Armstrong explained that one AI agent — a “bot” designed to carry out a certain task — used crypto tokens to interact with another AI agent and acquire AI tokens. These AI tokens are essentially strings of data that enable algorithms to learn from information. “They used tokens to buy tokens,” Armstrong reiterated. He further explained that a key reason AI agents aren’t effective right now is their lack of transaction capabilities. Without a payment method, they struggle with basic tasks like booking plane tickets or hotels and even managing social media tasks beyond just creating content, such as promoting posts with paid ads. “AI agents cannot get bank accounts, but they can get crypto wallets. They can now use USDC on Base to transact with humans, merchants, or other AIs. Those transactions are instant, global, and free,” Armstrong added.

Marcus Beard, founder of Fenimore Harper, said: "Our findings show that more must be done to curb online disinformation. These campaigns can now impersonate well-known figures with ease, and sow disinformation online at an unprecedented rate. They pose a huge risk to individuals, public figures, businesses and to our democracy. “Transparency in online advertising following the 2016 presidential election helped to somewhat slow widespread sharing of false news. 8 years later, another step-change is needed. “Recent events have shown how even small pieces of false information can cause serious harm if not addressed immediately. Platforms, the government, the public and the media all need to be doing more to support the healthy and safe online discussion.

Filecoin (FIL) Price Dependent on Cryptocurrency Market Sentiment as Markets Look to Avoid Further Losses Filecoin (FIL) holders are cautious and their eagerness to sell the asset could complicate the price recovery. Filecoin price is under pressure from skepticism. The altcoin has been steadily declining on the daily charts. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) confirms this trend. It has fallen sharply below the neutral line after a steady rise. This shows that bearish sentiment and selling pressure are increasing. In addition, the FIL funding rate has turned negative for the first time in two weeks. This sudden change is a significant indicator of investor expectations and reflects broader concerns about market stability. The funding rate provides a balance between long and short positions in the perpetual futures market. Positive values indicate dominance of long contracts and mean that the contract price is higher than the spot price.
