Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent proposal to encourage Iranian citizens to protest against their government was met with caution from U.S. President Donald Trump, according to Axios, citing two American officials and an Israeli source. According to Jin10, Trump expressed concerns during a phone call with Netanyahu, questioning the wisdom of inciting street protests that could lead to violence, asking, "Why should we call people to the streets and then watch them get shot?"

The Solana Foundation has announced its intention to position the Solana network as the core infrastructure for the emerging 'agentic internet,' where economic activities are initiated and executed by AI systems rather than humans. According to Odaily, Vibhu Norby, Chief Product Officer of the Solana Foundation, highlighted at the Digital Asset Summit in New York that AI is not just a vertical industry but a platform transformation impacting various sectors, including cryptocurrency. Norby emphasized that Solana's strategic focus is on payment infrastructure, with the network having processed approximately 15 million on-chain payments initiated by agents, primarily for machine-to-machine commercial transactions. The programmatic nature of crypto payments is a key attraction for agents, and stablecoins are expected to become the default method for paying any computational resources. He believes this will fundamentally reshape internet business models, enabling micropayments and pay-as-you-go systems that traditional payment channels cannot support. The Solana Foundation underscores its high-performance design as advantageous in this new paradigm, stating that agents are precise machines, and Solana is often a preferred choice for crypto payments. Additionally, advancements in AI technology have lowered development barriers, with Solana developers actively building tools for AI systems, including machine-readable 'skill' files and AI-first development platforms. Norby anticipates that future interactions with cryptocurrency will predominantly occur through agents, with 95% to 99% of transactions initiated by large language models.
