CoinQuant, the AI-powered no-code trading platform that has attracted over 15,000 users since launch, today announces its expansion into a unified trading intelligence architecture built for both human traders and autonomous AI agents. Dubai, UAE | May 2026 - The agent economy is reshaping financial markets. Open-source agent frameworks are accelerating autonomous financial activity, with AI agents increasingly executing trades, managing portfolios, and interacting directly with exchanges.

A third-party module drained about $3 million from Safe wallets, with Squid attributing the incident to an external Safe module, saying its core systems were unaffected.

Blockchain security platform Blockaid reported the incident on Monday, saying it involved a contract labeled “SquidRouterModule,” which initially led to confusion over a possible link to the cross-chain protocol Squid. Squid later said on X that the issue was unrelated to its core protocol and instead involved a third-party module integrated into Safe wallets. Read more -

The broad direction, he noted, is already clear — institutional capital is moving on-chain.

Digital asset treasuries (DATs) and the broader practice of building corporate Bitcoin reserves became hugely popular in 2024 and 2025, thanks in large part to the success of Strategy, whose "flywheel" many tried to replicate. However, this model cuts both ways. On one hand, it lets companies raise capital on a wave of market optimism. On the other, it forces them to absorb the volatility of the underlying asset when prices fall. For a public company, the situation is even more complicated. Accounting obligations mean financial losses quickly become public, and any asset movements against that backdrop attract intense scrutiny. The recent discussion around Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) shows exactly that. Amid paper losses on its crypto strategy, the company moved 2,650 BTC to Crypto.com, having previously withdrawn applications to launch its own cryptocurrency ETFs. Read more -

The crypto lobby has spent tens of millions of dollars more on Republican candidates and elections than on Democratic lawmakers. In the upcoming 2026 midterm elections, Americans will elect 35 of 100 Senate seats and all of the 435 voting seats of the House of Representatives. The cratering popularity of President Donald Trump’s administration, which polls show is the result of everything from the economy to the War in Iran and his handling of immigration, has put Democrats in an historic lead. The generic congressional ballot test, i.e., a poll that asks which party the respondent plans to support, recently showed that the Democrats had the largest mid-term lead of any party in the last 20 years.

A New York lawsuit seeks ownership of 39,069 dormant Bitcoin wallets, raising questions over lost crypto, private keys and property law. A New York lawsuit filed by Noah Doe and two Wyoming-based LLCs, ABC Company and XYZ Company, seeks a court order declaring ownership of 39,069 dormant Bitcoin addresses, raising important questions about the legal treatment of inactive Bitcoin under property laws. Filed on May 1, the suit claims that the coins tied to the listed addresses represent legally abandoned property they found and reported to the New York Police Department and claimed under New York lost-property law. The plaintiffs claim that the dormant Bitcoin wallets were legally “abandoned” property that they found, including wallets belonging to early Bitcoin miners and addresses attributed to Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, among other lost coins and unidentified entities. They claim that these constitute seizable property, akin to traditional bank accounts. Read more -

Georgia’s central bank released stablecoin rules in March covering reserve backing, issuer documents and external auditor verification. Stablecoin issuer Tether and the government of Georgia plan to launch a stablecoin called “GELT” that would represent the Georgian lari under the country’s digital asset regulatory framework. On Monday, Tether said the stablecoin is expected to support cross-border commerce and digital payments in Georgia. The company said GELT's structure, rollout and regulatory implementation will be announced at a later stage. The plan builds on Georgia’s recent efforts to develop rules for digital assets and stablecoins, including a framework covering reserve management, redemption rights, issuer oversight and Anti-Money Laundering compliance. In March, the National Bank of Georgia said it had developed rules for the initial offering of “stable virtual assets,” including requirements for full reserve backing, offering documents and external auditor verification.

Chun Wang, who bankrolled and led a SpaceX flight over Earth’s poles, says he will head to Mars on SpaceX’s first manned mission to the red planet. Chun Wang, the Chinese-born Maltese entrepreneur who founded the Bitcoin mining pool F2Pool, has joined SpaceX’s first planned interplanetary mission to Mars after “purchasing” the mission. SpaceX announced Thursday that the two-year-long mission will explore beyond the moon, fly by Mars, and return to Earth. Wang has also bought a ticket for a planned weeklong commercial spaceflight around the moon that will launch before the Mars mission. “I believe that even without private investment in lunar flights, we will still reach the Moon, and likely very soon. As competition between the United States and China intensifies, governments will turn lunar bases into reality,” Wang said in a post on X on Friday. Read more -

While no other US-based Bitcoin ETF registered a change in flows, Friday’s outflow contributed to the $1.55 billion that has bled out of the ETFs since May 14, the last recorded net inflow among all the funds.

Stablecoins became the default settlement layer for AI agents as crypto payment rails can handle sub-dollar transactions more efficiently, says a report from Keyrock. Artificial intelligence agents settling payments have gone from concept to reality in the last 12 months, with $73 million settled across 176 million transactions from May last year through April 2026, according to crypto investment firm Keyrock. In a report released Thursday, written in collaboration with crypto exchange Coinbase and the blockchain Tempo, Keyrock researcher Ben Harvey said that “in the past 12 months, machine-to-machine payments have gone from concept to a developed ecosystem.” “Agents have settled over $73 million across 176 million transactions, and incumbents have deployed more than $8 billion in acquisitions to secure their position in what is emerging as an entirely new payment stack,” Harvey added.

"We’re not going to be outspent or out-organized by entrenched interests protecting their monopolies," said John Bivona, head of government relations at Kalshi. Kalshi has backed a new lobbying group for prediction markets called Americans for Fair Markets, which has tapped former deputy White House chief of staff Taylor Budowich as its strategic advisor. Kalshi said on Friday that the organization is positioning itself against sportsbooks and casinos, which it claims are “focused on protecting their monopolies and seeding lies about prediction markets to policymakers.” Americans for Fair Markets, which Kalshi said was launched with its support, would join a broader lobbying push that includes the Coalition for Prediction Markets, an advocacy group for prediction markets launched in December 2025, backed by Coinbase, Crypto.com, and Robinhood.
