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.

The founder of the Liebit Mining Pool (B.TOP), Jiang Zhuoer, stated in a post that after this round of market trends, he will no longer short ETH and will instead short BTC. He will use WBETH as margin to short an equivalent amount of BTC spot.The reason is: MSTR can foresee that it will not increase its BTC holdings for a long time in the future; BitMine is still buying ETH; combined with the development of RWA and other factors, this bear market may repeat the last one, with BTC and ETH reaching their lowest points at different times. The last round's lowest point for ETH was on June 18, 2022, when ETH was $881.56 and BTC was $17,622, with an exchange rate of 0.05. The last round's lowest point for BTC was on November 21, 2022, when ETH was $1,079.76 and BTC was $15,476, with an exchange rate of 0.0698. In this round, there is a possibility that ETH will reach a low of $1,505.68 on June 6, 2026, so he has decided to short BTC. BTC has already fallen below the rising channel, while ETH is still at the lower edge of the rising channel.
