For the first time, the Israel Capital Markets Authority has granted a license for the issuance of a stablecoin pegged to the shekel. The issuer will be the cryptocurrency exchange Bits of Gold. The company received approval after two years of testing in a regulatory sandbox. In 2024, the Bank of Israel invited local and international service providers to participate in developing "innovative use cases" for the digital shekel. The asset, under the ticker BILS, is built on the Solana blockchain with the involvement of custodian Fireblocks. Security auditing was conducted by EY. Developers noted that the stablecoin sector has exceeded $300 billion. The dominance of dollar-backed tokens concerns other countries, as regulators believe it threatens their digital sovereignty. The launch of BILS aims to address this issue for the local market. Source: CoinGecko. Bits of Gold emphasized that the shekel has performed well against developed markets. Over the past year, the currency has appreciated by 20% against the dollar. The introduction of a digital version will place the shekel alongside the euro, yen, and Singapore dollar, which are already used in blockchain systems. Earlier in September, Kazakhstan announced Evo, a "stablecoin" on the Solana blockchain. In December, it was revealed that Cumberland will assist Bhutan in launching a national stablecoin.

The cryptocurrency exchange Gemini has launched the Agentic Trading feature, allowing AI models like Claude and ChatGPT to connect to users' trading accounts. Calling all robots 🤖https://t.co/9WyP5pCuxQ— Tyler Winklevoss (@tyler) April 27, 2026 This tool enables artificial intelligence to monitor markets, place orders, execute trades, and manage risks within pre-selected strategies. Gemini described the feature as "the first agentic trading tool available directly through a regulated American exchange." "We believe we are at the beginning of a fundamental shift in how people interact with financial markets," stated Gemini. Company representatives called agentic trading a "new paradigm," where AI handles execution, identifies patterns, and ensures discipline, while the user focuses on strategy and goals. The tool operates on the open standard Model Context Protocol (MCP), developed by Anthropic's lab. It connects agents with external tools and API. Agentic Trading includes a set of ready-made functions—Trading Skills. These skills provide artificial intelligence with various capabilities, such as requesting the spread for any trading pair (Find the Spread) or accessing historical data for pattern recognition and backtesting (Retrieve Candles). A Broad Trend Gemini's launch aligns with a broader trend: users and companies are increasingly granting AI agents access to digital services. In May 2025, Coinbase introduced the x402 tool for online payments. It is designed for transferring stablecoins via standard internet protocols and allows AI agents to conduct autonomous transactions. In December, the second version of the protocol was released, aimed at transforming the system of simple one-step transactions into a "unified payment layer of the internet." In early April 2026, x402 came under the management of the non-profit organization Linux Foundation. Tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services are also involved in the project's development through the x402 Foundation. Tempo is also developing the Machine Payments Protocol—an analogous standard for payments between machines. Back in March, analysts at Bernstein called AI agents the future of stablecoins.

As the leading cryptocurrency approaches $80,000, analysts at Bernstein believe the market is becoming fundamentally stronger.

The analysts explained the growth potential through several factors: Influx of institutional capital.

The company has accumulated 818,334 BTC and attracts yield-focused investors through its STRC product. Expanded access to crypto products via traditional financial infrastructure. Analysts highlighted the spot exchange-traded fund by Morgan Stanley and the Charles Schwab platform for trading digital gold and Ethereum.  Bernstein also evaluates the market beyond bitcoin.

According to them, bitcoin's dynamics are once again sensitive to traders' positioning, and the risk of sharp movements amid liquidations is increasing. Additionally, Glassnode pointed out the revival. The Spot CVD indicator, reflecting market buyers' activity, rose by 199% over the week — from $18.3 million to $54.8 million. Perpetual CVD increased by 174.7%, reaching $315.1 million. This indicates strengthening buying pressure simultaneously in the spot and derivatives markets. On-chain metrics also signal the return of capital. The adjusted transfer volume in the network of the leading cryptocurrency rose by 36.6% — to $7.6 billion.  Source: Glassnode.  Glassnode did not observe signs of speculative overheating. The share of "hot money" (funds from new short-term participants) decreased to 17.5% — significantly below historical levels of frenzy. According to analysts, the market is controlled by long-term holders.  An additional signal is the improvement in the unrealized profit and loss indicator, which rose from -7.4% to -3.5%. The share of supply in profit reached 63.9%. The number of losing investors is decreasing, and their pressure on quotes is weakening.  "In summary: the bitcoin market shows a combination of bullish momentum, cautious sentiment, and consolidation. While buying pressure remains steady, the decline in speculative activity suggests a more balanced approach: investors are balancing between risk and capital rotation," concluded Glassnode.  Back in April, analyst Michael Terpin predicted bitcoin's bottom at $57,000. He expects the cryptocurrency to reach this level in October.
