According to Decrypt, MoonPay has launched a dedicated app within the ChatGPT application, allowing users to purchase cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, XRP, Solana, and USDC directly within the OpenAI chatbot. Users can ask ChatGPT for cryptocurrency information and then request to purchase a specified amount, after which ChatGPT will generate a MoonPay checkout link. Users must complete the standard KYC process and connect their wallets.MoonPay's blockchain engineer stated that ChatGPT is becoming an entry point for financial research, and the cryptocurrency purchasing feature has been previously missing. This app is part of MoonPay's expansion into AI-driven cryptocurrency tools. Earlier this month, MoonPay also acquired the AI trading startup Dawn Labs and launched the trading assistant Dawn CLI. Arifin mentioned that chatbots like ChatGPT are becoming the new entry points to the internet.

At the "Crypto 2026: From Cryptocurrency to Smart Economy" themed forum held in Hong Kong, guests including KiteAI's Asia Pacific head Laughing, Sentient's Asia Pacific head Anita, Brevis content director Nic Tang, Mentis product head Jerry, and Predict.fun's Asia Pacific BD head Ah Huang Ricardo engaged in a roundtable discussion on the theme "AI × Crypto --- The Foundation of the Next Generation Digital Economy."Regarding whether the outbreak of open-source AI Agents (such as "raising lobsters") is a short-term sentiment or a long-term trend, Laughing believes this marks a paradigm shift of AI from "conversational" to "executive," signaling the beginning of a long-term trend. However, Agents lack a physical identity, making it difficult for merchants to trust their trading behavior, and issues of data leakage and uncontrollability remain obstacles that must be overcome for scaling. Jerry pointed out, based on his own usage experience, that current Agents face security risks such as memory fuzziness, token consumption in dead loops, and accidental file deletion. Although newly emerged Agents have improvements, they still have shortcomings. Ah Huang Ricardo stated that behind the short-term sentiment is real user demand, but truly reproducible profitable trading Agents are still very rare, and there is a long way to go.Addressing core bottlenecks such as trust, security, and verifiability, Nic Tang emphasized that the current execution process of Agents is like a black box, where users cannot verify whether their decisions are executed as promised. Zero-knowledge proof technology can mathematically prove the source of an Agent's output and compliance with behavior, while not exposing privacy. Anita added that Sentient is committed to building an open and collaborative AI agent network, promoting the deep integration of AI and blockchain in identity, data, and incentive layers, providing foundational support for the next generation digital economy.Regarding the application scenarios that are likely to scale first, the guests generally believe that the programming field is relatively mature, and Agents in prediction markets perform better than humans in specific tracks due to their rationality and lack of emotions. In the short term, they are optimistic about API Marketplace and cross-platform consumer shopping Agents, while in the medium term, they are optimistic about content creation AI (such as AI influencers). Agent-to-Agent interaction and the Agent/Skill Marketplace are seen as important future trends.

According to Bloomberg, Google has launched a new tool for its Gemini AI assistant that allows users to upload chat logs and context from other AI applications, aimed at attracting users of OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic PBC's Claude.Google stated that Gemini has added an import option, allowing both free and paid users to upload compressed files of conversations with other AI providers.

The globally leading cryptocurrency trading platform Gate has announced that the CEX MCP within the Gate for AI system has completed an important upgrade.This upgrade focuses on optimizing the AI Agent access and authorization process. After the upgrade, users can complete authorization directly within the conversation when using Gate MCP in AI tools, without the need to manually open a browser or switch pages; the authentication process can be completed in the same chat window. Whether using tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or OpenClaw, the overall experience is much smoother. Additionally, the platform provides a one-click installation tool and supports both API Key and OAuth authorization methods, making it simpler and more flexible for AI models to access trading capabilities.In terms of capabilities, the tool system of Gate MCP has further expanded, with the total number of tools now increased to 161. The callable capabilities of the AI Agent now cover market data, spot trading, contracts, and have expanded to include options, delivery contracts, wealth management, and more product scenarios, enabling AI not only to execute trades but also to participate in a more complete asset management and strategy execution process.

Recently, Dr. Han, the founder of Gate, was a guest on the Wu Says podcast, where he systematically shared his judgments and thoughts on topics such as market cycles, regulatory compliance, industry layoffs, and paths to listing.Dr. Han stated that although there are phase fluctuations in the current crypto market, it has deeply integrated into the global macro cycle, making it difficult to reproduce the deep bear market triggered by a single event in the early days; the liquidity environment and overall economic expectations remain the core variables affecting the market. On a technical level, he believes that AI is still in the early expansion stage, with real applications continuing to land, and cannot simply be summarized as a "bubble"; user behavior in Web3 is clearly migrating on-chain, and privacy technology and zero-knowledge proofs are expected to become important infrastructure in the future.Regarding changes in industry structure, Dr. Han pointed out that the rise of Perp DEX is due to improvements in on-chain performance, cost reductions, and mature incentive mechanisms, and the integration of centralized platforms with on-chain models will become a long-term trend; the stablecoin sector is showing significant economies of scale.In addition, regarding rumors of layoffs, Dr. Han candidly stated that Gate has maintained a steady hiring pace over the years and has never engaged in aggressive expansion or large-scale layoffs. When discussing future plans, he clearly expressed the intention to go public for the first time, stating that Gate has been promoting compliance and licensing globally for many years, precisely to prepare for "long-term normalization and the possibility of going public." It is reported that as of now, multiple entities of Gate Group have obtained or completed relevant regulatory registrations, license applications, authorizations, or approvals in jurisdictions such as Malta, the Bahamas, Japan, Australia, the United States, and Dubai.

In response to the rumors circulating in the community, CZ posted on the X platform stating: all interactions with the relevant parties consisted of "exchanging 3 messages back and forth and meeting for 10 minutes."

Investor Xue Manzi recalled the development history of Binance in a post on platform X. The article mentioned, "In June 2014, CZ met He Yi (then co-founder and marketing director of OKCoin) for the first time at a blockchain sharing session in Shanghai.

He Yi invited CZ to join OKCoin Global as CTO."In response, CZ commented (in the article), "There are quite a few inaccuracies in the details, but I won't go into all of them. When I first met He Yi, I just said hello and we didn't talk anymore, let alone for 10 hours."
