As more tools for agents are reaching the market finding the right one is now a search problem.
@brendan_j_ryan explains how Mercator uses intent-based search and vector-based search to match human requests with the tools agents need to carry out their task. From @stabledash:
“Most Americans haven’t dealt with being censored or losing access to a banking system.”
So in the US, Rumble’s growth lies in USAT, Tether’s GENIUS Act-compliant stablecoin, and in “use cases just for everyday Americans that are gonna be valuable to them.” — @glennonchain
Why public companies are saying no to tokenized stock.
> Messy offshore token listings have made them wary
> They still don’t know the pros and cons
With tokenized shares, they could see who owns their stock at any moment. Today, “as an issuer, I don’t know who’s on my cap table.”
TODAY: @onepay customers can now deposit stablecoins and spend them as dollars from the same checking account with @tempo
Earlier this month, Tempo CBO @dwr shared why this matters:
"A lot of the micropayments on the internet, pay to access an article, they didn't work because consumers are creatures of habit, and they basically only use cards."

OnePay, the consumer fintech trusted by millions of Americans, is bringing stablecoins into everyday banking on Tempo.
Starting today @onepay is rolling out stablecoin deposits so customers can spend them as dollars.
This is just part of OnePay's broader partnership with Tempo.
Stop paying a blockchain fee on every request.
@Tempo’s MPP has a mode called sessions, “in which you only actually interact with the blockchain once, which is to set up this bar tab, and then you continuously meter against that.” — @brendan_j_ryan
.@rumblevideo’s Glenn Rothwell says video platforms need to plan for AI agents as viewers, since agents skip ads and that breaks how creators get paid today.
Coinbase found its way into hard-to-reach payout corridors like Venezuela through @ThunesPayments
The partnership “gives @coinbase that instant connectivity to that breadth and depth of our network coverage.”
AI agents can already pay you using a @visa card
Here’s how:
> Your business sets up @tempo's MPP with @stripe
> An AI agent buying on someone’s behalf pays with their Visa card
> The money settles like any card sale
Visa received the MPP stack “on a Thursday, and they had turned around the integration, all cards on Visa in MPP by Sunday.”
Your tokenized stock might just be an IOU.
Under the SEC’s innovation exemption, a tokenized share “carries the exact same rights and remedies as a share on Nasdaq or any other type of traditional market.” — @MarkWendlandCSH
JUST IN: $HKDAP, the Hong Kong dollar stablecoin from Standard Chartered-led Anchorpoint, is coming to @solana
Last month, @SolanaFndn payments lead @CaddleMaya told us what banks with stablecoins should aim to become:
“Especially if you are a bank, I would make sure I become one of the key anchor currencies for any new stablecoin that’s coming, whether that is USD-denominated or not.”

Rumble’s Glenn Rothwell says, “We will have to be prepared for a future where maybe even the majority of our viewers or consumers are gonna be agents.”
BREAKING: More than $5B was moved out of @binance in a suspected hack, and many suspect North Korea’s Lazarus Group is behind it.
A month before this, @Bastion CEO @nassyweazy told us what should stop hackers like Lazarus:
“That is what a secure system is, is when you can literally, as part of your audit, hand over a laptop that is logged in on all of your systems, AWS and so on, and the bad actors cannot move your funds.”
xitter.gq/cz_binance/status/2115…
UPDATE: Binance says a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop played a part in the $6.3B hack.
xitter.gq/binance/status/2116089…
Investigation update: Our initial investigation suggested that the security incident may have involved a compromised laptop, however our subsequent investigation has uncovered additional points of breach.
This was a complex attack, and we are doing all we can in coordination with law enforcement to resolve it. We are still gathering the facts, and will share more directly as we have them.
Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe.
We are still on track towards the expected timeline to resume the withdrawal service in 45 hours. Deposits remain unaffected.
The outflows ceased when we paused withdrawal service earlier. We are still working with partners to freeze many of the impacted assets, and have frozen around $3 billion thus far.
We will continue to provide further updates through official Binance channels as more verified information becomes available.
AI Agents read your content for free. MPP lets you charge them.
Tempo’s Machine Payments Protocol works like a login page.
When an AI agent asks for your content, the site replies, “in order to get access, you have to provide proof of some payment.”
@brendan_j_ryan, Engineering Lead at @tempo on today's live show.
If AI agents watch the content, who pays the creator?
“Up until recently, the majority of Rumble’s revenue came from ads.”
Advertisers only pay when people see their ads, and AI agents don’t watch ads. So when an agent uses a video, the agent will have to pay for it directly, with a small fee each time.
Cloudflare and AWS already let websites charge AI agents this way, per request, in stablecoins.
@glennonchain, Head of Business Development at @rumblevideo
“We definitely don’t try to describe ourselves as a digital asset treasury company.” says @MarkWendlandCSH of @CantonStrategic
For a typical DAT, “you’re strictly just measured on how many coins per share you can achieve. In a sense, you’re just buying the coin but in an equity wrapper.”
“Treasury management’s one of those components, but it doesn’t end and stop there.”
When AI agents do the paying, “there’ll be thousands of payment methods, all hyper-localized, catering to different needs.”
@brendan_j_ryan, Engineering Lead at @tempo
.@glennonchain shares why @rumblevideo lets creators get paid in Bitcoin or Tether:
> Not every creator has stable access to banking
> Many rely on payouts to make a living
> Crypto offers censorship-resistant payment rails
