Ampersend2026-09-04 06:43:18Ampersend outlines a safer way to manage funds across multiple AI agentsUnchained Premium featured a conversation with Rodrigo Coelho, CEO of Edge & Node and a founding member of Ampersend, about the project’s effort to make it safer to hand money over to AI agents. The discussion focused on a core problem in agent-based systems: how to reduce costly mistakes when models hallucinate or when prompts are manipulated through injection attacks. Coelho also explained why Ampersend chose to launch on Base and described the project’s work with enterprise names including BNY Mellon. The interview did not present agentic commerce as an immediate breakthrough. Coelho said the boom imagined by many backers remains far off, putting the emphasis on infrastructure rather than hype. The episode framed Ampersend as one attempt to build the controls needed before broader adoption can happen. The Unchained Premium page also listed subscriber benefits, including a 14-day free trial that renews at $7 per month, full transcripts of episodes, a members-only Telegram community, and the option to submit questions for guests on the main show.910

BSTBL will introduce Ethereum-based tokenized shares tied to an existing money market fund, with transfers allowed between approved wallets subject to regulatory requirements. BNY Mellon will serve as transfer agent and tokenization services provider for BSTBL. BRSRV is aimed at digitally native institutional investors, supports daily dividend reinvestment and multi-blockchain access, and is designed for digital asset use cases including stablecoin reserve management. Securitize will act as transfer agent and tokenization provider for that fund. Both products invest in cash, short-term U.S. Treasuries, and overnight repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasuries.1780

BNY Mellon2026-07-29 12:21:51BNY Mellon moves core transfer agency records onto blockchain, CoinDesk reportsBNY Mellon is moving its core transfer agency records to blockchain infrastructure in an effort to build a single on-chain ownership ledger and cut reliance on intermediaries, according to CoinDesk. The initial rollout will support clients including Baillie Gifford, BlackRock and Dreyfus, the asset management arm under BNY. The scope includes what the report described as the first fully native, UK-regulated tokenized fund, along with other tokenized products in development. CoinDesk also said BNY and other large banks are building blockchain-based infrastructure and tokenized deposit networks. Even so, the bank expects legacy systems to remain in place for years because cybersecurity concerns and smart contract risks have not gone away. The move shows how major financial institutions are introducing blockchain into recordkeeping and fund infrastructure while still keeping conventional systems alongside newer rails.1910
