The post Sui Blockchain Payments Achieve 6 Million TPS Milestone appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
On July 4, 2026, a live public experiment pushed Sui blockchain payments infrastructure to a peak of 6,086,766 transactions per second — more than six times the experiment’s own target — as autonomous AI agents battled each other across games, payments, and chat in real time. It was not just a stress test. It was a demonstration of what Mysten Labs believes crypto infrastructure should actually look like. Key takeaways Sui mainnet hit a peak of 6,086,766 TPS on July 4, 2026, driven by AI agents through programmable offchain payment tunnels. Since August 2025, Sui has processed over one trillion dollars in stablecoin transaction volume. Erebor Bank, an OCC-chartered institution valued at over four billion dollars, has integrated with Sui. SUI has a fixed maximum supply of 10 billion tokens with deflationary burn mechanisms reducing actual circulating supply below that cap. Sui governanc
The post This App Wants Bitcoin Payments to Feel Like Sending a Text appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
DataReportal’s 2026 mid-year report found 93.6% of online adults use chat apps or messenger platforms each month. WhatsApp users open the app more than 20 times per day on Android and spend an average of 59 minutes per day inside the app. Payments have followed the same mobile pattern. The World Bank’s Global Findex 2025 found 79% of adults worldwide now have a financial account, while 84% of adults in low- and middle-income countries own a mobile phone, and 3 billion have smartphones. This creates a product opening for private chat-based payments. People already use messaging apps to coordinate dinner bills, creator support, gifts, small business payments, and peer-to-peer transfers, but the final payment often requires a separate wallet, app, address, invoice, or custodial account. Radar Chat, a new open-source messaging app from the team behind Cake Wallet, brings Bitcoin Lightn
The post BNB Hack Winners Showcase Autonomous Trading Agents appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
When blockchain developers compete to build AI systems that can trade autonomously on-chain, the results say something real about where crypto infrastructure is heading. The BNB Hack winners from the AI Trading Agent Edition just gave the industry a concrete preview — 21 teams walking away with a share of $36,000 after proving that AI agents can analyze market data, manage wallets, and execute strategies without human intervention. Key takeaways BNB Hack: AI Trading Agent Edition was co-hosted by BNB Chain, CoinMarketCap, and Trust Wallet, challenging builders to create autonomous trading agents for onchain markets. 21 winning teams shared a total prize pool of $36,000 across five prize categories. Neural Alpha by ClipX took first place in the Autonomous Trading Agents track, earning $10,000. The Strategy Skills track recognized reusable components that expand agent capabilities, with Narr
The post Tether Invests $20M in Mercado Bitcoin to Expand Brazil Operations appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Tether backed Mercado Bitcoin with fresh funding to expand payments, lending and tokenized investments. Mercado Bitcoin serves 4.5 million users and has issued more than R$2 billion in tokenized assets. The deal reflects growing interest in Brazil’s regulated digital asset and blockchain finance market. Tether has invested $20 million in a funding round for Brazilian crypto platform Mercado Bitcoin, marking its latest investment in Latin America’s growing digital asset market. The companies announced the investment on July 7, saying the funding will help Mercado Bitcoin expand payments, lending, tokenized investments and capital markets as demand for blockchain-based financial services grows across the region. Mercado Bitcoin confirmed separately that the funding round raised R$100 million through its parent company, 2TM. The investment comes as Brazil continues to streng
AI agents, and the large language models (LLMs) that power them, have short memories. That’s by design. There is only so much conversation that can be encoded into tokens and accessed reliably by the LLM. Retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG, can be used to give agents and LLMs memories larger than their context windows. But how agents use RAG, or other mechanisms for retaining the details of a conversation, can make all the difference.
With the rise of AI agents, there has been a corresponding rise in complementary software tools that give both agents and LLMs expanded memory capabilities. Most of the time, this means giving an agent or model persistent memory across sessions, so that previous context can be restored automatically. But, again, how that’s done can vary tremendously with each tool.
Here are some of the major projects in the AI agent memory space, each with their own particular spins, strengths, and orientations.

BNB Agent Studio now enables seamless AI agent access to CoinMarketCap data using Binance Pay’s x402 protocol. Here’s what it means for developers.
Developers building AI agents on BNB Agent Studio can now integrate CoinMarketCap (CMC) data with just a few clicks. This new feature, live as of July 7, leverages Binance Pay’s B402 protocol, allowing agents to seamlessly access and pay for CMC’s data without the need for separate API keys or custom payment setups. The integration includes four key endpoints at launch: DEX Search, Quotes Latest, Listings Latest, and DEX Pairs Quotes. These endpoints provide critical market data such as token prices, trading pair stats, and ranked listings. Payments for each data request are automatically handled by the agent’s wallet via x402, with transactions settled on the BNB Smart Chain (B
The post Tether Invests $20M In Mercado Bitcoin, Expanding Latin American Crypto Infrastructure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Tether is no longer content just issuing the world’s largest stablecoin. The company is now buying into the platforms where that liquidity moves. On Tuesday, the issuer announced a $20 million strategic investment in Mercado Bitcoin, a regulated Brazilian on-chain financial services platform, as first noted in the original report. The deal puts Tether directly inside one of Latin America’s most licensed crypto operations, with 4.5 million users, over R$2 billion in tokenized assets issued, and more than 10 regulatory licenses spanning Brazil and Europe. The capital will fuel Mercado Bitcoin’s push into payments, tokenized investment products, lending, on-chain capital markets, and international expansion. For a platform already operating under a layered regulatory framework, the funding isn’t about survival—it’s about scaling a model that merges tradition
