Base has launched Base MCP, a system enabling AI assistants to initiate real on-chain operations within the network. Transactions can be formed through Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, and other models. Introducing Base MCPYour agent's new gateway to Base→ Connect an agent to your Base Account→ Enable it to swap, trade, and manage your portfolio→ Use plugins from leading apps on BaseThe next stage of the agentic onchain economy pic.twitter.com/w8Jbj3JuoL— Base (@base) May 26, 2026 The tool links a wallet with artificial intelligence through Model Context Protocol (MCP), a protocol for data exchange between models and external services. In this configuration, the assistant can not only respond to requests but also form blockchain transactions based on the user's text command. Base MCP offers: fund transfers; token exchanges; portfolio and transaction history viewing; interaction with dapps within the Base ecosystem. Initially, Morpho, Moonwell, Aerodrome, Bankr, Avantis, Virtuals, and Uniswap are integrated. This covers lending, DEX, perpetual futures, AI agents, and new tokens within the network. Connection is made via the server https://mcp.base.org. The documentation also mentions Claude Web, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Hermes. AI Forms — User Signs Base emphasizes that AI does not have access to private keys and cannot send transactions independently. The assistant forms an operation request, which is saved in the Base Account as pending confirmation. The user receives a link and manually approves or rejects the action. Only then is the transaction signed and sent to the network. Before confirmation, the system shows a simulation of balance and asset changes. The company believes this mechanism reduces phishing risks and attacks through fake dapps: the transaction is formed within the wallet and AI connection, not pulled from external web interfaces. There are currently no independent audits or public security tests of the project. Focus on Expandability Base has opened documentation for creating custom plugins. Developers can describe instructions on how AI should work with external services, CLI, or other MCP servers. After this, the assistant can convert responses from third-party services into on-chain actions — fund transfers, token exchanges, message signing. Effectively, MCP becomes a layer between AI and DeFi protocols in the Base network. Examples of use include: checking USDC balance; viewing wallet addresses; sending funds to an ENS address; finding the USDC storage with the highest yield and making a deposit. In all scenarios involving fund movement, separate manual confirmation is required. In May, Keyrock described cryptocurrencies as the financial foundation for AI agents, as payment card infrastructure is poorly suited for microtransactions.

David Hoffman, co-founder of the educational platform Bankless, has reduced his position in Ethereum, stating that he no longer anticipates a significant structural revaluation of the asset. I spent the weekend putting my thoughts about $ETH and Ethereum into this articleI built my career, community, and business on Ethereum, so the decision to sell deserves a deeper explanation I hope this is sufficientThank you, all https://t.co/cPCbMcz8EY— David Hoffman (@TrustlessState) May 26, 2026 Hoffman emphasized that his view of Ethereum as a network remains positive, but his investment thesis has shifted. According to him, the concept of "ETH is money" has not failed but has rather fully realized itself. The market, in his view, has given the asset "the price it deserves."  Ethereum "Distributes" Value to the Ecosystem Hoffman is confident that the project will continue to develop as infrastructure, but only a small part of this growth will be reflected in the native token's price. The reason lies in the network's architecture: Ethereum redistributes economic value in favor of decentralized applications, L2 solutions, and other projects. He described Ethereum as "a giver, not a taker." The network provides security and DeFi tools almost at cost, without accumulating a significant share of the created value in the asset. Hoffman considers the volume of generated fees as a key factor in evaluating L1 blockchains. In his opinion, Ethereum has not maintained its leadership in revenue among first-layer networks long enough to trigger a new wave of capitalization growth. As examples of the direct connection between fee income and token price, he cited the dynamics of Ether in 2021, Solana in 2024, and NEAR in 2026. The Dominance of Stablecoins and "Dollar Hegemony" Hoffman also revised his view on DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs as the foundation of a fully autonomous financial system.  He noted that the period of positive perception of the crypto industry was short (late 2020 — early 2022). Outside this timeframe, the public image of the sector was shaped by hacks, speculation, and low practical value for the mass user. He paid particular attention to stablecoins. In his view, Ethereum effectively scales recognized forms of money — primarily dollar tokens. The volume of "stablecoins" on the network grew from $3 billion in 2020 to over $160 billion. However, this success rather strengthens "dollar hegemony" than the position of the second-largest cryptocurrency as an independent monetary asset. Selling the Asset Is Not Abandoning the Network Hoffman specifically highlighted that realizing profits in Ethereum does not indicate a bearish stance towards the ecosystem. "I remain incredibly optimistic about the Ethereum network and its ecosystem," he concluded. The Bankless co-founder explained that he has reallocated capital to other market opportunities. At present, he sees no basis for a significant change in the valuation of the leading altcoin in either direction. In May, macro analyst Jordi Visser increased his position in Ethereum, calling the asset "fuel" for AI agents.

BitMine Immersion Technologies has reported the acquisition of 111,942 ETH (approximately $232 million at the time of writing). This transaction marks the company's largest purchase in 2026. 🧵 1/ BitMine provided its latest holdings update for May 26, 2026 $12.3 billion in total crypto + "moonshots": — 5,390,404 ETH at $2,134 per ETH per ETH (@coinbase) — 202 Bitcoin (BTC) — $200 million stake in Beast Industries…— Bitmine (NYSE-BMNR) $ETH (@BitMNR) May 26, 2026 As of May 25, the firm's reserves exceeded 5.39 million ETH, representing about 4.47% of the total coin supply. BitMine has valued its total crypto assets, cash, and venture investments at $12.3 billion, including 202 BTC. The company's chairman, Tom Lee, described the drop in ETH below $2200 as an "attractive opportunity" to increase their position. He also reiterated the approaching "supercycle" in the crypto market and Ethereum. Among the drivers, Lee pointed to the tokenization of assets on Wall Street and the development of autonomous AI agents. Effective Management BitMine not only accumulates Ethereum but also stakes its assets. The company locks a significant portion of its holdings in the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization—currently around 4.71 million ETH. According to the firm's calculations, the potential annual revenue from staking could reach $276 million, with a yield of 2.75% per annum over the past seven days. However, this forecast is accompanied by a disclaimer about risks and uncertainties. The company confirmed its goal to increase its share of Ethereum to 5% of the total supply. To achieve this, BitMine needs to acquire approximately 644,596 more ETH. Earlier in May, the co-founder of Bankless sold part of his Ethereum portfolio, expressing doubts about the asset's overvaluation.
