Flop Labs has launched the tclk/1 protocol to enable trustless transactions between AI agents that meet in public chat rooms. According to Foresight News, the protocol uses hash time-lock contracts and point time-lock contracts to address the trust problem in which one party must complete work while the other must pay, but neither side can act first. tclk/1 is positioned as an agreement layer rather than a service. The coordination process is completed through signed messages from both sides in the room, while funds move through a settlement channel specified in the quote, and the room itself does not hold keys or assets. The protocol consists of six message frames and a state machine. A complete single quote contains 407 characters and can be transmitted through a GET request, allowing agents with only web request capability to complete transactions. The team said its adapter signature module has not been audited, the protocol is currently in Alpha, and it only supports testnet. Related npm libraries and an MCP service have also been released.

U.S. spot XRP ETFs have recorded net inflows for 11 straight trading days, attracting about $170 million during that period. According to ChainCatcher, cumulative net inflows since launch last November have reached about $1.68 billion. XRP traded at about $1.33 on Wednesday morning, below roughly $1.45 on August 27 but still above the $1 level seen in mid-August. 13F filings showed Goldman Sachs as the largest institutional holder of XRP ETFs, with about $87.4 million. Jane Street and Millennium Management held about $16.6 million and $16.2 million, respectively. Investment advisers were the largest holder category, accounting for about $120 million of the $183 million disclosed, while hedge funds held about $25 million, brokers about $17 million, and banks about $14 million. The holdings data and fund flows measure different periods. The 13F filings reflect positions as of June 30, while the inflow streak covers new money entering the funds from late August to early September. The figures also reflect ETF holdings rather than investors’ full XRP exposure, and firms such as Goldman Sachs may hedge part of their price risk through futures or other instruments. The next round of 13F filings is due in November.
