    MoonPay Enables AI Agent Payments via Mastercard

    MoonPay Enables AI Agent Payments via Mastercard

    MoonAgents Card is a virtual Mastercard debit card that lets AI agents and users spend directly from self-custodial onchain wallets using stablecoins.


    The card converts stablecoins into fiat at the point of payment, works with any online merchant that accepts Mastercard, and does not require preloading funds or moving assets offchain before spending.


    Issued through Monavate, a regulated payments platform, the card handles real-time onchain funding and authorization. If a payment fails, funds return to the wallet instantly, while custody remains fully with the user.


    The product is currently available in the UK and Latin America through MoonPay CLI, with U.S. and EU rollout planned next. Identity verification is required before card issuance.

    ​​Nebius Acquires Eigen AI to Strengthen Its Token Factory

    ​​Nebius Acquires Eigen AI to Strengthen Its Token Factory

    Nebius is acquiring Eigen AI, an infrastructure company focused on optimizing open-source AI models, in a deal valued at approximately $643M in cash and Class A shares.


    Eigen AI improves performance across modern architectures such as MoE, long-context, reasoning, and sparse attention models, helping teams optimize inference, fine-tuning, and post-training without building custom infrastructure in-house.


    Its optimization layer will be integrated into Nebius Token Factory, improving throughput, lowering inference costs, and reducing time to production across models including Llama, Qwen, Gemma, DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, and MiniMax

    ​​Fun Raises $72M to Build Crypto-Fiat Payment Infrastructure

    ​​Fun Raises $72M to Build Crypto-Fiat Payment Infrastructure

    Fun, a startup focused on crypto-to-fiat payment rails, has raised $72M in a Series A round led by Multicoin Capital and SignalFire, following a previously undisclosed $3.9M seed round in 2022.


    The company builds deposit and withdrawal infrastructure for platforms like Polymarket, Aave, and Lighter, allowing users to move between crypto and fiat without relying directly on exchanges or banks. Fun says it processes more than $18B in annual payment volume and works with over 20 clients.


    The raise comes as more companies including Meta, Stripe, and Shopify expand into crypto payments, increasing demand for stablecoin and fiat settlement infrastructure across both crypto-native and traditional fintech platforms.

    Limitless vs Opinion: Prediction Volume Dynamics

    Timing a TGE is everything. Limitless launched in October and let volume do the talking, now at $1.66B/month and climbing. Opinion entered at the peak of its own hype cycle and volume collapsed the moment the token hit. The market had already moved on.

    Polymarket Partners With Chainalysis to Monitor Insider Trading

    Polymarket Partners With Chainalysis to Monitor Insider Trading

    At the center of the deal is a custom on-chain detection model built on Chainalysis Data Solutions, designed to surface patterns consistent with insider knowledge. The tools will also produce blockchain-verified evidence for use in law enforcement and regulatory inquiries.


    The timing is pointed. Earlier this month, the DOJ charged an active-duty U.S. Army soldier with using classified military intelligence tied to a raid on Nicolás Maduro to place bets on Polymarket, generating roughly $409,881 in profits from about $33,000 in wagers.

    Claude has launched Public Beta of Claude Security

    Claude has launched Public Beta of Claude Security

    After a record month of crypto exploits, Anthropic opened Claude Security to public beta. The tool scans codebases for high-severity vulnerabilities including injection flaws, authentication bypasses, and logic errors that pattern-matching scanners typically miss.


    Unlike traditional tools, it runs an adversarial verification pass on its own results before surfacing them, reducing false positives without requiring a rule update.


    Every suggested fix requires human review before deployment. Available now for Claude Enterprise, Team and Max coming soon.

    Computershare and Securitize Bring U.S. Shares Onchain

    Computershare and Securitize Bring U.S. Shares Onchain

    This collaboration allows U.S.-listed issuers to issue equity securities in tokenized form. The new structure is built around Issuer-Sponsored Tokens, ISTs, which can exist as part of a company’s capital alongside traditional shares.


    The key point is that these are not synthetic or derivative tokens wrapped around shares. ISTs are representing direct equity ownership in token form, without changing the underlying equity or relying on a separate instrument.


    For shareholders, the potential benefit is a more digital-native ownership experience. Investors could hold tokenized equity in a wallet, consolidate digital holdings, and still receive issuer communications and corporate action flows directly.
