“$1.5B in stolen crypto… and it just disappears into the swamp.” — Geoff White Even with advanced blockchain tracing, huge volumes of illicit funds still vanish into informal crypto networks. What are compliance teams missing? Read the full breakdown and watch the webinar: crystalintelligence.com/thought-leader…

USDC minted $1.55B this week. But the users didn’t follow. Our latest Crystal Foresight data shows 82% of USDC transfer volume comes from issuer operations, not real peer-to-peer activity. So what does stablecoin demand actually look like right now? Full analysis ↓ crystalintelligence.com/market-analysi…

Thank you @sorayamh and @CentralBankRw for hosting us alongside #IFF2026

Our CEO @navinblockchain is speaking at the Inclusive FinTech Forum 2026 🇷🇼 📍 Kigali 📅 10–12 March Topic: Digital Finance & the Adoption of Digital Assets in Africa 3,000+ global leaders shaping the future of inclusive finance. See you there.

If banks block crypto, users don’t stop. They switch to mobile wallets. In some emerging markets, 80%+ of P2P crypto trades now settle via mobile money. Looks like a normal transfer. On-chain? Not always. New research from Crystal: crystalintelligence.com/investigations…

"A banking license is nothing but a set of code." 🏦💻 On the latest episode of AI on Air, @navinblockchain (CEO, @CrystalPlatform) drops a visionary prediction on the future of finance: the rise of "Bank as Code". As we move toward an Agentic Economy, AI agents will become first-class financial actors, requiring a high-velocity, machine-native banking infrastructure that operates 24/7 without friction. At Kite, we are building the decentralized AI infrastructure to power this transition and ensure a secure, transparent future for autonomous agents. Watch the highlight below! 👇

「银行牌照不过是代码而已。」🏦💻 在最新一期 AI on Air 中， @navinblockchain （ @CrystalPlatform CEO）分享了对金融未来的前瞻预测：「Bank as Code」的兴起。 随着我们迈向智能体经济，AI 智能体将成为一流金融参与者，需要高速、机器原生的银行基础设施，实现 24/7 无摩擦运作。 在 Kite，我们正在构建去中心化 AI 基础设施，来驱动这一转型，并为自治智能体确保安全透明的未来。 下方观看精彩剪辑👇

Agent Reputation will be the new foundation of trust in the agentic economy. AI agents are rapidly evolving from chatbots into autonomous financial actors that can hold wallets and execute real transactions. As non-human entities start moving capital, the biggest challenge is clear: how do we establish verifiable "Agent Reputation" and adapt institutional compliance (KYC/AML) for the machine age? Join us for Episode 14 of AI on AIR as we explore the trust infrastructure for the Agentic Economy. Our founders @ChiZhangData and @scottshics will be joined by @navinblockchain (CEO, @CrystalPlatform), former executive at @HSBC, @Citi, and @Ripple, and a pioneer in blockchain analytics & global compliance, who previously served as Managing Director leading South Asia & MENA at Ripple. 📍 Live on Kite AI’s X 📅 Feb 26 🕐 8:30 AM PST 📌 The Trust Infrastructure for the Agentic Economy: Reputation, Compliance & Autonomous Finance We’ll discuss: • Why the heavily regulated financial sector is one of the hardest environments for autonomous AI agents • Shifting from human-centric KYC to Machine Identity and KYA (Know Your Agent) • What metrics should define a “trustworthy” AI fiduciary, and could its reputation become a tradable asset? • Non-negotiable guardrails (budget limits, revocation, auditability, exception handling) before institutions let agents spend at machine speed • How Crystal’s real-time blockchain intelligence + Kite’s Passport framework can audit AI behaviors and close the compliance gap • Liability when an autonomous agent inadvertently triggers a compliance incident Set your reminder and join us live. The future of agentic finance depends on getting trust right. 🪁

Trust is being reshaped across finance. Traditional markets, digital assets & decentralised tech are converging, and the rules are evolving. Our CEO @navinblockchain is speaking at @money2020 Asia on: Building Trust in the New Financial World asia.money2020.com/program/agenda…

Regulatory clarity is the starting gun. In this clip, Ken Chapman explains why stablecoin adoption could move fast once institutions know the rules and feel confident operating within them. crystalintelligence.com/crypto-regulat…

“It’s being called a loophole. It exists.” In this clip, Ken Chapman explains why banks see the GENIUS Act as unfair, and why innovators disagree. Banks can’t offer yield on stablecoins. Coinbase can. Read the full webinar summary: crystalintelligence.com/crypto-regulat…

Tokenization is accelerating. By 2030, $16T+ in real-world assets could be on-chain. But adoption at scale requires trust and compliance. Crystal Intelligence is now embedded into @zoniqxinc's tokenization infrastructure, bringing real-time blockchain intelligence, cross-chain monitoring, and audit-ready reporting to institutions.
