That shift is already beginning. Robinhood launched AI-powered investing tools in May that let agents trade stocks and make purchases for users.

Many transactions between AI agents could be worth only fractions of a cent, such as paying for an API call, a second of computing power or…

Memecoin issuance platform Pump.fun’s new bounty product has produced its first controversy. A user posting as Arivu on X said he completed a Pump.fun GO bounty last week that asked someone to tattoo the ticker “$boutywork” on their forehead and provide video proof. The task appeared to reference a token called $Bountywork, but the bounty description itself used the misspelled version “$boutywork.” Arivu said he followed the task exactly. “Guys I have followed everything exactly what the name mentioned in the line,” he wrote on X, adding that it was not his mistake because he tattooed the exact name mentioned…
