Odaily reports that BlackRock stated in its report "The Machine-Native Economy" that AI and digital assets are accelerating their convergence: AI can enable machine-native intelligence, while digital assets can provide machine-native currency. As AI agents autonomously purchase services and initiate financial transactions, blockchain can provide machine-readable assets and programmable settlement infrastructure; stablecoins may be the first to become the primary transaction tool for agent-based commercial activity.
BlackRock noted that as of September 2026, stablecoin circulating market capitalization exceeded $300 billion, with adjusted transaction volume surpassing $11 trillion in 2025, representing a compound annual growth rate of 80% from 2020 to 2025.

Odaily reports: US President Trump previously announced that he would sign an executive order to rename artificial intelligence (AI) as "Superintelligence" (SI). Currently, several tech leaders, including SpaceX and AI industry leader Elon Musk, have adopted this new term when discussing technology, using "SI" instead of "AI" to refer to artificial intelligence.
However, US Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Greg Casar have introduced a bill requiring a mandatory pause on the development and deployment of related technologies before a dedicated federal agency is established to regulate superintelligent AI. Trump stated that "AI" is a "fake word" and hopes that the renaming will improve the public's negative perception of AI. However, the tech industry generally defines "superintelligence" as a hypothetical AI that has not yet been achieved, with capabilities that could significantly surpass humans across a wide range of domains and with the ability to improve itself autonomously.

About 1 hour ago, an address lost 0.15246 WETH in the next block after accepting a quote and receiving funds. The attacker paid 99% of it as a tip to Titan Builder and kept only about 0.0015 ETH, making it nearly impossible to rescue the funds through frontrunning.
