According to official news, BNB Agent Studio now supports AI Agents to access CoinMarketCap (CMC) market data with a single click through Binance Pay's B402 merchant pool, with the Agent's own wallet automatically handling the data retrieval and payment. Previously, building AI Agents that relied on real-time market data typically required configuring API keys, subscription plans, and independent payment processes. With this integration, developers no longer need to create CMC accounts, manage API keys, or write additional payment code; the Agent can complete the entire process of "requesting data—automatic payment—processing output." Currently, four types of CMC data interfaces are initially available: DEX Search: query decentralized exchange tokens and trading pairs; Quotes Latest: obtain real-time prices and market data for specified tokens; Listings Latest: obtain overall market token ranking data; and DEX Pairs Quotes: obtain real-time market data for specified DEX trading pairs. BNB Chain states that all data requests are processed via B402 based on the x402 protocol and settled instantly on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC). This feature will help developers quickly build AI Agents with market awareness capabilities, such as daily market analysis agents, token ranking change alert agents, investment watchlist agents, and narrative analysis agents that combine large language models for market interpretation.

Amazon is returning to the US bond market to raise funds for its artificial intelligence infrastructure, according to sources familiar with the matter. The company will issue eight benchmark bonds with maturities ranging from 3 to 40 years, with the longest-term bond (maturity in 2066) having an initial price guidance approximately 1.45 percentage points higher than US Treasury bonds. The dollar bond issuance is expected to raise at least $25 billion, with Barclays, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Morgan Stanley managing the offering. The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, potentially including debt repayment, acquisitions, and capital expenditures. This is the latest example of a large-scale bond issuance by a major cloud computing company investing hundreds of billions of dollars in AI infrastructure. Investors have been very active in the offering so far, with subscriptions repeatedly exceeding the offering size by several times.
