Binance opens crypto trading to AI agents with user-set controls

Binance has launched Agent OS, a developer platform that allows AI agents to access market data, monitor user accounts and execute crypto trades on the exchange.  According to a company announcement, the platform supports AI tools including ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, allowing users to authorize agents to view account information and place trades within configured permissions and limits.  Users can assign agents to dedicated subaccounts to separate funds and trading activity, configure their permissions and revoke access at any time. Binance said it can monitor trades placed through Agent OS but cannot see an agent‘s external information sources, interpretation or decision-making, which occur within the user’s chosen AI application.  Agent OS also connects agents to Binances payment and onchain tools, allowing them to make payments and interact with wallets and other onchain services.

Bitcoin breaks above 200-day moving average for first time since November

Bitcoins latest rally has pushed the cryptocurrency above a key long-term technical indicator for the first time in about nine months, offering a potential signal that its broader downtrend is losing momentum.  Charting platform Barchart highlighted on Thursday that Bitcoins (BTC) price had crossed above its 200-day moving average for the first time since November 2025, roughly a month after BTC reached an all-time high above $126,000.  The 200-day moving average is widely used to gauge longer-term market trends, with moves above the indicator often viewed as a sign of bullish momentum. A sustained break above the level could therefore suggest that Bitcoins months-long downtrend is beginning to weaken.  The move came as Bitcoin climbed to nearly $73,000 on Thursday, according to TradingView data.Source: Barchart  Bitcoin has gained more than 13% since Wednesday, when the US Treasury Department announced it would at least double the size of liquidity-support buybacks for longer-dated Treasury securities, raising the maximum from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation beginning Sept. 9.  The operation aims to improve liquidity at the long end of the Treasury market and initially pushed long-term yields lower, helping bolster risk appetite across financial markets.  Following the Treasury‘s announcement, Standard Chartered’s Geoff Kendrick said the

Bitcoin whale moves $86M after 11 years of dormancy

A group of Bitcoin wallets dormant since 2014 has transferred 1,214.42 BTC worth about $86 million as the cryptocurrency traded near a weekly high of $72,400.  Dormant Bitcoin wallets move $94 million  Bitcoin.com reported on Aug. 20, citing btcparser.com data, that 28 long-inactive wallets moved a combined 1,314.41 BTC between Aug. 19 and Aug. 20.  The Bitcoin was worth approximately $94.03 million at the time of the transactions. Wallets created in 2014 accounted for 1,214.42 BTC, or 92.4% of the total, with the coins valued at about $86 million.  Rather than moving through one large transaction, much of the activity appeared in matching amounts. Twenty-one transfers each carried 50 BTC from addresses created in November or December 2014, according to the report.  Several transactions were recorded in the same Bitcoin blocks, including block 963203. Their timing, matching sizes, and common address format suggest that the wallets may have been controlled by one or a small number of holders, although the available blockchain data does not establish their ownership.  Alongside the 2014 coins, three wallets created in 2016 transferred a combined 79.99 BTC. Two addresses dating to 2017 moved another 20 BTC during the same 24-hour period.  The report said another wallet, first seen on Dec. 26, 2014,

Binance Employees Detained in UAE Despite $2 Billion Emirati Backing

Binance runs its global exchange under Abu Dhabis regulator. Emirati police still detained two of its employees over financial crime inquiries, the New York Times reported.  All have been released. A third staff member, who leads the companys Dubai arm, answered questions at a police station in July.  Sponsored  Sponsored  A Foothold Built on Licenses and State Money  The Emirates is not a side market for Binance. It is the base.  Abu Dhabis Financial Services Regulatory Authority granted the exchange three licenses on December 8. No other crypto exchange had won a global license under that framework. The permissions went live on January 5.  The money runs just as deep. State-backed fund MGX invested $2 billion in March 2025. It paid in USD1, a stablecoin from World Liberty Financial, a venture the Trump family part-owns.  The relationship even shapes policy. Binance has cited its Abu Dhabi licensing rules to explain why it now handles some foreign police requests differently.  Airport Stops and an Overnight Hold  Two workers were pulled aside at Emirati airports, people familiar with the inquiries said. One midlevel employee passed through Sharjah this month. Officers took him to a station and held him overnight.  What police are chasing is unclear. Binance told the Emirati government that its staff

Bitcoins $73K push may hinge on ETF demand: Analysts

Bitcoin has climbed toward $73,000 after a record short squeeze and falling U.S. Treasury yields powered an 11% rally, but analysts have warned that continued ETF and spot demand will decide whether the breakout holds.  Bitcoins short squeeze has accelerated the breakout  Nansen Senior Research Analyst Nicolai Søndergaard told crypto.news that forced short covering accelerated Bitcoins rise, although institutional demand and improved liquidity conditions had already given the market an upward bias.  “Bitcoins move above $70,000 reflects a combination of forced short covering, renewed institutional demand and a more supportive liquidity backdrop,” Søndergaard said.  Bitcoin traded near $72,600 after reaching about $72,800 on Aug. 20, extending a rally that began when the price cleared resistance around $65,000 and $67,000. The asset had spent roughly six weeks inside a narrow range before the breakout caught bearish traders positioned for another decline.  CoinGlass data showed that more than $1 billion in Bitcoin shorts were liquidated within about one hour. Across the crypto market, short liquidations reached approximately $2.7 billion over 24 hours, the largest total in records dating to 2021. Shorts accounted for about 92% of almost $3 billion in total liquidations across more than 172,000 traders.  As reported earlier on Thursday, Bitcoin gained 11.4% in 24 hours
