AI cannot bear liability for losing trades, responsibility follows delegation: Brickken CEO

AI agents have started executing trades and moving funds without constant human approval, prompting Brickken CEO Edwin Mata to argue that liability must follow the authority granted to the software rather than attach to the AI itself.

Sandmark reported on Aug. 6 that existing laws provide no single answer for losses caused by autonomous financial agents, leaving courts to examine the user, developer, platform, and institution involved in each transaction.

The report said contract law, negligence rules, product liability, and fiduciary duties could all apply, depending on who controlled the agent and what caused the loss. A user may bear the result of an authorized trade, while a developer or platform could face claims if faulty design, weak safeguards, or corrupted information pushed the agent outside its intended role.

Commenting on the issue, Edwin Mata, a lawyer and the CEO and co-founder of tokenization platform Brickken, told crypto.news that responsibility should never be assigned directly to the software.

“Under current law, AI is not a legal person capable of assuming duties or bearing liability. It is a technical system acting on behalf of a natural or legal person.”

According to Mata, an investigation should instead establish who authorized the agent, whose interests it represented, and what powers it received. Such an inquiry would help distinguish a losing decision made within an approved strategy from a transaction that broke the agent’s limits.

AI agent liability follows the granted authority
Mata compared the legal relationship to a power of attorney, under which one party receives permission to act for another within a defined scope.

Ripple confirmed an expanded conference program for its Swell 2026 in New York, with more than 1,500 attendees, over 75 speakers, and 50-plus sessions expected across three stages from Oct. 27-29.

Featured participants also include Water.org co-founder Matt Damon, Bullish Chairman and CEO Tom Farley, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, and Ripple President Monica Long.

Other confirmed speakers represent Tradeweb, PwC, State Street, Amazon Web Services, Canary Capital, the $XRP Ledger Foundation, and several universities. Former Reserve Bank of India Gov.

CLARITY Act Odds Crash to 10% Before Senate Returns: GalaxyWhy Galaxy Sees a One-in-Ten Chance for the Crypto Bill

Odds that the CLARITY Act passes this year have fallen to 10%, according to Galaxy Digital (Nasdaq: GLXY). Alex Thorn, head of firmwide research at the digital-asset firm, stated the revised figure in an Aug. 14 post on X, down from 75% in May. The bill would divide U.S. crypto oversight between two federal regulators.

Senators return to Washington on Sept. 14 and face a working period of roughly three weeks before leaving for midterm election activity around Oct. 2.

XRP Active Addresses Hit 2-Month High as Sentiment Turns Bearish$XRP Activity Rises as Sentiment Turns Sharply Negative

$XRP Ledger activity jumped to a two-month high on Aug. 14 as analytics firm Santiment recorded 49,929 active addresses in one 24-hour period, even while $XRP commentary reached a three-month bearish extreme. The increase came while $XRP traded below $1, creating a sharp divergence between network participation and retail sentiment.

Santiment stated:

“$XRP negativity surged throughout this week as prices have failed to rally (so far). Crowd commentary is now at a 3-month bearish extreme across X, Reddit, Telegram, and other crypto channels.”

The latest spike extends an increase already visible earlier in August, when daily active addresses averaged about 35,700 through Aug. 12, compared with roughly 26,400 during July. Active $XRP addresses rose nearly 35% while new addresses averaged about 2,260 per day, almost unchanged from July’s 2,270, indicating greater use among existing addresses rather than clear evidence of rapid user growth.

Santiment shared:

“The $XRP Ledger, on the other hand, is not so quiet. $XRP just saw 49,929 active addresses in a single 24 hour span, its highest activity level in over 2 months, after earlier July activity had dropped near 2026 lows.”

Ether.fi went live this week with the biggest upgrade yet to its non-custodial “neobank” app, adding tokenized stock and metals trading, a dedicated Aave lending market for portfolio-backed borrowing, and programmatic buybacks of its ETHFI governance token, as the protocol pushes to become a full alternative to traditional banking rather than a purely DeFi-focused product.

What’s New in the “Summer” Release

The centerpiece of the update is a new integration with xStocks that lets eligible users trade tokenized equities and metals alongside their crypto holdings, all held in self-custodial vaults with social recovery features rather than on a centralized exchange. Tokenized stock trading will not be available in the United States or certain other markets at launch, reflecting the regulatory patchwork still surrounding tokenized securities.

On the lending side, ether.fi deployed a dedicated Aave V4 instance on Optimism, giving users a way to borrow against their entire portfolio at rates currently around 4% and spend the proceeds directly through the ether.fi Cash card. The company says the new credit backend already carries $22 million in active borrowing, with a stated target of $500 million in lending capacity by 2027. Card users get 3% cash back on purchases, along with new fiat on- and off-ramps covering more than 30 currencies and payment methods, including Apple Pay and Cash App.

Why It Matters

Ether.fi’s Cash card business already serves roughly 70,000 cardholders, giving the protocol a meaningful existing user base to migrate onto the expanded platform rather than starting a banking-style product from zero. Bundling trading, borrowing, and spending into one non-custodial app is also a bet that crypto-native infrastructure can compete directly with traditional neobanks on convenience, not just on yield.

The release adds a new revenue-l
