Anthropic announced that starting from June 15, 2026, a new billing policy for the Agent SDK will be implemented. According to the new regulations, third-party Agent tools such as OpenClaw will be allowed to access the Claude subscription version again, but they must use a separate "exclusive monthly quota," which will no longer be shared with the regular chat quota.Previously, Anthropic had restricted third-party tools from accessing the Claude subscription quota in April of this year to prevent abuse. This adjustment is seen as the final solution to the related controversy, which is to reopen third-party access while completely isolating Agent calls from the regular chat quota.Specifically, Pro users will receive a monthly exclusive quota of $20; Max 5x and advanced Team versions will receive $100; Max 20x and advanced Enterprise versions can receive up to $200. The relevant quotas can only be used for third-party applications, self-built Agent projects, and claude-p backend command calls, with quotas refreshing monthly, and any excess must be paid at the standard API rate.

According to CoinDesk, Figure Technology Solutions CEO Mike Cagney stated that the company is trying to leverage blockchain to reconstruct the traditional credit market infrastructure and deeply integrate real-world assets (RWA), securitization, and DeFi.Data shows that Figure's loan issuance in March this year exceeded $1 billion for the first time in a single month, with a total lending volume of $2.9 billion in the first quarter, which annualizes to about $12 billion. Cagney stated that the company's goal is to reduce intermediaries in the securitization, lending, and stock lending markets through on-chain processes, lowering costs and enhancing liquidity.Currently, Figure has launched the yield-bearing stablecoin YLDS and has launched on-chain credit vault products on networks like Solana, allowing users to invest in tokenized credit assets or use them as collateral for borrowing. The company also plans to expand into the Ethereum ecosystem and explore stock tokenization and on-chain securities lending.Cagney believes that the true value of blockchain lies not in "putting everything on-chain," but in reconstructing the financial abstraction layer. "Financial assets such as loans, securities, and equity are naturally suited for on-chain processes, and the entire financial infrastructure may be rewritten as a result."

ChainCatcher live report, HashKey RWA CEO Anna Liu delivered a keynote speech at the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival. She introduced that Hashkey Chain has deployed 11 tokenized products, with the total value of on-chain RWA assets reaching 2 billion Hong Kong dollars. The exchange has launched seven tokenized products, including Hong Kong's first tokenized gold ETF.She addressed the four major challenges of RWA: first, the authenticity of underlying assets; blockchain cannot guarantee the authenticity of data before it is on-chain, and the oracle problem is a core issue; second, the lack of a commercial closed loop; many projects go on-chain just for the sake of going on-chain, and new value must be created that traditional methods cannot achieve; third, the liquidity dilemma; even compliant STO exchanges in the U.S. often have daily trading volumes of only a few tens of thousands of dollars, requiring high-quality assets, licensed distribution channels, and secondary market infrastructure to be in place simultaneously; fourth, the complexity of cross-border compliance, suggesting that resource planning should be included from day one.She proposed that asset tokenization should first ask three questions: Can it be done? Is it suitable? Why tokenize? She cited data indicating that in the first quarter of this year, the global tokenized RWA market size has approached 30 billion dollars, growing over 260% in the past year, with the IMF characterizing it this month as "a fundamental restructuring of the financial architecture."

During a media group interview at the Rosewood Hotel in Hong Kong, Gate's founder and CEO Dr. Han stated that AI is gradually evolving from an efficiency tool to a core capability within trading systems. It not only enhances information processing and execution efficiency but also begins to enter key areas such as trading decision-making, risk control, and asset allocation. As AI technology continues to deepen, users will no longer rely solely on experience and emotional judgment but will complete the decision-making process with the assistance or even agency of AI.He pointed out that this change is reshaping the relationship between users and trading systems, moving from "human-led tools" to "collaboration between humans and intelligent systems." In this trend, Web3 is transitioning from a function-oriented "tool-driven phase" to a "decision-driven phase" centered on intelligence.Gate is building a systematic capability framework around AI, accelerating the construction of an AI product matrix centered on Gate for AI, GateClaw, GateAI, and GateRouter, and promoting the deep integration of AI technology into the trading ecosystem to continuously advance the intelligent upgrade of the industry.

The on-chain prediction market platform Polymarket announced that it will conduct "the largest infrastructure upgrade since its launch" in the next 2-3 weeks, including a complete reconstruction of the trading engine and the launch of the native stablecoin Polymarket USD.This upgrade will introduce a brand new CTF Exchange V2 smart contract system, optimizing matching logic and order structure, improving matching efficiency, and reducing gas costs. At the same time, the platform will upgrade the Central Limit Order Book (CLOB), adopting a hybrid model of off-chain order matching + on-chain settlement.At the asset level, Polymarket will launch the native stablecoin Polymarket USD, pegged 1:1 to USDC, to replace the previous cross-chain version USDC.e on Polygon, enhancing asset security and consistency. In addition, the platform will support the EIP-1271 standard, allowing multi-signature wallets (such as Safe) to participate directly in trading, further expanding use cases for institutions and advanced users.Polymarket stated that the existing order book will be cleared during the upgrade, and the specific maintenance time will be announced one week in advance. This upgrade comes amid intensified competition in the prediction market, as the platform accelerates performance and user experience improvements.

The Financial Services Commission (FSC) of South Korea requires local crypto CEXs to establish a system that checks the internal ledger against actual crypto asset holdings every 5 minutes by the end of May, and to disclose asset matching balances daily, with monthly external audits by accounting firms.This move is seen as a tightening of regulations following the incident in February this year where Bithumb mistakenly issued 620,000 BTC to users.

On-chain analyst Murphy stated that BTC's "historical average cost basis" is very effective for assessing sentiment. When the price approaches the historical average cost basis of around $64,500, it reaches the psychological limit that the market can bear. Recently, after multiple dips below this cost line, the Bitcoin price has once again risen above it, with bulls showing a very strong willingness to resist at this sensitive position.Currently, concerns about the US-Iran geopolitical conflict have materialized, and the focus will shift to the scope of the conflict, its duration, and its impact on oil prices. This weekend, it has been observed that, without significant participation from institutions and market makers, the bearish forces are insufficient to drive BTC quickly "below 6 to see 5." The support at the historical average cost basis of $64,500 will be reconfirmed after the opening of the US stock market today.

Cobo co-founder and CEO Shen Yu stated on social media that the development of AI Agents will have a profound impact on corporate organizational structures. The disruption will not target individual skills, but rather the management systems that have long been centered around Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).He pointed out that traditional enterprises standardize human execution processes by continuously adding SOPs. If AI, which has autonomous planning capabilities, is simply embedded into existing processes, it may lead to internal efficiency losses. In the future, companies may reconstruct processes with "intent and boundaries" at their core, where humans set goals and rules, AI is responsible for autonomous optimization, and humans take on supervisory and decision-making roles.Shen Yu believes that as AI participation increases, departmental barriers and middle management functions may weaken, and organizational forms are expected to evolve towards more efficient dynamic collaboration models.

According to official social media news, Huobi HTX will hold a live broadcast themed "Web3 Native AI Aggregator: How AINFT Redefines the AI Entry?" today at 20:00 (UTC+8). At that time, crypto KOLs such as Mao Mao Jie, Qie Ge, PandaWL, Chan Ge, and OxPink will be invited to attend and engage in in-depth discussions on popular topics such as the integration trends of Web3 and AI, the product logic and application scenarios of AINFT, the role positioning of AI Agents in the on-chain ecosystem, and the evolution path of AI entry forms.

HodlAI proposes a new usage model for AI services, where users do not need to prepay or pay per use, but instead unlock daily AI API call quotas based on the amount of tokens they hold. The tokens are kept in personal wallets, and the quotas refresh daily, covering over 200 models including GPT-5, Claude 4.5, and Gemini 3.The funding source for this model is on-chain transaction taxes. HodlAI charges a 3% tax on each transaction and injects all funds into the API funding pool, which is then allocated based on the holding ratio. The more active the trading, the more abundant the funding pool, and the available quota increases accordingly.To prevent short-term arbitrage, HodlAI introduces a quota release mechanism based on the holding time of tokens. The longer the holding time, the higher the available quota, and addresses with a history of selling will have their quota limits restricted. The holding duration is verified through on-chain data and cannot be tampered with.In terms of transparency, HodlAI publishes all API recharge records and provides a third-party billing verification method, with the team committing to zero commission. Within two days of the project's launch, the total tax revenue exceeded $65,000, while the total API fees were less than $1,000.
