More →Google Wants Gemini to Be Your Next Coworker—Complete With Its Own Email Address
Google Cloud introduced a universal AI agent for the workplace on Thursday, one it says can take a goal, go off and do the work, and return with the finished result. CEO Thomas Kurian presented it at the company's <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/ai-machine-learning/welcome-to-gemini-at-work-2026" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">Gemini at Work</a> event, saying that "work now starts in the prompt window." The product, simply called the Gemini Agent, works inside Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Chat and Calendar, and also reaches into Microsoft 365 and Slack. Google says it keeps running in the cloud after you close your laptop, so a single task can stretch across hours or days. The most interesting feature is what Google calls coworker agents. A manager describes a role, such as events coordinator, and Gemini creates an agent with its own Workspace account: an email address, a calendar, Drive storage and a listing in the company directory. This is similar to what other agentic frameworks have explored. For example Grok popularized it with Grok Bot, OpenAI did the same with GPT dots, and Hermes introduced its bots feature offering the same functionality. The new agent connects to Salesforce, ServiceNow, Jira, Snowflake, BigQuery and any server that speaks Model Context Protocol, an open standard that works like a universal plug between AI and software. It also runs on more than Google's own models: Gemini currently orchestrates across Gemini and Claude models from Anthropic, routing each job to the one Google considers the best fit for quality and cost. Letting software act on its own raises obvious safety questions, and Google's answer is to treat each agent like an employee. Every agent gets a cryptographically attested identity, a digital ID verified through cryptography, and every action lands in an audit trail attributed to the agent rather than a person. All agents run inside an Agent Sandbox, a walled-off environment meant to keep software away from the rest of a system, and all their traffic passes through Agent Gateway, which Google describes as an "AI network firewall." Containment has failed before: in July, researchers at Accomplish AI reported that the local mode of <a href="https://decrypt.co/374557/chatgpt-claude-ai-models-escaping-sandboxes-cowork" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">Claude Cowork</a> could escape its Linux virtual machine on Macs and reach files on the host computer. Cost is the other worry, since agents burn through tokens, the chunks of text that AI models read and write and that customers are billed for. Google says nearly 500 of its customers each processed more than one trillion tokens over the past year, and it added real-time spend caps: when a project hits its limit, the agent pauses until someone clicks to resume. Google did not publish pricing or a general availability date for the Gemini agent. The financial services and lega

Standard Chartered: Solana's 2026 target of $250 faces a reality check
According to news from Bijie, Standard Chartered predicts that Solana will reach $250 by the end of 2026, but after the recent cryptocurrency sell-off, Solana's price has fallen to about $110.46, down about 4% in the past 24 hours. Earlier this year, the bank's digital asset research team lowered its Solana target from $310 to $250, but at the same time raised its long-term forecasts, expecting Solana to reach $400 by 2027, $700 by 2028, $1,200 by 2029, and $2,000 by 2030. Kendrick believes that Solana is gradually moving away from its reliance on meme coin trading and shifting toward stablecoin-based micropayments. Currently, Solana's price has fallen below the $117-$120 range, with $110 becoming a key support level for buyers.

Analyst: EU securities regulators require crypto platforms to stop non-MiCA stablecoin services.
Coin World News: The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) issued an opinion on October 8 requiring licensed crypto platforms to stop. ESMA expects national regulators to ensure that any remaining client exposure is cleared within three months. The opinion covers asset-referenced tokens and e-money tokens, without naming any specific tokens.

The U.S. government transferred $1 billion in Bitcoin to an unmarked wallet.
CoinWorld news: The U.S. government moved approximately $1 billion worth of Bitcoin seized in the Bitfinex theft case to unmarked wallets. On Thursday, 12,267 Bitcoins (worth about $1.01 billion) held in one wallet were sent to new addresses, with almost all of the Bitcoin landing in a new unmarked address, while a second transaction went to another address. Arkham flagged both outputs as spent, meaning the coins have been moved again. In 2022, the government confiscated approximately 94,000 Bitcoins from Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan. Arkham's tags point to that seizure.
Ray Dalio: Stocks have lost their buffer, and the worst-case scenario may be coming.
Billionaire investor Ray Dalio has warned that the buffer protecting stocks from rising bond yields is rapidly shrinking. Speaking at the Milken Asia Summit in Singapore, he said strong corporate profits have so far shielded equities, but that advantage is fading as the cycle progresses. Dalio noted that rising bond yields mean stocks must deliver stronger growth to justify their risk. The current U.S. 10-year Treasury yield is near 5.3% to 5.36%, a multi-decade high. Dalio also mentioned that large government deficits, persistent inflation, and heavy corporate borrowing for AI infrastructure continue to put pressure on yields.
