Bitcoin developer Paul Sztorc provided further clarification regarding the eCash hard fork and dismissed allegations of "stealing" Satoshi Nakamoto's coins. To clear things up:— We do not take any of Satoshi's BTC— We **gift** Satoshi 600,000 eCash, instead of gifting 1.1 M— That is **600k more** than Satoshi got from Litecoin, Ethereum, Solana, Tether, etc (ie, 0)— Our coins are not named "BTC", they are named eCash. BTC…— Paul Sztorc (@Truthcoin) April 27, 2026 "We are not taking Satoshi's bitcoins, but gifting him 600,000 eCash. Balances will remain untouched," he wrote. Earlier, the programmer proposed relaunching the first cryptocurrency while preserving the network's basic architecture. Holders of digital gold would receive an equivalent amount of eCash.  However, Sztorc intends to distribute the coins presumably belonging to Nakamoto differently: from 1.1 million BTC, 600,000 eCash would be allocated to the Bitcoin creator, with the remaining 500,000 directed towards ecosystem development.  Presumed Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet. Source: Arkham.  According to him, this approach would help avoid a "zombie project" scenario, where a fork exists without genuine support from participants and developers. The community criticized the idea, arguing that asset redistribution contradicts property inviolability. Sztorc countered that the discussion concerns emission rules in the new blockchain, not real coins. He also suggested that a significant portion of early bitcoins might be irretrievably lost, as they have not been moved for over a decade. The developer added that in the "heated" debate surrounding this topic, misinformation sometimes spreads. Back in mid-April, Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp and a group of experts presented a draft of the controversial proposal BIP-361, which suggests freezing coins vulnerable to quantum computers.

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.
