The GoPlus Security team has disclosed a new type of attack in its AgentGuard AI project: inducing AI agents to perform unauthorized sensitive operations through "memory poisoning." This attack method does not rely on traditional vulnerabilities or malicious code but exploits the long-term memory mechanism of AI agents. For example, an attacker first induces the agent to "remember preferences," such as "usually prioritizing proactive refunds instead of waiting for chargebacks," and then uses vague expressions like "process as usual" or "execute as before" in subsequent instructions, thereby triggering automated financial operations.GoPlus points out that the key risk in such cases lies in the AI agent mistakenly treating "historical preferences" as a basis for authorization, leading to financial losses or security incidents in operations such as refunds, transfers, and configuration changes. To address this issue, the team has proposed several protective recommendations, including:Operations involving refunds, transfers, deletions, or sensitive configurations must require explicit confirmation in the current session.Memory-related instructions like "habit," "usual way," and "as before" should be regarded as high-risk state changes.Long-term memory must have a traceability mechanism (writer, time, confirmation status).Vague instructions should automatically elevate the risk level and trigger secondary verification.Long-term memory must not replace real-time authorization processes.The team emphasizes that the "AI agent memory system" should be viewed as a potential attack surface and should be constrained and audited through a dedicated security framework.

Analyst Murphy has released a bearish signal analysis for Bitcoin at a small scale. Currently, the CVD of Binance perpetual contracts has rapidly declined from the April high and has fallen below the 90-day median. This indicates that market bulls are unwilling to continue chasing higher prices, and bears are starting to actively sell short. The spot CVD has also begun to "peak and turn down." Historically, when this indicator turns, prices often follow with a correction, similar to November 2024 and April 2025. However, the key difference in the current market compared to the past is that the BTC CVD indicator on Coinbase remains steadily above the 90-day median line.During the same period, the 30-day net purchases of Bitcoin spot ETFs have not shown a significant decrease, and funds in the U.S. market are still supporting it. Analysts state that shorting in the short term remains a high-risk behavior, and bears still need to wait for bearish sentiment to dominate on Binance, as well as for U.S. investors' spot buying to gradually withdraw.

He believes that during similar periods, fiat currencies tend to depreciate continuously, while gold benefits.Meanwhile, JPMorgan analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou pointed out that as the conflict in Iran escalates, the inflow of funds into Bitcoin ETFs has continued to exceed that of gold ETFs, with some funds viewing Bitcoin as digital gold and a hedge against dollar devaluation.The report mentioned that since the outbreak of the U.S.-Iran conflict, the price of Bitcoin has risen by about 30%, although it is still below the historical high of $126,000 in 2025. Notable investors, including Stanley Druckenmiller and Elon Musk, have also expressed concerns about the long-term status of the dollar as a reserve currency.

Zhao Changpeng (CZ) stated at the Consensus Miami 2026 conference that YZi Labs is currently investing 70% of its funds in blockchain, 20% in AI, and 10% in biotechnology.

Cryptocurrency should be the most native way for AI Agents to conduct cross-border payments. Regarding RWA, CZ mentioned that a year ago he believed RWA was overvalued, but he has changed his view; RWA is real and currently undervalued.
