According to CertiK's latest report, losses from cryptocurrency ATM scams in the U.S. will reach $333 million by 2025, with the FBI receiving over 12,000 complaints, a 33% increase year-on-year. CertiK points out that cryptocurrency ATMs can convert cash into cryptocurrency within 5 minutes, and the identity verification requirements are extremely low, making them the least frictional channel for scammers to withdraw funds.Among the victims, 86% are seniors aged 60 and above, primarily due to their liquid savings, lack of knowledge about cryptocurrency, and social isolation. The main scam tactics include pig butchering investment scams, government impersonation, tech support scams, grandparent scams, and fake debt collection services.The involvement of AI technology has made the situation even more severe. By 2025, AI-driven social engineering scams are expected to yield 4.5 times the profits of traditional methods, and real-time deepfake technology has been systematically integrated into scam operations. Transnational criminal organizations also operate with a corporate division of labor model, significantly increasing the difficulty of law enforcement tracking.

The first on-chain DEX incubated by Bybit, Byreal, founder emilyrealfreeman stated on social media that the Byreal Command Line Interface (CLI) has been open-sourced, marking its first protocol interface designed for AI agents.Unlike ordinary API wrappers or chatbot interfaces, Byreal CLI redefines the interaction between protocols and machines from an architectural level, providing deterministic execution, intent-constrained driven operations, and an Agent functionality focused on understanding users, making the system inherently safer and more reliable. Byreal CLI offers AI Agents a complete set of three primitives: identity, wallet (asset control), and a permissionless execution environment, which can only be supported simultaneously by cryptographic technology.Agents can freely discover, execute, and learn through a single command, including one-time liquidity pool analysis (APR estimation, risk scoring, LP range suggestions), with documentation and interfaces designed for AI execution. The new feature Copy Farmer allows Agents to automatically replicate top liquidity provision strategies. Byreal believes that within approximately two years, DeFi trading volume will flow more through AI Agents rather than front-end interfaces, and projects that optimize protocols for Agents in advance will win the routing layer, while those that do not keep up may become forgotten backend systems.

According to CoinDesk, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has released a report warning that stablecoins have become the most widely used virtual assets in illegal transactions, calling for increased regulation of issuers.The report cites data from Chainalysis, indicating that by 2025, stablecoins will account for 84% of the volume of illegal virtual asset transactions, involving an amount of $154 billion. A report from TRM Labs shows that by 2025, illegal entities will receive $141 billion in stablecoins, reaching a five-year high, with sanction-related activities accounting for 86% of illegal crypto fund flows. Actors such as Iran and North Korea are using stablecoins like USDT for financing weapons of mass destruction and cross-border sanctioned payments.The FATF warns that peer-to-peer transfers conducted through non-custodial wallets represent a key vulnerability, as these transactions can bypass anti-money laundering controls. The FATF urges countries to impose anti-money laundering obligations on stablecoin issuers and consider requiring them to have wallet freezing capabilities and to restrict certain functionalities of smart contracts. The current market capitalization of stablecoins has exceeded $300 billion.

Anthropic is accused of launching a prompt tool for "exporting ChatGPT memory data," helping users transfer historical memory information to its model Claude, which has drawn industry attention.According to public content, the tool allows users to export their memory data from OpenAI's ChatGPT by copying and pasting specific prompts, and then import it into Claude. Related discussions suggest that this move is seen as directly weakening the user stickiness and switching costs that ChatGPT relies on through its "memory function."Market views consider the memory mechanism as an important moat for large model products— the longer users engage, the deeper the model understands their preferences, context, and historical conversations, thereby increasing the migration costs. If third-party tools can facilitate easy data migration, it may change the current user lock-in logic of AI products.Meanwhile, reports also mentioned that Anthropic was previously restricted from use by relevant systems of the U.S. Department of Defense, but the company's popularity and attention have quickly surged, topping some application rankings.Currently, the specific compliance of the aforementioned tool and the platform's response have not been clarified. The industry generally believes that competition among large models has extended from performance comparisons to ecological and data sovereignty aspects, with user data portability potentially becoming a key variable in the next stage.
