Aave Labs announced the launch of the AI-driven governance security system Aave Checkpoint, which adds a structured multi-layer review process for each proposal and load before execution.It is reported that the workflow of Checkpoint is divided into two phases: the automatic AI analysis phase, where the system automatically retrieves on-chain data, proposal source code, and IPFS text when a new proposal is submitted, cross-references the parameters with governance specifications, uses Seatbelt to simulate output and check the proposal execution path, runs over 60 specialized security analysis agents for vulnerability detection, DeFi-specific risk analysis, agent upgrade security checks, etc., and generates a structured audit report with pass/fail conclusions; and the mandatory manual review phase, where each AI-generated report must be independently signed off by at least two people before it can be considered reviewed. Checkpoint covers Aave V3, V4, GHO, and Aptos-v3 protocols, including 5 custom Aave governance skills and 52 external security skills.

According to CoinDesk, analysts at brokerage firm Bernstein maintain an "outperform" rating on USDC issuer Circle's stock, with a target price of $190, representing about a 60% upside from the current level of $120.The report notes that the adoption of stablecoins is increasingly decoupling from the cryptocurrency market cycle. Despite the market being in a bear phase, the supply of USDC has rebounded to nearly a record $78 billion, and the total market capitalization of dollar-pegged stablecoins remains stable at around $270 billion. Adjusted stablecoin trading volume has increased by over 90% year-on-year, with trading turnover rising, indicating that stablecoins are being used more frequently in scenarios outside of cryptocurrency trading.Payment adoption is the main driver, as stablecoins are gradually being integrated into traditional card networks. Visa currently supports over 130 stablecoin-linked cards across more than 50 countries, with an annual settlement volume of approximately $4.6 billion. AI-driven "proxy finance" could become a new growth theme, as machine-to-machine micropayments between autonomous software agents will require stablecoins as a natural payment rail.

It will deeply empower the new public chain in terms of technological research and development, ecological incentives, and market expansion. MCN Group will use this as a starting point to build a more vibrant and competitive global AI Agent blockchain network.

Strive's Vice President of Bitcoin, Joe Burnett, stated that AI-driven deflation could force central banks to adopt more accommodative policies, potentially driving Bitcoin to $11 million per coin by 2036, with a market capitalization of $230 trillion.This prediction is based on Bitcoin growing to approximately 12% of the global financial asset value, and global wealth growing at a compound annual growth rate of 7% by 2036. Given that Bitcoin currently accounts for about 0.2% of all financial assets, this implies that Bitcoin's market capitalization will increase more than 176 times over the next decade, reaching $230 trillion.

The world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, Bybit, today officially announced the comprehensive results of its 2025 Security Initiative. Bybit has built an industry-leading multi-layer defense architecture, successfully protecting the safety of tens of thousands of users and setting a new benchmark for proactive risk control in the digital asset space. According to a report by Chainalysis, global cryptocurrency losses due to scams and fraud reached as high as $17 billion in 2025.Redefining Industry Standards: Three-Tier Withdrawal Fraud Defense FrameworkTo break through the limitations of traditional post-event remediation in risk control, Bybit has pioneered a dynamic risk grading protection system that intervenes proactively before financial losses occur. This system categorizes potential fraud scenarios into three risk levels, each matched with differentiated response strategies—ensuring user withdrawal safety while maintaining a smooth trading experience on the platform.Level 1: Early Warning (Low Risk)Leveraging big data heuristic algorithms to identify abnormal behavior patterns (e.g., large withdrawals concentrated to a single new address), Bybit automatically triggers a risk questionnaire survey. Relevant insights assist the risk control operations team in blacklisting high-risk addresses in advance, achieving source interception.Level 2: Real-Time Warning (Medium Risk)When an account is flagged due to database breaches (cross-referencing external network leak data) or associated with suspicious withdrawal addresses, Bybit will trigger a real-time pop-up reminder during the withdrawal process. This mechanism guides users to pause operations and review transaction details, effectively resisting social engineering attacks that rely on urgency or emotional pressure.Level 3: Instant Interception + Cooling-Off Period (High Risk)For wallet addresses confirmed to be involved in fraud (including so-called "pig-butchering" investment scams), Bybit implements real-time withdrawal interception and enforces a 1-hour cooling-off period mechanism. This critical time window provides users with essential assurance to regain rational judgment and verify the authenticity of transactions.Overview of 2025 Achievements and Core DataThe measures implemented in the fourth quarter of 2025 have brought breakthrough results in user safety protection:Q4 Fraudulent Fund Interception and Recovery: Bybit successfully intercepted and recovered $300 million through proactive reminders, safeguarding the life savings of over 4,000 users;Q4 AI-Driven Risk Identification: Bybit's self-developed AI algorithm accurately identified 350 high-risk investment scam addresses through on-chain data analysis, helping 8,000 users avoid potential withdrawal losses;2025 Annual Infrastructure Resilience: The platform successfully withstood over 3 million hacker database breach (account hijacking) attacks;Q4 On-Chain Proactive Monitoring: The system automatically flagged 350 risk addresses, and the ticket operations team manually reviewed and marked 600 addresses, cumulatively avoiding nearly $1 million in immediate fraud losses.Co-Building a Safe Ecosystem: Industry Collaboration and Government-Enterprise LinkageBybit firmly believes that safety should not be a competitive barrier but a shared responsibility across the industry. The strategic focus for 2025 is on deep integration of external intelligence:"In 2025, our mission is to upgrade the risk control system from a 'silent shield' to a proactive, intelligent safety guardian," said David Zong, Head of Risk Control at Bybit Group. "By deeply integrating AI-driven on-chain monitoring with real-time intelligence from industry partners like TRM, Elliptic, and Chainalysis, we not only protect Bybit users but also help map the 'genetic blueprint' of fraud networks. We are opening and sharing these standardized monitoring clues across the entire ecosystem—because the safety of the industry begins with the safety of each participant."

TRM Labs released a report indicating that artificial intelligence is profoundly changing the landscape of digital financial transactions, with illicit cryptocurrency flows reaching $158 billion by 2025, and AI-driven fraud activities growing at an annual rate of approximately 500%.The report highlights that autonomous AI agents have significantly compressed the time required for money laundering and cross-chain asset transfers. By automating the splitting of funds, selecting optimal bridging paths, and executing exchanges on decentralized platforms, these agents can obscure the trail of funds in just seconds.Overall, the 150 hacking incidents that occurred in 2025 resulted in losses of $2.87 billion, with the speed of fund dispersal playing a crucial role in the outcome of a $1.46 billion theft from a major exchange.
