and DeFiLlama.
Traditional price oracles usually rely on market trading activity to determine asset values. However, for assets with limited liquidity, those prices may not reflect the underlying value.
Lessons from past DeFi liquidations
The company pointed to past market events to highlight the risks of relying solely on market-based pricing systems.
On October 10, 2025, roughly $19 billion in leveraged decentralized finance positions were liquidated within 24 hours after price oracles transmitted stressed market data across several protocols.
In markets where assets trade infrequently, thin order books and delayed price updates can trigger liquidation events or distort risk models.
DIA says its new oracle is intended to address these issues by using valuation methods based on underlying asset data rather than recent trades.
Pricing based on fundamental data
The Value oracle uses several methods to estimate asset prices depending on the type of token.
For example, with staking derivatives such as stETH, the system reads redemption rates directly from the protocol’s smart contracts. Instead of relying on the last traded price, the oracle calculates value based on what the token can actually be redeemed for.
The approach can also be applied to other assets backed by reserves or external collateral, including yield-bearing tokens and tokenized financial instruments.
Integrations across DeFi platforms
According to DIA, the system is already being used by several decentralized finance protocols.
The integrations include lending and collateral platforms such as Euler, Morpho, Silo Finance, and Hydration.
The oracle is also being applied in systems involving tokenized Bitcoin infrastructure developed by Hemi Network, which focuses on enabling Bitcoin-backed assets to interact with decentralized finance applications.
Expanding infrastructure for institutional DeFi
DIA said the new oracle stack is intended to support institutional participation in decentralized finance, where pricing standards often require valuation models beyond simple market data.
The company described the product as a complement to its existing market-based oracle, which tracks pricing for more than 3,000 liquid digital assets with active trading.
