The personal AI agent business ai.com under Crypto.com has not yet been opened to the public since its debut during the Super Bowl in February this year. According to Cointelegraph, ai.com spent $15 million on advertising during the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl to promote the launch of its AI platform, leading to a surge of users rushing to reserve personal AI agent accounts, which caused the website to crash within minutes. Nearly 8 months later, the site still displays a message indicating that due to high demand, AI agent generation is in queue. A spokesperson for Crypto.com confirmed that the platform is still under development, stating that ai.com continues to advance in stealth mode and will provide more details when it is officially released to the public.The AI agents of ai.com are positioned beyond financial scenarios. In a statement released in February, it was announced that personal agents could arrange work, send messages, operate across applications, and build projects, and it also claimed that agents could independently develop missing capabilities and share improvements within the network. Meanwhile, competitors have launched AI assistants for more specific tasks: Robinhood announced on Tuesday that it could execute automated trading within the app using AI agents, Kraken launched AI financial tools in July, and Bitget introduced the AI trading assistant GetAgent in June. Anthropic introduced computer use in Claude Cowork in March, and OpenAI launched ChatGPT Work in July.During this period, Crypto.com continues to invest in AI business.

According to CoinDesk, brokerage Robinhood (HOOD) announced at the HOOD Summit held in Houston, Texas, that it will launch executable trading AI agents, cryptocurrency perpetual contracts with up to 10x leverage, and weekend trading for U.S. stocks, while extending options trading hours, providing more intraday margin, and introducing contracts based on corporate earnings metrics.Robinhood Agents allow customers to create AI agents within the app, choose models from OpenAI or Anthropic, and authorize them to access independent trading accounts. The agents can analyze the market, create watchlists, and trade stocks, options, and crypto assets. A feature called Loops allows customers to give long-term instructions to the agents to monitor the market and execute strategies when specific conditions arise. Since opening its trading infrastructure to external AI agents earlier this year, over 150,000 agent accounts have been created. By default, every trade proposed by the agent requires customer approval, and users can disable this protection; agents cannot use margin when they go live and can only utilize funds in dedicated accounts.Regarding perpetual contracts, Robinhood plans to offer them to eligible U.S. customers through Robinhood Derivatives and Bitstamp, initially focusing on crypto assets, with Bitcoin and Ethereum contracts having leverage up to 10x, while other supported assets starting at 3x. Additionally, Robinhood will provide earnings binary contracts through Cboe, allowing customers to trade directly on whether companies meet revenue, earnings per share, and other metrics; weekend trading will offer select stocks and ETFs through Bruce ATS.

AMC CEO Adam Aron posted on the X platform again naming Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev and Chief Legal Officer Dan Gallagher. He stated that Robinhood had previously expressed support for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the tokenization of U.S. stocks, believing that tokenized stocks should have voting rights and that companies should have the option to opt-out.Adam Aron also pointed out that it would be very "hypocritical" if Robinhood did not apply the same principles in its overseas operations, and he urged them not to go against the SEC's stance, "do not openly disrespect and provoke the SEC."

The GoPlus security team disclosed that a high-risk fraudulent Meme factory was recently discovered on the Robinhood Chain, with a transaction volume exceeding 9 million dollars in the past 30 days, involving hundreds of fraudulent Memes. The asset aggregation address is 0x8c3Bad30cc7563A2D0357F49509FFd063666bb00. As of September 28, 2026, the address balance is approximately 56.0635 ETH, equivalent to about 148,000 dollars; the address has a total of about 1,385 transactions, with the latest 400 transactions generating approximately 1,728.02 ETH in income and transferring out approximately 1,861.12 ETH; the two-way transaction volume is about 3,589.14 ETH, equivalent to about 9.49 million dollars.Direct evidence of "authorizing or selling tokens ---> liquidating ETH ---> transferring to the same aggregation address" was found in the high-risk associated Memes. The amount is the gross amount transferred into the aggregation system from the same project batch and does not represent net profit. The fraudulent Meme factory model mainly includes "new accounts shipping out ---> layered aggregation ---> fund recycling: 1. Creating Tokens based on industry hotspots; 2. Allocating Tokens to a large number of new EOAs with only 4 to 11 transactions; 3. Selling in segments through PonsV2Helper / UniversalRouter; 4. Emptying ETH to local aggregators or the main aggregation address (0x8c3bad); 5. Providing funds for the next round of projects, new wallets, and trading operations. The key to this fraud model is: 1. Using a large number of new wallets to hide the actual concentration of chips; 2. Segmentally selling by these wallets to create the illusion of multiple independent traders; 3. After the shipment is completed, funds flow into the same aggregation system; 4. Reinvesting the profits from old projects into the next round.On-chain researcher Wazz recently disclosed that a suspected continuous Rug gang initiated at least 53 Robinhood Chain Memes within about two months and extracted approximately 18.43 million dollars from them. Their main tactic is to control most of the token supply using 70 to 200 wallets, then reinvest the profits from the previous round into the next round. This case is similar to the fraudulent model in this case, but there is currently no evidence to indicate that it is the same gang.

According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa), the GMGN associated address deposited 6,100 ETH to Coinbase, worth approximately 16.38 million USD.Looking back, this ETH was transferred from the Robinhood network to the Ethereum mainnet 6 days ago, possibly as revenue from transaction fees on the Robinhood network.

According to on-chain analyst Wazz, there is an organized chain of Rug Pull and fund extraction gang on Robinhood, which has been associated with 53 token issuances in the past two months. The directly traceable extraction amount has reached 18.43 million USD, and the actual amount may be higher.It is reported that the gang's methods are highly systematic: the funds raised from each issuance will flow into the launch wallet of the next issuance within seconds, forming a chain of funds; each issuance is bundled with 70-200 wallets to capture over 70% of the supply, mostly issued through the Pons V2 platform.In addition, the gang also creates "fake issuances" to hype up before the official issuance, harvesting market sentiment in advance, and then publishes the real contract address to maximize extraction profits. The token under investigation, $DEED, even failed to make it into the top ten of the extraction amounts.

After deducting Ethereum settlement costs and the 10% licensing fee paid to Arbitrum DAO, the net income for August was approximately $6 million. Regarding Robinhood Earn, users deposit USDG and borrow through Morpho, with the deposit scale increasing from $9.5 million on July 1 to $456 million on August 31, accounting for 68% of Robinhood Chain's TVL at the end of the month. Users can earn an estimated annualized yield of about 7%, while the yield on the loan side was approximately 3.7% at the end of August, with the difference subsidized by reward funds provided by Morpho and its lending partners.Meanwhile, the Meme ecosystem of Robinhood Chain is growing rapidly. By the end of August, over 340,000 tokens had been issued on-chain, with application layer transaction fees reaching $114 million in August. The report states that the trading volume of Meme and tokenized stock trading pairs is also growing rapidly, with the trading volume of Meme tokens paired with Robinhood Stock Tokens reaching $518 million in August.

The gas subsidies in the Robinhood wallet will continue until September 29, and the Earn yield is also planned to be gradually reduced.
