BSC and 0G ecosystem's largest AI economic infrastructure company NeoSoul announced plans to launch the world's first highly customizable Agentic Trading framework, helping users build AI Agents that can make autonomous decisions and trade independently.As AI capabilities rapidly improve, more and more traders are beginning to use Agents to assist in trading. However, currently, building a trading Agent that can operate stably over the long term still presents a high barrier to entry. NeoSoul hopes to lower the threshold for users to utilize autonomous trading Agents through its innovative Agent trading framework.NeoSoul chooses to focus on Trading because the financial market is the most direct scenario to test the capabilities of AI Agents. Compared to traditional AI applications that mainly provide information and advice, trading Agents need to continuously make judgments in a real environment and be validated by the market.NeoSoul's Agentic Trading Framework primarily addresses the following issues:Helping users create and customize their own AI trading AgentsOrdinary users who want to participate in AI trading often face technical and strategic barriers. NeoSoul allows users to create trading Agents that align with their goals without starting from scratch, and to accumulate professional trading experience and strategies through skills.Enabling users to determine whether the Agent truly possesses trading capabilitiesCreating an Agent is just the first step. Users also need to understand whether the Agent can consistently execute strategies and manage risks. NeoSoul provides verifiable performance records, allowing users to review the Agent's decision-making process and trading results.Allowing users to manage autonomous trading permissions more effectivelyWhen it comes to asset management, permission control is crucial. NeoSoul supports users in setting Agent permissions and understanding trading behavior in real-time.NeoSoul co-founder Kaelan stated:"AI Agents are moving from providing answers to participating in real economic activities. Trading is one of the most natural scenarios for Agents to enter economic activities, as each decision results in a clear outcome. NeoSoul hopes to help traders create operational AI Agents, enabling more strategies to be executed continuously."In the future, NeoSoul will continue to improve the Agentic Trading ecosystem, allowing more users to use AI Agents to participate in the global financial market.

Tencent's official X account stated that its research agent Hyra collaborated with the Hy3 model to explicitly prove an issue that has troubled the mathematical community for over 50 years: the optimal growth rate exponent of the size of the sum set |A+A| and the size of the difference set |A-A| for a finite integer set A is exactly 2. The theorem from 1969 provided an upper bound of 2, but for the following 50 years, the best constructed exponent was only slightly above 1.1.This achievement demonstrates the potential of AI agents in the field of pure mathematical reasoning. Tencent stated that Hyra is an AI research agent developed in-house, specifically designed to assist in the exploration of complex mathematical and scientific problems. This conclusion still requires confirmation through peer review by the mathematical community.

Castle Labs released a report stating that since the beginning of the year, crypto protocols have generated approximately $7.42 billion in revenue, but most token prices have failed to reflect the fundamentals of the protocols. The report analyzes six protocols, including Aave, Hyperliquid, PumpFun, and Uniswap, finding that they collectively generated about $726 million in revenue in the first half of 2026. However, after accounting for token issuance, unlocks, and incentives, the net value inflow for token holders turned negative for some projects.The report points out that Hyperliquid has burned over 47 million HYPE tokens, and PUMP has completed over $315 million in buybacks, yet the token is still down about 60% from its issuance price. Protocol revenue does not necessarily translate into token value, and investors should also pay attention to factors such as value return mechanisms, token unlock pressure, and equity structure.

JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo are collaborating to build a shared tokenized deposit network, operated by The Clearing House, a payment company jointly owned by large banks. The plan is to convert commercial deposits into tokens that can be transferred around the clock between member banks, with a target launch in the first half of 2027.The first users of the network will be multinational corporations, with a product range that includes programmable treasury, real-time liquidity management, and cross-border payments. The Clearing House CEO David Watson stated that this project is a significant initiative for banks. JPMorgan's Kinexys platform currently processes an average daily volume of over $7 billion, having handled a total of over $40 trillion since its launch; Citi Token Services has been operating in the U.S., U.K., Singapore, and Hong Kong, transferring billions of dollars through Citigroup's own network.

According to Cointelegraph, the on-chain security platform Blockaid released its security report for the first half of 2026 on Tuesday, stating that the amount stolen in the crypto industry exceeded $1 billion in the first half of the year. A total of 212 security incidents were recorded during this period, marking the highest number of hacking incidents in half a year. The number of verified high-risk vulnerabilities reached 3.4 times that of the entire year of 2025, with the largest single attack coming from KelpDAO, resulting in a loss of $292 million.The report shows that Ethereum and Solana were the two networks with the heaviest losses, with stolen amounts of approximately $332 million and $326 million, respectively. Ethereum incidents were primarily due to code vulnerabilities, with attackers mainly targeting vulnerabilities in high-value applications, involving key leakage incidents such as Humanity Protocol and StablR. Solana's losses significantly increased by about $127 million compared to 2025, but the increase did not stem from smart contract vulnerabilities; over 98% of the losses were due to key leakage, mainly involving Drift Protocol and Step Finance, which Blockaid associates with North Korean hacker organizations.

According to The Block, the Central Bank of Russia has released a regulatory draft for "organized trading" of digital assets and digital rights, aiming to set access and operational rules for cryptocurrency exchanges and digital custodians. The draft requires exchanges to determine trading processes through their own rulebooks and to calculate market prices and weighted average prices; it proposes the establishment of digital custodians responsible for bookkeeping, with registered capital ranging from 50 million to 250 million rubles, and must involve high liquidity and high credit quality assets.Electronic platform operators must also meet similar capital requirements and undertake the settlement functions of nominal accounts for digital financial assets. This draft has entered the regulatory impact assessment stage, connecting with the previously passed cryptocurrency market bill, and continues to provide a framework for compliant retail trading while prohibiting cryptocurrency payments within the country.

Visa and the on-chain data analysis platform Artemis previously jointly released the report "Agentic Payments from the Ground Up," which quantifies the trends of AI agent payments based on real-time on-chain data. The report points out that intelligent commerce should be divided into macro transactions (AI agents completing bookings, subscriptions, etc., adapting to existing card systems) and micro payments (high-frequency small payments between machines, with individual transactions far below $1, which traditional payment structures struggle to support).The report focuses on two "machine-native payment" protocols: x402 (developed by Coinbase, Cloudflare, etc., launching in May 2025) with an adjusted transaction volume of approximately $15 million and 109.6 million transactions as of April 21, 2026, with 422,000 buyers and about 5,300 sellers, primarily concentrated on Base, Solana, and Polygon, settled in USDC; MPP (developed by Stripe and Tempo, with Visa's participation, launching in mid-March 2026) had a transaction volume of approximately $25,000 and 115,000 transactions within 33 days of launch, supporting both on-chain crypto payments and fiat settlements.The report believes that the leap in AI capabilities (with the release of Claude 4.5 and GPT Codex 5.2 in mid-2025) has created a demand for programmatic payments, combined with the decreasing costs of blockchain settlements, making micro payments in the range of 1 cent to 1 dollar economically viable for the first time. Currently, the boundaries between crypto-native protocols and card payment camps are gradually blurring, but agent payments still face trust challenges such as erroneous purchases, adversarial attacks, and liability attribution.
