Beating AI News Flash: JPMorgan Chase, the largest U.S. bank, has begun restricting external AI Agents from operating customer accounts. On October 13, CEO Jamie Dimon said the bank will not allow third-party Agents such as Meta Muse and Instinct to access its systems. Customers can still authorize AI tools to read account balances via approved channels like Plaid, but they cannot surrender online banking passwords for Agents to log in on their behalf, nor let Agents directly initiate transfers or pay bills. Dimon warned that if Agents act without authorization, the granting user may be held liable. Chase’s standard savings accounts offer an annual percentage yield (APY) of just 0.01%, while some high-yield savings accounts in the market exceed 4%. For a $10,000 deposit, annual interest would be only $1 at JPMorgan, compared to over $400 with top alternatives. In the past, many people found comparing rates, opening accounts, and transferring funds too cumbersome, so they preferred keeping their money with their existing bank. Now, personal Agents can handle these tasks for users. If a large number of depositors start using AI to automatically seek out high-yield accounts, the low-cost deposits that traditional banks rely on for profits could be impacted. JPMorgan is also developing its own AI wealth management tool, Smart Cash. The product recently launched a small-scale pilot program, aimed at predicting customer cash flow and automatically allocating funds to boost returns. Dimon emphasized that the bank does not oppose Agents, but customers must understand the potential liability transfer when they authorize external tools.

PancakeSwap’s team The Kitchen recently released the "The Flip" proposal on the governance forum, proposing to raise liquidity provider (LP) fee splits for v3 and Infinity across all 11 supported chains to 88%, with the protocol retaining 12% for the Treasury; v2 remains unchanged due to hard-coded fees. The proposal states that based on 2025 trading volume, LPs could earn an additional ~$62 million in fees. Higher splits may attract more liquidity, reducing transaction price impact. Trader fee tiers will stay unchanged; existing Infinity pools will see lower total swap fees due to reduced protocol fees. For CAKE, post-veCAKE emissions are proposed to be cut by ~69% from 22,500 tokens daily to 7,000 daily, with the remaining 7,000 tokens allocated to the ecosystem growth fund Pantry. The Kitchen noted that CAKE’s supply has decreased by 11.5% since Tokenomics 3.0 was passed, with v2 alone sustaining net deflation, and the protocol is on track to meet its 2030 20% supply reduction target ahead of schedule. If approved, implementation will start in November 2026, expected to wrap up by the end of January 2027, rolled out gradually per chain. The final plan will be submitted for a Snapshot vote after incorporating community feedback.
