AI agents need to know when a payment is final.

@EspressoSys reports theoretical capacity of 1 million TPS, with finality under a second at full load.

Faster confirmation could mean fewer interruptions between paying for a service and using it. 💳 https://t.co/xOInpv2K6V

Another $30 billion for AI?

@OpenAI is reportedly seeking new funding at a valuation above $1.4 trillion, according to Reuters.

The round isn’t complete—but the race to finance computing power keeps getting bigger. 💰 https://t.co/0RqUc2YDZ5

👀 @tether is pushing back against a Senate report on Iran-linked USDT activity.

CEO @paoloardoino says wallet freezes helped drive a 94% drop in volumes, with action taken an average of four weeks before sanctions designations.

Our take: judge Tether on what it does to stop illicit flows. Criminals using USDT doesn’t, by itself, mean the issuer is looking the other way. https://t.co/gEIUCAWTzo

Can an AI model prove where it came from?

@SentientAGI tested 10 fingerprinting methods. Nearly all could be evaded—including its own.

Now @sentient_found has launched an open benchmark to put model provenance to the test. https://t.co/fpqedkTuX6

Tokenized stocks need more than investor demand.

@Broadcom, @Verizon and @CoreWeave are among nine companies objecting to their shares trading on OKXICE. The dispute puts pricing, shareholder rights and issuer consent in focus. 📉 https://t.co/DedcKXIMfH

[Blockster @BlocksterCom]

.@Citi and @BankofAmerica are restricting outside AI agents’ account access.

@moonpay’s @HalseyHuth told Blockster he trusts agents with money—but wants limits and manual approval for major investments.

Where do their approaches agree? 🤖https://t.co/CjKHDSqmeI

AI stocks rebound—but can earnings justify the spending boom?

Deepfakes are becoming a banking problem.

@worldnetwork brings @world_id to finance, helping institutions verify humans across customer accounts, video calls and AI agents acting on their behalf.

The suite combines World ID app, @Zoom verification and AgentKit. 👏 @world_chain_ @money2020 https://t.co/zgkYwmFbeI

Property shares from around $50. A mortgage without selling your BTC.

13M+ agent transactions on XRPL. Now @t54ai is looking beyond payments.

A planned pilot with RiskX will explore personalized investing—with checks on who an agent represents and what it can do. 📈 https://t.co/y071rtRYQM

[Blockster @BlocksterCom]

AI agents can pay. But who’s behind them—and who answers when something goes wrong?

@XDCNetwork has selected @Concordium as the exclusive identity verification layer for XDC AI, where agents discover services and pay in USDC.

Verified agents receive an onchain badge confirming that a verified person or business stands behind them, while the owner’s personal identity stays private.

For businesses, that adds accountability as software takes on more financial tasks. 👏
