Robinhood unveiled autonomous trading agents alongside 24/7 weekend equity trading and U.S. perpetual futures. Major U.S. stock exchanges will launch overnight trading on December 6, moving equity markets to a 23-hour daily cycle. Meanwhile, EMVCo released draft specifications to standardize delegated payment limits for autonomous AI agents.</description></item><item><title>Clarity Act dies, Base deploys Cobalt, and Stripe picks Open USD</title><link>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-10-02-crypto/</link><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 12:21:45 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-10-02-crypto/</guid><description>The Senate&amp;rsquo;s failure to pass the Clarity Act cleared the way for sudden regulatory relief, including a five-year SEC exemption for tokenized equities and safe-harbor guidance on token buybacks. Stripe made Open USD its default stablecoin across card issuance rails on Tempo, while Base deployed its Cobalt hard fork featuring dormant conditional transactions and institutional asset controls. Cross-border banking moves forward as Lloyds and Visa pilot 24/7 stablecoin settlement, even as Dune data shows 99.994% of tokenized Treasury cash sits completely idle.</description></item><item><title>Kalshi Eyes $40B Valuation, Stripe Preps Tempo, and Apple Pay Lands in India</title><link>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-10-01-fintech/</link><pubDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 13:11:19 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-10-01-fintech/</guid><description>Kalshi is in talks to raise $1 billion at a staggering $40 billion valuation as prediction markets transition into full-scale financial exchanges. Apple Pay finally landed in India via an Axis Bank partnership, targeting credit card transactions across Apple hardware. Meanwhile, Stripe revealed details about Tempo, its dedicated settlement chain for internet money movement, and Citi linked its virtual account infrastructure to Coinbase to let corporate treasuries shuttle seamlessly between fiat and stablecoins.</description></item><item><title>Kalshi cuts liquidity perks over wash trading, Robinhood rolls out US perps</title><link>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-10-01-crypto/</link><pubDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 12:12:51 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-10-01-crypto/</guid><description>Kalshi informed the CFTC it will shut down its Volume Incentive Program no earlier than October 13 following allegations that repeated $5,500 prints artificially inflated ether perpetual volumes by over $5 billion. Robinhood is bringing perpetual futures to US users with up to 10x leverage backed by Bitstamp alongside 24/7 weekend equity trading. Five years after making Bitcoin legal tender, El Salvador is rolling out a digital dollar app on Coinbase&amp;rsquo;s Base network to capture remittances.

The bigger story is what agents actually earn: an autonomous agent burned $7,000 in API costs and $47 of its own money to generate $1.54 in revenue, while Deel claims 10,000 internal agents added $140M in ARR. RevenueCat data shows 37% of subscription churn comes from insufficient usage, and a Harvard study found 43.5% of ChatGPT queries are about tasks outside the asker&amp;rsquo;s own job. Plus: Stripe&amp;rsquo;s experimental WebMCP lets browser agents pay via structured tools, and SaaStr says buy agents, don&amp;rsquo;t build them.</description></item><item><title>SEC Greenlights Tokenized Stocks as Stripe Shows the SaaS-Pocalypse Never Came</title><link>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-09-21-fintech/</link><pubDate>Mon, 21 Sep 2026 13:12:36 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-09-21-fintech/</guid><description>The SEC is preparing to allow public companies to issue tokenized shares, a first for US capital markets, with dividends and voting rights traveling on-chain. Stripe&amp;rsquo;s payment data undercuts the &amp;ldquo;SaaS-pocalypse&amp;rdquo; narrative, showing new platform businesses up over 180% year-over-year. Meanwhile, Grab is buying 60% of Atome Financial for $1.49 billion, and Anthropic&amp;rsquo;s IPO slips by a month. The day&amp;rsquo;s biggest story: a $75 billion fintech, Revolut, signals a potential London listing, and the SEC&amp;rsquo;s own framework suggests the tokenization test is closer than you think.</description></item><item><title>Stripe and Advent walk away from a $53B PayPal bid; Walmart flips on Apple Pay</title><link>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-08-31-fintech/</link><pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 13:11:36 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-08-31-fintech/</guid><description>Stripe and Advent International have abandoned their pursuit of a $50B+ acquisition of PayPal after the board rejected their $60.50-per-share offer, sending PayPal down as much as 16% premarket. Socure raised at a $5.2B valuation and bought Fravity to fold agentic fraud automation into RiskOS. The Ninth Circuit ruled sports-event contracts are gambling, not swaps, teeing up a CFTC-vs-states fight at the Supreme Court. RQD Clearing raised $74M to expand its modern clearing stack into new regions and digital assets. And Walmart will start accepting Apple Pay and Google Pay at select stores this week, ending a decade-long refusal.</description></item><item><title>Anthropic teaches agents to drive lab gear, Cloudflare sheds 100TB of DNS bloat</title><link>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-08-28-tech/</link><pubDate>Fri, 28 Aug 2026 10:37:35 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-08-28-tech/</guid><description>Anthropic shipped the Model Hardware Standard, a driver layer that lets AI agents control microscopes, cameras and lasers over a common interface, aiming to collapse weeks of lab setup into minutes. Cloudflare cut the per-entry footprint of its 1.1.1.1 DNS cache by more than 50%, freeing roughly 100TB of fleet memory and trimming lookup latency by 19%. Stripe closed a $7B deal for OpenRouter, which routes over 10 trillion tokens a day across 400+ models. Meta is internally projected to spend as much as $10B a year on Anthropic despite Zuck publicly swiping at the lab. Anthropic&amp;rsquo;s revenue run rate reportedly hit $65B by end of July while OpenAI&amp;rsquo;s tripled from $13B to $40B in a year.</description></item><item><title>Stripe buys OpenRouter for $7B, Anthropic shops a $10B revolver, and Klarna loses a quarter of its value</title><link>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-08-27-fintech/</link><pubDate>Thu, 27 Aug 2026 13:33:59 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-08-27-fintech/</guid><description>Klarna shares fell nearly 25% after a Germany warning highlighted how thin US trading liquidity can punish foreign fintechs. Stripe closed its largest-ever acquisition, taking OpenRouter and its eight million users behind one API, while telling investors staying private is now a strategic advantage. Anthropic is lining up a $10B+ revolving credit facility ahead of an IPO that could match SpaceX&amp;rsquo;s $75B raise, and Google Cloud, Revolut and Coinbase each shipped new AI or tokenization infrastructure for finance.</description></item><item><title>Bitcoin tags $71K on $517M ETF day, Clarity Act gets an Oval Office push</title><link>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-08-21-crypto/</link><pubDate>Fri, 21 Aug 2026 12:23:28 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-08-21-crypto/</guid><description>Bitcoin broke $71,000 after spot ETFs pulled in $517 million on August 19, the largest single-day haul in months, and a separate $189 million flooded into ethereum products as the broader rally torched $2.7 billion of short positions. Ethereum added 18% on the same move. In Washington, Trump hosted a CEO-heavy Oval Office meeting to push the Clarity Act toward a September 15 procedural vote, and COIN, CRCL, and BLSH each jumped roughly 8 to 10% on the optimism. The technical beat was heavier: Tempo shipped a Touch-ID-gated authorization layer for agentic CI/CD, and an ethresear.ch post proposed a bridge-free cross-chain exchange model that would have made the 2022 bridge heists structurally impossible.</description></item></channel></rss>
