According to BlockBeats, on June 30, OKX officially launched the beta version of its AI platform, OKX AI, which supports autonomous AI Agents to collaborate and accept orders, and complete settlements in USDT or USDG stablecoins.

OKX AI comprises two main modules: Agent Marketplace, which allows developers to publish AI Agents, set services and pricing, and automatically earn revenue upon task completion; and Task Marketplace, which enables AI Agents to publish tasks, find other Agents for collaboration, and only pay fees upon task completion. The platform employs either escrow settlement or pay-as-you-go payment models depending on the task type.

OKX states that the platform's core feature is establishing a unified identity system for each AI Agent, enabling it to continuously accumulate reputation across different tasks and payment methods without having to build credit records on multiple platforms separately.

It is understood that AltLayer, Amazon Web Services (AWS), CertiK, DAPPOS, Ethereum Foundation, Opentensor Foundation, Solana Foundation, and StraitsX are among the organizations that have participated in supporting the release of OKX AI.

According to BlockBeats, on June 30, investment bank Jefferies stated in its latest report that the U.S. "CLARITY Act" still faces significant legislative obstacles in the Senate, and the progress of related legislation in the coming weeks may exacerbate volatility in the crypto market.

Jefferies points out that although the bill had previously passed the Senate Banking Committee by a bipartisan vote of 15 to 9, with only about 20 legislative days left before the August congressional recess, the Senate still needs to complete bill integration, procedural voting, reconciliation with the House version, and submission to the president for signature, making time extremely tight. Polymarket data shows that the probability of the bill passing before the end of 2026 has dropped from 70% in mid-May to 48%.

Jefferies believes that if the bill passes smoothly, it will establish a clear regulatory framework for digital assets, prompting banks, asset management institutions, and exchanges to accelerate their deployment of tokenized assets, custody, staking, and lending businesses, and promoting more IPOs of crypto ETFs and crypto infrastructure companies. If the legislation is delayed, it may prolong regulatory uncertainty, causing traditional financial institutions to slow down their blockchain business development.

The report anticipates that the progress of the legislation will continue to impact the market performance of crypto-related stocks, including Circle (CRCL), Coinbase (COIN), and Bullish (BLSH), as well as some crypto assets. Jefferies also points out that, in the long run, compared to regulatory changes, the bigger challenge facing stablecoin issuer Circle remains competition from banks, fintech companies, and payment companies.
