On March 26th, Vibhu Norby, Chief Product Officer at the Solana Foundation, stated at the Digital Asset Summit (DAS) in New York that the Solana network has processed 15 million on-chain payments from AI agents, primarily for machine-to-machine commercial interactions. Stablecoins are emerging as the default settlement tool for AI agents paying for computing power and services. Norby pointed out that the programmable nature of AI agent payments gives them a unique advantage in crypto payment scenarios and believes this trend will fundamentally alter the monetization model of the internet, enabling micro-payments as low as fractions of a cent, billed by usage, which traditional payment rails cannot achieve. When AI agents choose cryptocurrency payment methods, Solana often ranks highly. It is projected that 95% to 99% of future crypto transactions will be initiated by large language models, and the primary way users interact with crypto networks will shift to being through AI agents.

According to 1M AI News monitoring, Meta confirmed on Wednesday that it is laying off approximately 700 employees across various departments including Reality Labs, Facebook, recruiting, sales, and global operations. Some employees will be offered internal transfer opportunities. In January of this year, Meta had already eliminated over 1,000 positions in Reality Labs (approximately 10% of the department). These two rounds of layoffs, heavily impacting the metaverse team, indicate that Meta is systematically shifting resources from the metaverse to AI. A Meta spokesperson stated that teams "regularly undergo restructuring or adjustments to ensure they are in the best position to achieve their goals." The layoff news stands in stark contrast to the massive executive stock option incentive plan disclosed the previous day. As of the end of 2025, Meta has approximately 79,000 employees, with capital expenditures for 2026 guided between $115 billion and $135 billion, the vast majority of which will be allocated to AI infrastructure.

On March 26th, BitMine, the largest Ethereum treasury, announced the launch of MAVAN, an institutional-grade Ethereum staking platform. MAVAN will operate validator infrastructure for both BitMine's own holdings and external clients.

On March 26, as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) prepares to launch an innovation exemption program for tokenized assets, the U.S. House Financial Services Committee held a hearing on "Tokenization and the Future of Securities: Modernizing Capital Markets" on March 25. Republican Representative Andy Barr stated that the tokenization of securities is an inevitable trend, and the U.S. needs to lead this process while protecting investors. Some Democratic members expressed concerns that the innovation exemption might weaken core securities regulations. SEC Chair Paul Atkins stated that the agency will soon seek public comment on a series of issues related to future rulemaking, including a proposed innovation exemption that could serve as a regulatory sandbox for on-chain assets. Additionally, according to crypto reporter Eleanor Terrett, Paul Atkins indicated that the long-awaited tokenization innovation exemption could be released in the coming weeks.
