Give an Example of Data an Oracle Might Feed to a Bitcoin Options Contract.

An Oracle would feed the real-time, aggregated spot price of Bitcoin (BTC) in terms of a fiat currency, like USD, to the options contract. This price feed is critical for the contract to determine if the BTC price has reached the agreed-upon strike price at the option's expiration time.

It also provides the settlement price needed to calculate the final payoff amount in a cash-settled option.
