Bitget announced a strategic partnership with the crypto data intelligence platform Market Prophit to jointly launch an AI-driven social trading tool. This feature is based on Market Prophit's AI engine, which performs real-time scans of vast data on platform X and combines it with the historical market prediction performance of relevant accounts to provide a comprehensive score, helping users more efficiently identify high-quality trading signals and execute strategies directly on the platform.The tool supports a two-way trading mechanism, allowing users to automatically follow high-quality social trading accounts or to take reverse positions on accounts with significant long-term prediction deviations. By transforming unstructured social media sentiment into systematic, executable trading strategies, it further enhances the complete decision-making chain from information capture and signal filtering to one-click trading.Igor Gonta, CEO of Market Prophit, stated that price fluctuations in the crypto market are often highly correlated with social media sentiment. This collaboration aims to convert complex and dispersed market sentiment into quantifiable, tradable standardized indicators, providing users with more systematic trading references to help them capture a wider range of strategic opportunities in a volatile market.

CoW Swap tweeted that it has regained control of the cow.fi domain and has been operating normally on cow.finance for some time, and is currently gradually transitioning back to the original domain.The official statement indicated that the attacker deceived the DNS registrar with forged documents on April 14 to gain control of the cow.fi domain; the attacker deployed a highly realistic phishing website, implementing it in two phases: first, inducing users to sign malicious transactions through a wallet stealer, and then stealing mnemonic phrases and passwords through fake wallet pop-ups; this attack targeted the domain registrar and did not involve a breach of CoW Swap's own infrastructure or private keys.

On-chain detective ZachXBT disclosed today that a collaborative network consisting of at least 10 accounts is generating traffic on social platform X by creating panic-inducing content related to wars and ultimately directing it to cryptocurrency scam projects.This network acquires accounts with an existing follower base, frequently posts sensational "apocalyptic" content, and amplifies dissemination by having multiple secondary accounts retweet each other, quickly gaining millions of views and significant interactions. Investigations show that these accounts also utilize AI to generate fake personas, such as fabricating an "Asian version of Mario Nawfal" to enhance credibility. After gaining traffic, the relevant accounts promote fake airdrop events or cryptocurrency project scams, including a concentrated promotion of a pump-and-dump project named ORAMAMA on February 22, 2026, which is then no longer mentioned.On-chain data indicates that this operation has brought six-figure profits to the team behind it. Meanwhile, many genuine large accounts inadvertently engage in interactions through comments and retweets, further amplifying the content dissemination effect. ZachXBT warns that this combination model of "traffic farms + AI content + cryptocurrency scams" has become highly mature and is easily replicable. If similar mechanisms are exploited by higher-level organizations, their potential impact will far exceed the realm of financial fraud and may even evolve into a tool for public opinion manipulation.ZachXBT calls for platforms to strengthen regulation, implementing bans and legal accountability for such manipulative behaviors. He also advises users to carefully verify account histories and information sources before engaging in interactions to combat the increasingly rampant phenomenon of false content and "interaction bait."

According to a report by the WSJ, Meta Platforms (META.O) CEO Mark Zuckerberg hopes that everyone inside and outside the company will eventually have their own personal AI agent, starting with himself. According to insiders, Zuckerberg is developing a CEO agent to help him manage work affairs.The agent is still in development and is helping Zuckerberg access information more quickly. For example, it retrieves responses that would typically require layers of communication to obtain. The use of AI tools has rapidly spread within Meta, partly because it has now become a consideration in employee performance evaluations.Insiders revealed that Meta's internal message board is filled with employees sharing newly discovered AI cases and the new tools they are building with AI. Employees have begun using personal agent tools like My Claw, which can access their chat histories and work documents and communicate on their behalf with colleagues (or their colleagues' personal agents). There is even a group on the internal message board where employee personal agents communicate with each other.
