Crypto news. Royal judgement.
BlockRun’s controlled spending test finds that some AI agents struggle with duplicate charges. Consensys launches software to connect institutional ledgers, while Kraken opens trading in a bank-issued euro stablecoin.
His Dampness has hired an assistant to save time. He is now spending the afternoon preventing it from paying twice.
BlockRun says six of ten AI models paid twice for data in its first Agent Money Benchmark. The controlled experiment used real USDC payments on Solana; its deceptive sellers were simulated, not an identified criminal operation.
Consensys announced Sovereign Network Interoperability on 2 November. The software coordinates transactions between institutions’ separate ledgers; Ethereum-compatible networks are available, with Canton support still to come.
Kraken says EUR CoinVertible trading went live on 3 November. EURCV is the euro-linked stablecoin issued by Société Générale-FORGE; availability in the Kraken app and Instant Buy depends on liquidity conditions.
