Foresight News reports that AI agent platform Bankr announced a response to "X's proposed API update terms, which would prevent applications from creating fee pools without user consent," stating, "Charging fees has never been the ultimate goal. Instead, it serves as a proof of concept demonstrating that developers can use token-guided mechanisms to create real businesses through AI agents. Bankr will adjust its deployment strategy and will now only allow developers to deploy independently via the X platform. Developers must build, deploy, and profit from their applications on their own, maintaining full autonomous control."

February 14 News, Arbitrum (ARB) continues to face pressure in 2026, with a decline of 40% year-to-date. Looking back at 2025, its price once dropped more than 70%, and now it has again hit a historic low. After falling below $0.20, almost all holders are in a floating loss, and market confidence has clearly been affected. Despite the weak price performance, on-chain data shows subtle changes. According to DeFiLlama data, the total market value of stablecoins on the Arbitrum network increased slightly by about 2% this week, with nearly $65 million in new funds. Among them, USDC's share rose to 56.8%, becoming the main supporting force. However, the network's TVL remains at multi-month lows, indicating that overall liquidity has not yet recovered, and on-chain buffer capacity remains relatively weak.

February 14 News, the Bitcoin community has recently engaged in intense discussions about post-quantum security upgrades. With the exposure of the BIP-360 proposal, core developers plan to implement a soft fork to introduce stronger resistance to quantum attacks for Taproot-based addresses. This proposal is seen as an important step for Bitcoin to address future quantum computing threats and has become a focal point of current market attention. The core goal of BIP-360 is to reduce the risk of exposing public keys in Pay-to-Taproot (P2TR) addresses during transactions. The scheme will remove the "key-to-spend" path and introduce a Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR) structure, enabling verification without exposing the public key. Since Taproot was widely adopted after its launch in 2021, related risks were initially overlooked but are now recognized as potential systemic vulnerabilities.
