Sonic Holders Accumulate Millions as Price Tests Key Levels

Litecoin (LTC) on-chain activities have captured everyone’s attention this week, as it has emerged as a bright spot amidst a calm market condition being observed in Bitcoin and other notable cryptocurrencies, as Bitcoin momentarily dipped below the $100,000 level. Litecoin Outperforms Other Major Altcoins Santiment, a blockchain analytics tool, highlights Litecoin as outperforming the performance […]

Following the MCP and A2A protocols, the AI Agent market has seen another blockbuster arrival: the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), developed by Google. This will clearly further enhance AI Agents' autonomous multi-tasking capabilities, but the unfortunate reality is that it has little to do with web3AI. Let's take a closer look: What problem does AP2 solve? Simply put, the MCP protocol is like a universal hook, enabling AI agents to connect to various external tools and data sources; A2A is a team collaboration communication protocol that allows multiple AI agents to cooperate with each other to complete complex tasks; AP2 completes the last piece of the puzzle - payment capability. In other words, MCP opens up connectivity, A2A promotes collaboration efficiency, and AP2 achieves value exchange. The arrival of AP2 truly injects "soul" into the autonomous collaboration and task execution of Multi-Agents. Imagine AI Agents connecting Qunar, Meituan, and Didi to complete the booking of flights, hotels, and car rentals, but then getting stuck at the point of "self-payment." What's the point of all that multitasking? So, remember this: AP2 is an extension of MCP+A2A, solving the last mile problem of AI Agent automated execution. What are the technical highlights of AP2? The core innovation of AP2 is the Mandates mechanism, which is divided into real-time authorization mode and delegated authorization mode. Real-time authorization is easy to understand. The AI Agent finds the product and shows it to you. The operation can only be performed after the user signs. Delegated authorization requires the user to set rules in advance, such as only buying the iPhone 17 when the price drops to 5,000. The AI Agent monitors the trigger conditions and executes automatically. The implementation logic is cryptographically signed using Verifiable Credentials (VCs). Users can set complex commission conditions, including price ranges, time limits, and payment method priorities, forming a tamper-proof digital contract. Once signed, the AI Agent executes according to the conditions, with VCs ensuring auditability and security at every step. Of particular note is the "A2A x402" extension, a technical component developed by Google specifically for crypto payments, developed in collaboration with Coinbase and the Ethereum Foundation. This extension enables AI Agents to seamlessly process stablecoins, ETH, and other blockchain assets, supporting native payment scenarios within the Web3 ecosystem. What kind of imagination space can AP2 bring? After analyzing the technical principles, do you think that's it? Yes, in fact, the AP2 is boring when it is disassembled alone. Its real charm lies in connecting and opening up the "MCP+A2A+AP2" technology stack, completely opening up the complete link of AI Agent's autonomous analysis+execution+payment. From now on, AI Agents can open up many application scenarios. For example, AI Agents for stock investment and financial management can help us monitor the market 24/7 and conduct independent transactions. Enterprise procurement AI Agents can automatically replenish and renew without human intervention. AP2's complementary payment capabilities will further expand the penetration of the Agent-to-Agent economy into more scenarios. Google obviously understands that after the technical framework is established, the ecological implementation must be relied upon, so it has brought in more than 60 partners to develop it, almost covering the entire payment and business ecosystem. Interestingly, it also involves major Crypto players such as Ethereum, Coinbase, MetaMask, and Sui. Combined with the current trend of currency and stock integration, the imagination space has been doubled. Is web3 AI really dead? Not entirely. Google's AP2 looks complete, but it only achieves technical compatibility with Crypto payments. It can only be regarded as an extension of the traditional authorization framework and belongs to the category of automated execution. There is a "paradigm" difference between it and the autonomous asset management pursued by pure Crypto native solutions. The Crypto-native solutions under exploration are taking the "decentralized custody + on-chain verification" route, including AI Agent autonomous asset management, AI Agent autonomous transactions (DeFAI), AI Agent digital identity and on-chain reputation system (ERC-8004...), AI Agent on-chain governance DAO framework, AI Agent NPC and digital avatars, and many other interesting and fun directions. Ultimately, once users get used to AI Agent payments in traditional fields, their acceptance of AI Agents autonomously owning digital assets will also increase. And for those scenarios that AP2 cannot reach, such as anonymous transactions, censorship-resistant payments, and decentralized asset management, there will always be a time for crypto-native solutions to show their strength? The two are more likely to be complementary rather than competitive, but to be honest, the key technological advancements behind AI Agents currently all come from web2AI, and web3AI still needs to keep up the good work!

The post BTC Liquidity Recovers as Trump Talks Bitcoin — Rocket Boost Incoming? ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Bitcoin’s liquidity is finally showing signs of life after weeks of market stress and thin trading conditions. Analysts highlighted on X that BTC is starting to recover (see leading signal, dotted line). If this recovery continues, typically the price confirms approximately 2 weeks later. Adding to the optimism, U.S. President Donald Trump recently spoke on the opening day of the America Business Forum in Miami, Florida. President Donald J. delivered one of his most direct endorsements of cryptocurrency to date. Addressing an audience of business leaders and policymakers. “The War on Crypto Is Over,” Trump Says Trump portrayed his administration’s stance as a sharp reversal from what he described as Washington’s former hostility toward digital assets.“I’ve signed historic executive orders to end the federal government’s war on crypto,”  Trump said ‘’It’s not under siege anymore.” His remarks drew strong applause from attendees in Miami, who viewed the message as a signal of regulatory relief and renewed confidence for the sector. Industry insiders said Trump’s tone marked a notable shift toward policy clarity. One analyst commented that “Trump’s rhetoric frames crypto as an opportunity rather than a threat—something the industry has long sought from U.S. leadership.” Advertisement &nbsp Trump emphasized the size and legitimacy of the crypto industry, pointing out that many leading entrepreneurs now have ties to blockchain and digital finance.  Crypto and the Dollar: A Strategic Balance Trump also drew a connection between digital assets and the U.S. dollar, arguing that crypto could actually strengthen, not weaken, America’s financial position. “It takes a lot of pressure off the dollar,” he said. “It does a lot of good things, but we’re into it.” This comment echoed the administration’s broader message that embracing crypto innovation can coexist with protecting dollar dominance.  His team has consistently framed…
