Solana staking protocol Fragmetric completes $7 million seed round

World reported that personal AI agents such as Meta’s Muse, OpenAI’s dots, and Instinct are rapidly gaining popularity, with websites and services increasingly asking two questions: “Which agent is making the request?” and “Is this request initiated by a real human?” The article notes that World ID can solve these pain points while protecting personal privacy. World ID stores and verifies Proof of Human via zero-knowledge proofs, endowing agents with private, unique, and neutral characteristics: no sharing of personal information, one count per individual, and cross-platform usability based on open protocols. To date, World ID has been integrated with Okta’s Human Principal beta, Vercel’s WorkflowSDK, Exa’s free API credits, and Browserbase’s web navigation, to verify whether an agent is backed by a real human or confirm that a human has approved a given step.

The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), a banking lobby group that once opposed the CLARITY Act, recently sued the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), arguing the regulator lacks legal authority to grant national trust charters to cryptocurrency firms. "Congress did not intend the national trust charter to serve as a backdoor for crypto companies to enter the banking system," said Rebeca Romero Rainey, CEO of ICBA. The OCC has approved trust charters for crypto firms including Coinbase, Circle, and Trump-linked World Liberty Financial.

According to CNN and other media outlets, citing unnamed sources on Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to appoint Jay Clayton, the current Director of National Intelligence, as the new "AI Tsar", with an official announcement likely to be released in the next three to four days. Notably, Clayton served as Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from May 2017 to December 2020 during Trump’s first term. He advocated for rule modernization and actively addressed issues including cryptocurrency regulation (classifying crypto assets as securities), cybersecurity, and pandemic-related impacts. Analysts point out that if the appointment goes through, it reflects Trump’s positioning of AI development as a "national security issue" (led by an intelligence chief), leaning toward light regulation or self-regulation, and prioritizing competition and economic growth rather than strict curbs on AI development.
