According to an official X (Twitter) announcement, starting today, the original AINFT official account will transition to B.AI. The B.AI brand focuses on advancing Agent Finance—enabling AI Agents to autonomously perform tasks such as fund management, trade execution, and yield optimization—thereby granting AI genuine financial autonomy while accelerating the technical realization of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). To ensure a smooth community transition, the rebranding will be implemented in phased upgrades, avoiding disruptions from an abrupt, all-at-once switch. During this process, AINFT will continue operating as a core sub-brand within the B.AI ecosystem. All AINFT-related content, technological updates, and community activities will migrate to the new channel @AINFTcom (https://t.me/AINFTcom).
According to official announcements, B.AI (http://b.ai/), the foundational economic engine dedicated to driving the evolution of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), has officially launched. As an infrastructure-level project designed for the AI Agent era, B.AI will build a standardized on-chain identity system and a frictionless payment protocol, granting machines independent economic sovereignty—enabling them to autonomously conduct value exchange and collaborative coordination, thereby transcending constraints imposed by the physical world and financial gateways. B.AI (http://b.ai/) not only aims to close the economic loop among agents and between humans and agents but also seeks to accelerate the emergence of AGI, realizing truly borderless intelligence and universal sharing of value. The official launch of B.AI (http://b.ai/) marks a pivotal leap from “tool intelligence” to “economic intelligence,” laying the foundational bedrock for building an open, equitable, and inclusive intelligent society.
According to Cointelegraph, the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) released its Virtual Asset Issuance Guidance on Thursday, establishing clear requirements for the structural design, disclosure, and distribution of stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). The guidance categorizes token issuances into three pathways: Category 1 covers fiat- and asset-backed virtual assets; Category 2 requires distribution through licensed intermediaries, which are responsible for conducting due diligence and ongoing compliance verification; and Category 3 comprises functionally limited exempt virtual assets. Ruben Bombardi, VARA’s General Counsel, stated that the framework enhances transparency through whitepapers and independent risk disclosure statements, providing issuers with “greater regulatory certainty” and market participants with a “single, dedicated reference point.” This guidance serves as an interpretive document clarifying VARA’s existing Virtual Asset Issuance Rules Handbook—not as newly enacted legislation.

According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Department of Justice jointly filed an application with a federal court on Tuesday evening seeking to block Arizona from enforcing its state gambling laws against prediction market operator Kalshi. The two agencies argue that Kalshi’s contracts—tied to real-world events such as sporting events and elections—are, in substance, financial derivatives (swaps) subject to the Commodity Exchange Act and the federal regulatory framework, rather than state-level gambling regulations. Arizona had previously brought criminal charges against Kalshi, with a trial scheduled for April 13. Courts across the country have issued conflicting rulings: the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (New Jersey) has leaned toward supporting the federal regulatory position, while other district courts have remained open to the state’s arguments.
According to Cointelegraph, blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis released a report stating that stablecoin-adjusted transaction volume is projected to reach $719 trillion by 2035—marking a substantial increase from $28 trillion in 2025. If two major macro catalysts align, this figure could double further to $15 trillion, surpassing the current annual global cross-border payment volume of approximately $10 trillion. The two catalysts are: (1) the transfer of over $100 trillion in wealth from the Baby Boomer generation to younger, crypto-native generations; and (2) stablecoins fully replacing traditional payment rails as the default payment infrastructure. Rachael Lucas, an analyst at Australian crypto exchange BTC Markets, noted that strategic moves—including Stripe’s acquisition of Bridge and Mastercard’s partnership with BVNK—are concrete steps forward. Coupled with regulatory clarity provided by the GENIUS Act, institutional participation is expected to expand significantly.
