Meanwhile, AI agents are increasingly being used for crypto payments, but research highlights security risks in the infrastructure supporting these transactions. In other news, CoW Swap suffered a DNS hijacking incident, and the XRP Ledger has integrated zero-knowledge proofs to enable private transactions on the public blockchain.
