With cross-border payments, on-chain transactions, and the entry of mainstream financial institutions, stablecoins are rapidly moving from a "minority" to the mainstream payment system. The rise of AI Agents, meanwhile, is bringing machine-autonomous consumption into the real world for the first time. In the past, crypto-finance, global payments, and corporate treasury management have long been fragmented: on-chain assets struggled to support real-world consumption scenarios, corporate cross-border cash flows were complex and inefficient, and AI Agents lacked controllable, secure payment capabilities.

As a world-leading stablecoin infrastructure platform, Interlace is enabling stablecoins to truly transition from "on-chain assets" to "everyday payments," allowing digital assets to "move seamlessly" within the traditional financial world and enhancing the efficiency and dimensionality of corporate capital flow. By integrating stablecoin payments, corporate digital banking, corporate asset management, virtual card issuance, and AI payment capabilities into a unified infrastructure, Interlace has built a global capital network connecting traditional finance and crypto-finance.

In 2026, Interlace further expanded AI payment and stablecoin consumption scenarios by launching its Agent Card and Scan to Pay products. In the future, Interlace will continue to focus on Agentic Payment and stablecoin infrastructure, enhancing enterprise-grade financial infrastructure capabilities to effectively respond to the new landscape of global competition.

Interlace is building financial infrastructure better suited for global enterprises and the next generation of internet business models, focusing on corporate treasury management and an integrated financial ecosystem.

Yield Treasury: Flexible Corporate Fund Appreciation & Allocation

As corporate funds become increasingly globalized and on-chain, capital is beginning to take on multiple roles beyond just sitting in accounts or wallets: flow, consumption, and yield management. Interlace, focusing on corporate capital efficiency, launched the Yield Treasury product to help businesses build more flexible treasury management capabilities.

AI & Stablecoins Are Reshaping Global Financial Infrastructure

With the rapid development of AI Agents and stablecoin payments, more and more transactions in the future will occur between AI Agents and services, between on-chain and off-chain, and within global real-time capital networks.

Payment systems are also evolving from traditional bank card networks into new financial infrastructure covering stablecoins, intelligent agents, global settlement, and programmable fund flows.

For AI companies, Web3 teams, and global enterprises, the focus is no longer just on payment itself, but on:

Whether AI Agents can spend safely

Whether stablecoins can enter real commercial scenarios

Whether businesses can unify the management of on-chain and off-chain funds

However, the long-awaited mass adoption in the crypto industry will not necessarily arrive in a more complex form. Instead, it is more likely to gradually integrate into the global commercial network in a more natural, seamless, even invisible way.

From Agent Card and Scan to Pay to global card issuance, stablecoin on/off ramps, and API-ified financial capabilities, Interlace is connecting bank accounts, payment systems, and on-chain capital networks, building the infrastructure layer behind this new financial system.

From Farm to Entrepreneur: After Building Flying Cars, He Bet on the Robot Sector and Created a $39 Billion Giant

From Farm to Tech Tycoon: Brett Adcock's Journey to a $39B Robot Giant Brett Adcock, a serial entrepreneur from an Illinois farm, has built his third major venture, humanoid robotics company Figure AI, into a $39 billion behemoth backed by NVIDIA, Intel, and others. His path began with the sale of his recruiting platform Vettery for $110 million in 2018. He then co-founded and took electric air taxi company Archer Aviation public in 2021 before departing over strategic differences. Adcock founded Figure AI in 2022 with a 30-year vision to create general-purpose humanoid robots that can work in human-designed environments, aiming to address labor shortages in manufacturing, logistics, and retail. The company gained attention through live-streamed robot sorting challenges and a viral demo, though it faces skepticism over its high valuation versus early commercial progress. A key moment was Figure's split from OpenAI in 2024 after a brief collaboration, with Adcock claiming OpenAI provided limited value and deciding to develop AI models internally—a move OpenAI contested. Adcock's pattern is tackling capital-intensive, long-term tech frontiers, moving from software to aviation to robotics, betting on AI and automation as the future of labor.

Data: 75% of Traders on Hyperliquid Are Losing Money. What Are the Profitable Ones Using?

On Hyperliquid, approximately 75% of addresses are losing money, indicating that manual traders are increasingly competing against automated systems. Profitable traders primarily employ one of three approaches: 1) Running systematic, high-frequency strategies (e.g., one address executed 261k trades with a 64.75% win rate), 2) Placing high-conviction, asymmetric bets with large positions (e.g., 50 trades yielding $4.48M at a 28% win rate), or 3) Using algorithms for execution while making manual macro judgments. The article argues that traditional methods like chart patterns or reacting to social media news are often already priced in by bots, making such traders the "exit liquidity" for systematic players. Success now depends on unique narrative timing, structural insights, or conviction during market capitulation.

Five Core Forms of AI Agent in YC's Eyes

The article outlines five core architectural patterns for effective AI Agents, emerging from tools like Codex and Claude, that move beyond simple prompts towards reusable, process-based capabilities. 1. **Skills**: Reusable, parameterized workflows that function like method calls, allowing a single process (e.g., "/investigate") to handle various tasks based on input parameters. 2. **Thin Harness**: A lightweight execution framework (~200 lines) that manages the AI model's "hands and feet"—handling loops, file I/O, and context—without becoming bloated. 3. **Resolvers**: Routing tables that map tasks to specific Skills, preventing "context corruption" when managing dozens of Skills and ensuring outputs go to the correct locations. 4. **Latent vs. Deterministic Layer**: A critical separation where LLMs handle judgment, synthesis, and pattern recognition, while deterministic code handles tasks requiring precision, consistency, and low cost (like calculations). 5. **Memory**: A persistent, accumulating knowledge base (e.g., a markdown folder) with a "current trusted conclusion" section and an append-only timeline, enabling the system to learn and retain context over time. Together, these patterns create a "process power"—a durable competitive advantage. Unlike one-off prompt-based applications whose value quickly commoditizes, a well-designed AI Agent system encodes experience into reusable, parameterized workflows, offloads stable rules to code, and continuously learns through memory. This creates a structured, hard-to-replicate capability that can provide sustained value for individuals or businesses, such as an accountant automating client reviews while preserving privacy and accumulating expertise.

Tiger Research: On-Chain Risk Operators, The Market Cap Gap Between 147 Trillion and 70 Billion

This report by Tiger Research examines the evolution of risk management in decentralized finance (DeFi) lending. It highlights a power shift from protocol developers to specialized professional risk operators who manage on-chain capital. The era of protocols and community governance solely dictating DeFi lending is ending. A new professional asset management layer has emerged. While the sector is nascent, capital and distribution channels are rapidly consolidating around top risk operator teams, whose past performance is now a key criterion for institutional entry. The industry's development, accelerated by modular infrastructures like Morpho, has led to a clear division of labor mirroring traditional finance: distribution channels (e.g., exchanges), strategy/risk management (the risk operators), and product infrastructure/asset custody (smart contract protocols). This structure lowers the entry barrier for traditional institutions. Currently, the total value managed by risk operators is approximately $70 billion, dominated by a few leading teams like Steakhouse (RWA focus), Sentora (AI models), and Gauntlet (crisis management). Competition now centers on collateral standards, distribution access, and crisis response capabilities. The report outlines three primary entry paths for institutions: 1) **Distribution Model**: Leveraging external risk operators as backend service providers (common for exchanges). 2) **Asset Supply Model**: Onboarding real-world assets to DeFi as collateral. 3) **Independent Operator Model**: Building an in-house team to become a risk operator (e.g., Bitwise). The core opportunity lies in the strategy/risk management layer, where traditional financial institutions can leverage their existing expertise in due diligence and risk assessment without deep technical development. A vast opportunity gap exists: the global traditional asset management industry manages ~$147 trillion, while the entire DeFi sector is only ~$800 billion, with the risk operator niche at ~$70 billion. This disparity signifies immense growth potential. Once robust risk frameworks and clearer regulations are established, even a minor allocation from traditional markets could trigger exponential DeFi growth. Early movers who help build these foundational systems will gain significant rule-setting influence and first-mover advantages.
