On May 9, at the Consensus 2026 conference, Trust Wallet CEO Felix Fan and Mesh CTO Arjun Mukherjee stated that AI Agents are driving the reconstruction of crypto wallet architecture, enabling AI to hold assets, conduct on-chain transactions, and establish on-chain identities. Trust Wallet has launched the Agent Kit, allowing AI Agents to autonomously execute transactions, transfers, and other on-chain operations, and is advancing Ethereum proposal EIP-8004 to provide on-chain identity and credit scoring systems for AI Agents. Felix Fan mentioned that the consumer side still adheres to the 'user holds the keys, gradually authorizing' model, with AI acting more as an assistant for on-chain operations; whereas on the developer side, Agents are allowed to execute operations more autonomously. Mesh has introduced Smart Funding technology, which can automatically route funds between different chains, accounts, and tokens to reduce the complexity of using Web3. The CTO of Mesh noted that one of the core issues faced by AI Agents is 'cold start'—without wallets and funds, Agents cannot truly act, and crypto wallets serve as the foundational financial layer for AI. Both executives believe that major AI platforms in the future may launch their own wallets. Felix Fan mentioned that X has publicly advanced X Money, and Grok is likely to also have a built-in wallet, stating, 'AI like Claude may also run directly on-chain in the future.'

On May 9, it was reported that the Iran war is disrupting oil transportation in the Persian Gulf, leading to a record-speed depletion of global oil inventories, which are meant to cushion against supply shocks. The rapid shrinkage of these stocks indicates that the risk of extreme price spikes and supply shortages is increasing. With the Strait of Hormuz nearing closure for two months, governments and industries have fewer options to cope with the impact of over 1 billion barrels of supply loss. The sharp depletion of inventories also means that even after the conflict ends, the market will remain vulnerable to future supply disruptions for a longer period. Morgan Stanley estimates that from March 1 to April 25, global oil inventories decreased by an average of about 4.8 million barrels per day, far exceeding the previous peak of quarterly inventory reductions compiled by the International Energy Agency. Nearly 60% of the decrease was in crude oil, with the remainder in refined products. The key point is that the oil system also needs to establish a minimum inventory level. Natasha Kaneva, head of global commodities research at JPMorgan, stated that this means that before inventories truly hit rock bottom, the portion of safety stock that cannot be moved has already been reached.

On May 9, the chairman of the Iranian Parliament's Energy Committee stated that oil production continues across multiple oil fields in Iran. He described actions against Iranian tankers as "completely illegal," but noted that the pressure on Iranian oil exports has not shown significant effects. He also mentioned that no official reports have been received regarding an oil spill in the waters surrounding Khark Island. Previously, media reports citing satellite images indicated a suspected large-scale crude oil leak near Khark Island, a key hub for Iranian oil exports, with pollution covering several dozen square kilometers of sea surface, raising concerns about energy supply and maritime safety in the Middle East. In the past 24 hours, Trump threatened that if there is "no progress" in the current situation, the U.S. may restart the "Freedom Plan," which would be an "upgraded version." He also stated that a formal response from Iran regarding the U.S. proposal is expected. However, upon returning to the White House, Trump did not respond to questions about whether he had received a reply from Iran.
