Bitcoin has reclaimed the $80,000 level for the first time in three months, reviving forecasts of $92,000 to $95,000. After breaking above a 21-week trend line, it posted its highest weekly close since late January. Traders are divided, with some citing strong inflows into U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs and others warning a bearish pattern remains. Macro risks, oil prices and on-chain indicators are also in focus.

Webcash Group Vice Chairman Wan-soo Yoon said AI is a different technology paradigm from the internet and mobile, and that AI agents will carry out financial tasks based on customer instructions. He said the shift would begin taking concrete shape in South Korea in the second half of this year and that banking channels would evolve into AI agents over the next 2 to 3 years. Webcash is pursuing an AI-agent-first strategy and has begun providing an AI cash assistant service.
