From "Can Pay" to "Get Things Done": X-Agent is building an on-chain personal AI assistant

X-Agent released the latest technical article "From Agent Payments to an Onchain Personal Assistant," revealing the important product direction for the next phase: moving from Agent Payments to an Onchain Personal Assistant that can understand user intent, obtain authorization, execute on-chain operations, and continuously track results.Unlike simply allowing the AI Agent to "have a wallet," X-Agent aims to solve a more critical issue: how to enable the Agent to safely complete an on-chain task on behalf of the user. For example, when a renewal bill arrives, the AI assistant can understand the bill, verify the payee and amount, generate a payment plan, and complete the transaction after user authorization; even if there are timeouts or interruptions during the process, it should resume the original task and check the payment status, rather than blindly repeating the payment. After the payment is completed, the Agent also needs to continue confirming whether the service purchased by the user has truly been delivered.To achieve this goal, X-Agent plans to further connect the three major modules: Agent ID, Agentic Email, and Agentic Wallet, which will respectively handle identity and responsibility attribution, task and communication entry, and controlled on-chain fund execution. Through mechanisms such as payment pre-calculation, one-time authorization, budget control, recovery, and reconciliation, clear security boundaries will be established for the Agent's autonomous execution. Its core logic can be summarized as: user intent → clear authorization → on-chain execution → result verification.X-Agent believes that a true on-chain AI assistant is not just "initiating a transaction on behalf of the user," but is capable of continuously completing tasks and being accountable for the final results under controlled permissions. This also means that X-Agent is exploring a persistent on-chain AI assistant aimed at individual users, moving beyond the infrastructure of Agent payments.

first_img Taurus Lianchuang: Banks need to build a three-layer infrastructure to access the Swift blockchain ledger

Lamine Brahimi, co-founder and managing partner of the cryptocurrency custody and tokenization company Taurus, stated in an interview with CoinDesk that banks need to meet three conditions to access the newly launched blockchain ledger by Swift: a proprietary permissioned chain that interacts with the Swift ledger, wallet capabilities, and tokenization and smart contract capabilities to integrate Swift's smart contracts.He pointed out that this means the Swift ledger is not a replacement for banks' internal systems, but rather acts as an orchestration layer, helping institutions achieve cross-border, round-the-clock transfers of tokenized deposits, with final settlement still completed through existing arrangements. Banks still need to hold and manage tokenized deposits, digital asset wallets, and related smart contracts themselves. In July, Swift announced that 17 banks were preparing for real-time transactions of tokenized deposits; in August, HSBC and Standard Chartered completed the first real-time interbank transaction, followed by DBS and Citibank completing weekend cross-border USD payments, reducing settlement time from a maximum of two business days to just a few minutes.Brahimi stated that additional infrastructure should not be seen as a flaw in Swift's design; the ledger is still an early product but provides banks with a choice between existing payment channels and tokenized deposits that can circulate around the clock. Taurus announced in August that it had completed Swift integration, providing the aforementioned three layers of capability through a single platform. He added that tokenized deposits were used very little before Swift's announcement, primarily adopted by larger global banks like JPMorgan. The Swift model retains deposits on the banks' balance sheets, distinguishing it from stablecoins issued outside the banking system.

Yilihua analyzes the four major reasons for the winter in the primary cryptocurrency market and calls on project builders and leading CEXs to take joint action to reverse the downturn

Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua published an article discussing the current state of the cryptocurrency primary market. He stated that the main reasons for the decline of the cryptocurrency primary market are: "First, the narrative has collapsed; from white papers to institutional endorsements to TVL manipulation, the basic market is no longer buying in. Second, there is a supply imbalance; now there are tens of thousands of projects, and it is extremely difficult for excellent projects to emerge. Third, the 1 plus 3 unlocking mechanism essentially targets VCs, allowing projects, market makers, and exchanges to run first. Fourth, the cost of listing coins; now primary projects require high valuations and large financing mainly because of several leading centralized exchanges going live, with an average cost needing tens of millions of dollars."Yi Lihua believes that industry leaders need to truly focus on building, such as improving the coin listing selection method on Binance. Under the current model, even if Vitalik Buterin's ETH were to come today, it would not be able to list on Binance. Additionally, the 1 plus 3 unlocking mechanism should be completely abolished; VCs bear the greatest risk and should not be burdened with the worst unlocking terms, as the success or failure of a project is fundamentally not determined by VCs.Finally, cryptocurrency projects need to return to real revenue and buybacks. The sustained prosperity of the U.S. stock market over the years is primarily due to performance growth and the encouragement of shareholder returns. This is what industry leaders should be doing, allowing secondary market investors to truly find quality projects.

first_img Coinbase obtains ADGM license to build a tokenized securities hub

The cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase has obtained a Financial Services License (FSP) issued by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). This license allows it to arrange investment transactions and provide custody for tokenized securities. Coinbase describes this license as the regulatory foundation for its international tokenization hub and the first of its two major non-U.S. institutional businesses established in the UAE, the other being its derivatives business in Dubai.According to the scope of the license, the FSP covers the arrangement and custody of tokenized stocks fully backed by underlying shares. Holders of digital securities can gain economic exposure such as dividends, while voting rights and redemption rights are subject to the conditions outlined in each prospectus. Coinbase states that investors only need a crypto wallet to trade, and secondary transfers do not require a brokerage account or banking relationship, but redeeming profits for fiat currency still requires a bank or brokerage account.Brett Tejpaul, Co-President of Coinbase Institutional: Currently, there is no major financial center that has established a framework that simultaneously regards tokenized stocks as securities, blockchain-native tokens, and composable DeFi assets. Arvind Ramamurthy, Chief Market Development Officer of ADGM, stated that the Coinbase hub reflects the center's progressive, robust, and internationally aligned regulatory framework. The FSRA issued its first virtual asset rules in 2018, which include protective measures such as sanctions screening and the ability to freeze or seize assets at the wallet level. ADGM applies English common law, and the FSRA's authority differs from that of the UAE Securities and Commodities Authority; registered entities do not automatically obtain a passport in other Gulf Cooperation Council jurisdictions.
