The Australian financial services industry watchdog, AUSTRAC, has claimed that some crypto ATM providers “may not have the right anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism (AML/CTF) checks in place.” The watchdog’s CEO, Brendan Thomas, said a task force set up to assess the risks associated with crypto ATMs has identified “worrying trends and indicators of suspicious activity,” including fraudulent transactions. In a March 31 statement, AUSTRAC implied that the growing number of ATMs—from 23 in 2019 to 1,600 in 2025—warrants increased scrutiny. According to the statement, most of the new ATMs are being installed by digital asset exchanges. The vast majority of the transactions involve cash deposits to buy bitcoin ( BTC). AUSTRAC’s revelation that crypto ATM providers do not have adequate AML and CTF measures came weeks after Thomas announced that crypto entities would be obliged to furnish it with financial transaction information. As reported by Bitcoin.com News, this requirement applied to crypto ATM providers as well. Explaining AUSTRAC’s decision to heighten its focus on ATM operators, Thomas, who previously vowed to go after entities not meeting their obligations, said: “We want to ensure crypto ATM providers have robust practices to minimize the risk that their machines can be used to launder dirty money or to scam and defraud innocent people. We will continue to work with industry to raise standards, but we will also take action against operators who don’t comply.” As previously reported by Bitcoin. com News, AUSTRAC has developed materials to help cryptocurrency exchanges identify financial crime risks. To users, the watchdog urged them to report suspected fraudulent activity or scams involving crypto ATMs to the anti-scam. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Ghana is introducing a blockchain-based gold tracking system to restructure its gold sector and combat illegal exports, says Sammy Gyamfi, acting Managing Director of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC). The initiative, tied to the Gold Board Bill under parliamentary review, aims to register all licensed miners in a national database, assign unique digital codes to production batches, and record transactions on a blockchain. The proposed Gold Board would oversee gold purchases from small-scale miners, regulate pricing, and tackle smuggling. This move could help Ghana recover an estimated $2 billion lost annually to illegal trade while boosting revenue, stabilizing the cedi, and ensuring fair pricing for miners. An anti-smuggling task force is also planned to enforce compliance. Pilot projects have shown encouraging results, and if approved, this system would mark one of Ghana’s first large-scale uses of blockchain in its mineral sector. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

On the eve of what U.S. President Donald Trump has called “liberation day,” the price of gold reached a new milestone of $3,117 per ounce. This came just days after the precious metal surpassed the $3,100 mark, fueling optimism among gold proponents. Gold’s attractiveness amid trade war fears, which have weighed on traditional assets and even bitcoin ( BTC), has prompted Goldman Sachs to revise its year-end price prediction upward. As reported by Reuters, the investment bank raised its forecast range to $3,250-$3,520 from $3,100-$3,300. Goldman Sachs attributes the change to aggressive gold purchases by Asian central banks, a trend it expects to continue for the next three to six years. It also cites stronger-than-expected gold exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows as another reason for the upward revision. The apparent change in investors’ stance on gold contrasts with their perception of BTC, particularly after Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20. While gold’s latest milestone brings its year-to-date gain to 22%, BTC’s slide from its Trump inauguration day peak of nearly $109,000 to just under $83,000 on March 31 means it ended the first quarter of 2025 approximately 23% in the red. This Q1 performance by digital assets, seen by some as a safe-haven asset, has emboldened critics who reject the notion that BTC is digital gold. The fact that BTC has seemingly wavered each time Trump has threatened or imposed tariffs on the U.S.’s main trade partners lends credence to their argument. However, despite this seeming correlation with traditional assets, bitcoin proponents insist the crypto asset’s first-quarter performance does not undermine its digital gold status. This sentiment is shared by experts interviewed by Bitcoin.com News, including Rena Shah, COO of Trust Machines. According to Shah, while gold might have retained its safe-haven status, Bitcoin is the “only asset you’ll never sell.” The COO also pointed to how BTC continues to outperform other assets since the launch of bitcoin ETFs. “Bitcoin is punching above its weight, as a younger asset class compared to legacy ETFs, like gold. Whether you hold bitcoin as a hedge against market uncertainty or are waiting for the right reentry point, Bitcoin is evolving to offer so much more than gold can,” Shah said. Ben Caselin, CMO at African cryptocurrency exchange VALR, said the prospect of countries and central banks adding BTC to their treasuries signals the start of a country-level game theory. Caselin also cites countries stocking up on gold as indicating better times ahead for BTC. “We cannot rule out that these movements are due to game theory around Bitcoin, with the rally in gold acting as a precursor for an explosion in bitcoin acquisition,” Caselin said. Mithil Thakore, CEO of Velar, told Bitcoin.com News that he disagrees with the notion that Bitcoin has lost its digital gold status. Instead, he argued that BTC has become “more important than ever, both in terms of perception and practical adoption.” To support this viewpoint, Thakore pointed to the adoption of BTC by institutions and its proven staying power. Regarding what the rising interest in gold means for BTC, the Velar CEO said: “Renewed interest in gold actually supports Bitcoin’s value proposition. Both assets are responding to macroeconomic instability, inflation concerns, and growing distrust in fiat systems.” Luke Xie, co-founder and CEO of Satlayer, suggested that gold’s rally could be temporary, fueled by “short-term safe-haven inflows amid global uncertainty.” This contrasts with BTC, whose value proposition is “anchored in its finite supply, decentralized network, and ever-growing adoption.” Xie also highlighted how bitcoin’s gold status is boosted by technological advancements, something that cannot be said of gold. “In essence, rather than losing its ‘digital gold’ status, Bitcoin is evolving—bolstered by technological advancements and strategic initiatives like BTCfi—that underscore its complementary and superior role in modern portfolio construction,” the Satlayer CEO said. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

I have navigated through multiple market cycles in the digital asset space—most were driven by narratives and authentic technological advancements. Only a few changed the game entirely. In the last six months, it has become clear to me that the intersection of AI Agents and Web3 has the potential to encompass both elements, but only if the sector can move past early speculation and build for long-term value for end users. We’ve seen this story before. In 2017, the ICO boom outpaced any meaningful product development. In 2021, NFTs exploded into the mainstream before many platforms had even built the underlying infrastructure for creators and collectors. In 2017, the ICO boom outpaced any meaningful product development. In both cases, the correction was as swift as the rise. And in both cases, the correction was as swift as the rise. The recent explosion of AI Agent tokens followed a similar arc. Dozens of projects launched under the banner of “Crypto + AI”, attracting large inflows of capital and attention. Some achieved billion-dollar valuations within weeks. But as with past cycles, speculative capital alone does not create sustainable ecosystems. As investor enthusiasm cooled, so did user engagement—and most early token economies have struggled to retain relevance. Yet amid that volatility, something changed. In Q4 2024, Deepseek introduced a technical breakthrough that caught the attention of our team at HTX Ventures: a large-scale model trained entirely through reinforcement learning, with no reliance on human-labeled data. In practical terms, this dramatically reduces the cost of developing autonomous, intelligent agents. For the first time, it became feasible to deploy AI agents across Web3 with scalability and adaptability without the prohibitive infrastructure typically associated with AI development. This shift matters. If crypto is to fulfill its promise as a decentralized, permissionless, and programmable financial layer, then agents capable of autonomous decision-making will become essential infrastructure. And yet, we are still some way from that vision. What concerns me is that we are once again at risk of mistaking momentum for maturity. A handful of promising frameworks—like Eliza—are beginning to offer composable agent tooling across Ethereum, Solana, and TON. Launchpads such as Virtual and Clanker have helped accelerate token distribution. Application-level products like GRIFFAIN and NEUR are experimenting with AI-driven asset management and governance tools. But these remain early signals, not proven systems. Too many AI Agent projects are still designed for speculation, not sustainability. And if that continues, we will face another cycle of capital flight, unmet expectations, and delayed progress. That would be a missed opportunity. Because the use cases are real. Defi strategies that are too complex for most users could be simplified through autonomous portfolio managers. Governance systems could be enhanced by agents that parse proposals, evaluate precedent, and vote based on user-defined values. And cross-chain automation could become seamless through agents acting on user intent. In each of these cases, the need is not hypothetical—it is already here. What’s missing is consistent execution, user retention, and functional token economics. So where do we go from here? First, we must hold AI Agent projects to the same level of scrutiny we apply to DeFi and infrastructure protocols. That starts with moving beyond vague narratives to rigorous project frameworks—asking difficult but essential questions such as: Protocols must demonstrate not only technical potential, but also real-world usage, sustainable revenue models, and measurable impact. This is the difference between a proof of concept and a protocol worth building on. Second, on top of applications, the industry needs to provide a solid infrastructure that enables the success of AI Agents on-chain, this includes Agent frameworks, data layers, computational infrastructures and more. HTX Ventures will keep a close eye on these fundamental developments because some parts from this space will become as important as EVM compatibility became for L1s in 2020. And finally, we need to foster a culture that prioritizes iteration and transparency. Not every project will get it right on the first attempt. But those that do will likely define the next frontier of Web3. The convergence of AI and crypto is not a novelty. It is a necessary evolution. But if we are to seize this moment, the industry must focus less on capturing attention and more on delivering value. This isn’t just a thesis for HTX Ventures. It’s a conviction grounded in past lessons and future potential. We have the tools. We have the builders. What we need now is discipline. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。
