🚨HUGE: $300B+ in stablecoins could soon be used by AI agents to buy data and computing power, says BlackRock.
An agent could make small payments for an API call or extra processing power as it works, without waiting for a person to approve each purchase.
If agents do this at scale, it could bring more stablecoin payments and activity to crypto networks.
🚨BREAKING: Bitcoin Cash $BCH surges to $300, while Uniswap $UNI climbs above $9 after CME confirms futures are scheduled for October 19.
Both BCH and UNI will receive standard and Micro-sized contracts, pending regulatory approval.
The products will offer regulated, 24/7 exposure without requiring traders to hold either token directly.
CME already offers futures tied to BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, LINK, XLM, AVAX and SUI.

Want your AI Agent to understand images? Build an Image Analysis Agent in 7 steps 👇
1. Create a hosted Agent on https://t.co/HvaFCrre9f
Start with a new hosted Agent and add:
'https://t.co/qok2U1s6Sf
image_analysis.py'
2. Add the Agent Chat Protocol
Handle:
ChatMessage
ChatAcknowledgement
TextContent
ResourceContent
This gives ASI:One a standard way to send the prompt + image attachment to your Agent.
3. Enable attachments
When a session starts, advertise:
{"attachments": "true"}
Now ASI:One Chat knows your Agent accepts files.
4. Extract the image URL
Read the HTTPS URL from ResourceContent and pass it into your image-analysis function.
5. Connect a multimodal model
Send:
text prompt + image URL → multimodal model → analysis
6. Publish the protocol + describe the capability
Use:
agent.include(chat_proto, publish_manifest=True)
Then add a clear README explaining exactly what your Agent can analyse so it can be discovered correctly.
7. Test it through https://t.co/HQ2Tj9lbnW
Start the Agent → open its profile → select Chat with Agent → attach an image → ask: 'Please analyse this image'
Your flow is now:
ASI:One → image attachment → Agent Chat Protocol → multimodal model → analysis → ASI:One
Build it step-by-step → https://t.co/jX127wHVJU
The ECB launched "Pontes" to settle tokenized assets in central bank money.
They're not adopting bitcoin's innovation, they're co-opting "tokenization" to tighten the grip.
The free world doesn't need a central bank's permission to transact.
ELON MUSK: Earth is Tiny. The Future is Space.
Human civilization uses only a tiny fraction of the Sun’s energy. Even if humanity used a million times more energy, it would still be extremely small compared to the Sun’s power.
The Sun dominates the solar system, holding around 99.8% of its total mass.
Everything outside the Sun is almost insignificant when measured against the Sun’s scale and energy.
Earth-based civilization has a natural limit because our planet’s resources are small compared to what exists in space.
To grow civilization in a truly meaningful way, humanity has to expand beyond Earth.
Space is not optional for long-term growth, it is the next step for civilization.
