May 9 The U.S. and Iran remain deadlocked over ceasefire terms and negotiations, The New York Times reported Thursday. While both sides say the month-long ceasefire agreement is still holding, multiple rounds of attacks between them have occurred in the past week—with no breakthrough in talks. The U.S. recently targeted two Iranian oil tankers bound for an Iranian port, the report noted. In response, Iran has continued blocking the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. has put forward proposals including lifting port blockades, resuming navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, and extending the ceasefire by 30 days—but the core negotiation disagreement still centers on Iran’s nuclear restrictions. Separately, the U.K. announced it’s deploying a destroyer to the Middle East as a pre-deployment for future escort missions in the Strait of Hormuz. France, meanwhile, has already sent an aircraft carrier battle group to the Red Sea. Both nations are pushing to establish a “multinational joint

Cronje noted DeFi hasn’t hit its peak yet: “There’s still plenty of room for exploration and building in the on-chain space.”

**May 9th — At Consensus 2026, Trust Wallet CEO Felix Fan and Mesh CTO Arjun Mukherjee noted that AI agents are driving a restructuring of crypto wallet architecture, enabling AI to hold assets, conduct on-chain transactions and establish on-chain identities.** **Trust Wallet has launched its Agent Kit, letting AI agents autonomously execute transactions, transfers and other on-chain operations. The company is also advancing Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 8004 to provide AI agents with on-chain identity and credit scoring systems. Fan added that on the consumer side, the model still follows the “users hold the keys, incremental authorization” framework — with AI acting mainly as an on-chain operation assistant. For developers, agents get more autonomy to run operations.** **Mesh has rolled out Smart Funding technology, which automatically routes funds across chains, accounts and tokens to cut down Web3 complexity. Its CTO pointed out one core challenge for AI agents: the “co
