forklog.media Coinbase Launches Service for AI Agents

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has introduced Coinbase for Agents, a service that connects an AI agent to a user's account for trading, payments, and other operations within set limits. The solution is available through the MCP protocol (for use with ChatGPT or Claude) and a command-line interface for developers. The agent can operate with the user's main account or through a separate isolated portfolio. Examples provided by the company include rebalancing a portfolio to 60% BTC, 20% ETH, and 20% SOL, as well as placing limit orders when the market drops by 5%, 10%, or 15%. Another scenario is purchasing $20 worth of ETH daily for two weeks after analyzing 30 days of hourly prices. According to Coinbase, the service already supports spot and derivatives trading. The company plans to add stocks, index funds, prediction markets, and commodities. Compliance and transaction monitoring functions operate automatically. The agent only accesses operations authorized by the user. In the future, subscribers will be able to specify the exact trade size, list of permissible interactions, and spending limits. Additionally, the Coinbase app now includes an "Advisor" (Coinbase Advisor), an integrated AI assistant that provides investment recommendations and is registered with the SEC and CFTC. Source: Coinbase blog. In April, developers of the Coinbase-supported x402 payment standard launched a marketplace for applications and services aimed at enhancing the utility of AI agents.

forklog.media Jeff Bezos’ AI Startup Raises $12B for Industrial AI Development

Prometheus, a startup founded by Jeff Bezos and Vik Bajaj, has raised $12 billion in a Series B funding round, valuing the company at $41 billion, according to TechCrunch. The company is developing an AI system to accelerate the design and production of physical objects, ranging from jet engines to medical devices and consumer electronics. The founders describe the future product as a "universal AI engineer," intended to streamline the process from concept and prototype to mass production. In an interview with Axios, Bezos explained using a jet engine as an example, noting that altering its design to increase thrust by 10% can take years due to manufacturing complexities. Prometheus aims to reduce such cycles by a factor of ten or more. The startup emphasized that it is not about creating robots or simply automating factories. Prometheus focuses on developing AI for the real economy and the early stages of production: design, modeling, prototyping, and process optimization. Details of the product and its public launch timeline remain confidential. According to Axios, the company does not disclose how it trains its models but acknowledges the absence of an "internet of manufacturing data" to feed into the model. "The cycle from idea to mass production and market launch can be very long," Bezos noted. He stated that if a task currently requiring 100 engineers and 10 years could be accomplished by 10 engineers in one year, "we will simply build a lot more things." Bajaj added that simplifying the realization of ideas will lead to more inventions and greater involvement in the process. According to Semafor, Prometheus uses data from physics laws, its own tests, and collaborations with companies. A significant portion of the funds will be allocated to computing power, utilizing an internal cluster and purchasing resources from external providers. This round marks the second for Prometheus, following a $6.2 billion raise at the end of 2025. New investors include JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, DST Global, Arch Venture Partners, and Bezos himself, as reported by Axios and Semafor. In April, the startup Physical Intelligence, founded by former Google engineers, introduced the π0.7 model. Developers claimed a "qualitative leap" in AI's ability to generalize skills and perform tasks it was not directly trained for.

forklog.media Eurojust Shuts Down Crypto Service AudiA6

Law enforcement agencies from 11 countries have shut down the crypto service AudiA6, which was based in Georgia, as part of a joint operation. Between 2022 and 2025, more than €336 million could have been laundered through the platform. Placeholder on the AudiA6 website. Source: Europol. The investigation involved agencies from the US, Australia, France, Poland, Georgia, Iceland, Canada, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, and the UK, coordinated through Eurojust and Europol. As part of the operation, two alleged administrators of the platform were detained. Authorities conducted searches at three locations, disabled 25 domains, seized over 30 servers, confiscated more than 80 vehicles, and several properties. Authorities also froze €692,000 in cryptocurrency and seized an additional €86,000. According to Eurojust, the service was used by ransomware operators. They transferred stolen cryptocurrency to the group's wallets and received "cleaned" funds back within about an hour. The origin of the funds was obscured by a chain of transactions. The commission ranged from 3% to 10%. European authorities also linked AudiA6 to the darknet forum Dark2Web, where illegal services were advertised and cybercriminals communicated. Investigators identified over 6,000 Know Your Customer (KYC) records linked to "money mule" accounts. Suspects registered these accounts using stolen or purchased identities and used Russian-speaking intermediaries to launder criminal proceeds through crypto exchanges. According to Chainalysis, since 2021, approximately 10,333 BTC, valued at around $389 million, were sent to AudiA6 wallets. In March 2026, Europol, in collaboration with Coinbase, Microsoft, and other tech companies, shut down the Tycoon 2FA platform, which provided phishing software services.
