Alchemy introduces automated payment system targeting AI agents
Blockchain infrastructure firm Alchemy has introduced a system that allows AI agents to purchase blockchain data and automatically pay in USDC, Cointelegraph reported on Thursday. Alchemy AI agents can use on-chain wallets to access Alchemy’s blockchain data services for network queries, NFT ownership checks, multichain wallet balance lookups and real-time token price data. The system uses Coinbase’s x402 payment standard to turn an HTTP 402 response into an automated payment trigger.

One year after Gary Gensler exit, how U.S. SEC crypto policy has changed
Donald Trump pledged as a presidential candidate to fire the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chair immediately after taking office, and former chair Gary Gensler resigned soon after Trump’s inauguration. Since then, the SEC has withdrawn many long-running investigations and enforcement actions and reshaped leadership toward Republicans. The agency dropped a case against Coinbase and halted probes into Robinhood Crypto and Uniswap Labs, while policy direction has become less clear amid delayed legislation.

Robinhood expands tokenised assets with Arbitrum-based layer 2
Robinhood is developing its own layer 2 blockchain based on Ethereum layer 2 network Arbitrum as it moves to expand its asset tokenisation business, CoinDesk reported. The company considered a layer 1 blockchain but chose to build within the Ethereum ecosystem for security and liquidity, according to Johann Kerbrat. Robinhood Chain is in a private testnet and aims to convert assets on Arbitrum One without separate migration. Robinhood’s tokenised stock service has expanded to more than 2,000 stocks from an initial 200, the company said.
