More →AI agents make 138 million crypto payments as U.S. dominates spending on AI models
Artificial intelligence (AI) agents are no longer just talking to each other. They are paying for services, buying data and even purchasing access to tokens the AI models, with more than 138 million transactions recorded through the x402 protocol on Coinbase’s Base blockchain, according to a Chainalysis’ <a href="https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/north-america-crypto-adoption-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">><em>Inside North America's $3 trillion crypto economy: Agentic commerce accelerates</em> report</a>. The United States dominates this emerging market. U.S.linked wallets accounted for 88.1% of the geographically identified payments for AI model inference, compared with just 0.1% for Chinese-linked wallets, the blockchain analytics firm found. "One possible explanation is that Chinese developers are more inclined to use open-weight models such as DeepSeek and Qwen, reducing their need to purchase metered inference services," Eric Jardine, Chainalysis' head of research, told CoinDesk. The findings, released Wednesday, come as Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and other payments giants <a href="/tech/2026/07/15/visa-mastercard-and-ripple-join-the-standard-letting-ai-agents-pay-in-stablecoins" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">have backed the x402 protocol,</a> while Coinbase <a href="/business/2026/07/23/coinbase-closes-the-gaps-in-ai-agent-economy-for-businesses-users-and-developers" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">has begun allowing business customers</a> to accept payments from AI agents. Yat Siu, co-founder and chairman of Animoca Brands, <a href="/business/2026/08/29/the-next-trillion-dollar-currency-may-not-be-a-stablecoin-it-might-not-even-have-a-name-yet" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">recently told CoinDesk</a> that over the next few years he estimates up to 100 billion AI agents will be transacting on the internet and they will be using crypto. And crypto’s <a href="/business/2026/08/23/crypto-s-next-billion-users-might-be-ai-agents-and-they-re-paying-with-stablecoins" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">next billion users might be AI agents</a> paying with stablecoins. “Stablecoins are particularly well suited to the kinds of transactions we expect AI agents to make at first,” Stephanie Cohen, Cloudflare’s chief strategy officer, <a href="/business/2026/08/23/crypto-s-next-billion-users-might-be-ai-agents-and-they-re-paying-with-stablecoins" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">told CoinDesk.</a> Unlike traditional card payments, stablecoins can handle transactions worth fractions of a cent, allowing AI agents to buy data, computing power and other services without human intervention. The new Chainalysis figures offer evidence of growing use of those payment systems, although transaction counts alone do not establish how much represents genuine commercial demand. Much of the activity runs through x402, a payments protocol incubated by Coinbase that allows AI agents to pay automatically for digital services using crypto. More than 87% o
S&P 500 options are the hottest bet on this Hyperliquid exchange
Talk about options<strong> </strong>on the S&P 500 index, and you are discussing a beast of a market that trades trillions of dollars in notional volume every day. Crypto traders now appear to want to access it over a blockchain. Hypercall illustrates the demand. The options platform built on Hyperliquid, the <a href="https://defillama.com/chains" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">>eighth-largest blockchain</a> by total value locked (TVL), went live in June, and more than 80% of the $640 million in notional volume since then has come from S&P 500 options, the exchange told CoinDesk. Open interest, the value of contracts still outstanding, is about $49 million, of which $47 million is in S&P 500 options. While the numbers are small next to traditional markets and Deribit's crypto options business, which started shortly after the platform’s 2016 debut and now routinely sees billions of dollars in daily volume and open interest, they illustrate a growing trend: the desire to access financial instruments when conventional markets are closed. Hypercall lists daily, weekly and monthly expiries, including over weekends. "The volume is concentrated in options expiring the following day," Jake Sylvestre, founder of Hypercall, said in an email interview. "Traders can take a view on the next day's move or hold a position further out." Traders are gravitating to blockchains for exposure to traditional markets, including derivatives. Hyperliquid’s decentralized exchange (DEX), also known as Hyperliquid, <a href="/coindesk-indices/2026/09/10/crypto-for-advisors" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">has become a</a> go-to venue for placing trades and managing risk through perpetual futures, especially on weekends when conventional markets are closed and geopolitical tensions have repeatedly escalated. Hypercall takes Hyperliquid’s perpetual futures into the options arena. An option is a contract that pays out if an asset ends up above or below — depending on the details — a set price by a specified date. A call option pays off when the asset finishes above that price at expiry. A put option works the other way round. Traders use both to hedge against price swings and bet on direction, volatility and time. Each Hypercall contract has a $1 multiplier, which means each index point is worth $1 at settlement. A call with a 7,000 strike pays $100 if the index settles at 7,100. Contracts settle in USDC, a dollar-pegged stablecoin, against the average price over the final 30 minutes for Hyperliquid's S&P 500 perps. Trading around the clock is the draw. "Hyperliquid has become the best venue for trading these markets outside exchange hours," Sylvestre said. Hypercall’s exchange's market makers, the firms that quote prices, "hedge on Hyperliquid's perpetual futures, including on weekends when the cash equity market is closed," Sylvestre said. Earnings, economic data and company news can move an underlying asset while its home exchange is closed, and makers "hav

Arthur Hayes: In the next cycle, I'll focus more on established DeFi projects with cash flow.
币界网消息，maelstrom联合创始人Arthur Hayes在The Rollup的访谈中表示，市场信心应建立在现金流之上。他更关注拥有真实付费客户、能够向代币持有者返还收益的项目。他认为，AI agent将使用经过时间检验的协议，值得关注的是从2020年DEFI summer存续至今、仍在赚钱的项目。 这些项目虽然价格大幅下跌，但仍被广泛使用，市盈率合理，协议之间也具有可组合性。他不认为下一波机会主要来自新成立的项目，并称那些他认为会涨十倍的项目，其代币现在就已经可以交易。吴说提醒，Arthur Hayes的市场预测历史准确率较低且观点常有调整，建议重点参考其分析框架，而非具体价格与时间预测。
CPI数据上升至2.6%，比预期高出0.1%
Bitcoin News data: 10xResearch reports that the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose to 2.6% year-over-year, higher than the market expectation of 2.5%, and up from the recent low of 2.4%. Oil prices typically affect CPI after about two months, so the next CPI reading is expected to rise again, possibly reaching the 2.7% to 2.9% range. Currently, crude oil prices are fluctuating between $90 and $100, which corresponds to a headline inflation rate of about 2.8% to 2.9%. The Producer Price Index (PPI) usually responds to oil prices faster than consumer prices, with August PPI jumping from 4.7% to 5.4%. The market widely expects today's September data (released on October 15) to slow slightly to 5.3%. If oil prices continue to dominate, PPI could rise to 6.0%, which would once again surprise the market. Higher oil prices and a strong dollar are the main macro risks to our mildly bullish view. Although Bitcoin is performing well, AI trades are still pulling back.

据市场消息，一些投资者和分析师认为
币界网消息，据市场消息，一些投资者和分析师认为，Anthropic三季度的业绩可能增强其IPO的可行性，但不太可能消除人们对全球人工智能贸易的疑虑。据知情人士透露，该公司本季度营收达168亿美元，自由现金流为正，调整后毛利率为85%，这表明其人工智能投资正开始显现回报。公司预计最迟将在今年年底完成上市。 尽管全球人工智能股票因债券收益率上升、油价驱动的通胀以及CoreWeave等企业融资问题而面临压力，但市场参与者指出，Anthropic的营收虽凸显了人工智能领域的潜在需求，但可能不足以重振整个行业的投资者热情，芯片制造商和基础设施供应商正面临盈利放缓的迹象。
