MoonPay has launched PayBox, a non-custodial payment wallet and storage service that enables users to make transactions directly within AI chatbot dialogues, such as ChatGPT and Claude. To use PayBox, users connect it to an AI model via a connector on the official website. The service then allows for a range of actions, including booking flights, swapping crypto assets, staking, and online shopping—essentially any payment supporting Coinbase's x402 protocol. Upon a user's request, the chatbot constructs the transaction for user confirmation, a process that can be automated with pre-set limits. Support for Gemini and Grok AI models is expected within a month. MoonPay emphasizes security as a top priority, stating that AI agents never have access to user wallet keys, card details, or funds. Keys are secured using Multi-Party Computation (MPC) combined with Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), preventing MoonPay or the AI from independently signing transactions. The service is built on the infrastructure of Sodot, a company acquired by MoonPay in 2026, which secures over $50 billion in assets. PayBox is designed to address common fraud vectors in agent-based payments, such as key theft, card number leaks, and systemic vulnerabilities, by closing each potential attack path individually.

The MoonPay project team has introduced PayBox, a payment vault and non-custodial wallet. The service allows users to conduct transactions without leaving the chatbot dialog window.

To utilize PayBox's features, a user needs to connect it to an AI model via a special connector on the official website. After that, the user will be able to make transactions using the dialog window.

Available functions include booking airline tickets, swapping crypto assets, staking, online purchases, and much more. PayBox enables payments in all services that support the Coinbase exchange's x402 protocol.

Upon receiving a corresponding request, the chatbot forms a transaction, which the user then confirms. Information on the official website suggests this process can be automated by pre-setting limits.

Currently, only ChatGPT and Claude are supported. Support for Gemini and Grok is expected within a month.

According to Neeraj Prasad, Lead Engineer at MoonPay Labs, PayBox provides users with something they haven't had before. If previously agents could suggest, for example, product options, now that list includes the payment itself.

Security is the Key Priority

The project team emphasized that within the service, the AI never has access to wallet keys, card data, or client funds.

Keys, in particular, are protected using multi-party computation (MPC) combined with trusted execution environments (TEE). Neither MoonPay nor the AI agent can access the code or independently sign a transaction.

The service is based on the infrastructure of Sodot, a company acquired by MoonPay in 2026. It secures over $50 billion in assets and more than 10 million wallets for leading crypto companies.

As explained by MoonPay, fraud in the field of agent payments typically occurs under one of three scenarios: theft of keys, leakage of card numbers, or vulnerabilities in the overall system that allow it to be 'broken' entirely.

PayBox is designed to close each of these attack vectors individually, MoonPay stressed.

Wall Street's Review of the Fed Decision: Walsh Welcomes the Market Replacing 'Rate Hikes'?

The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at its July meeting. In the absence of clear forward guidance, Chair Wash's tacit approval of rising long-term Treasury yields became the focal point. Major institutions like Goldman Sachs, Barclays, and Nomura interpret this as a signal that the Fed is allowing market-driven tightening to substitute for official rate hikes. Despite three dissenting votes favoring a hike, the overall stance was perceived as dovish. Chair Wash downplayed AI-related price pressures, attributed rising real rates to economic strength, and repeatedly suggested that higher market rates could act in place of policy hikes. He emphasized that while the Fed had "done nothing" in the past 42 days, markets had "done a lot." Analysts highlight that Wash welcomed the significant rise in yields, framing it as markets "learning to play the game rather than watch the referee." This shift implies reduced urgency for the Fed to hike as long as long-end rates remain elevated. However, strategies outsourcing tightening to bond markets carry risks, including potential unanchoring of inflation expectations. Nomura warned that persistent dovish signals could undermine the Fed's inflation-fighting credibility, possibly triggering more aggressive responses from hawkish FOMC members later.

E Fund "Quits Drinking"

"Yi Fang Da 'Gives Up Alcohol'" - Summary The article analyzes the recent portfolio adjustments of star fund manager Zhang Kun, focusing on his flagship funds, the Yi Fang Da Blue Chip Select and Yi Fang Da Quality Select. The key trend highlighted is a significant and ongoing reduction in exposure to the consumer sector, particularly liquor (baijiu) stocks like Kweichow Moutai and Wuliangye, which were once core holdings. This shift is driven by several factors: a downturn in the consumer sector's business cycle post-pandemic, with slowing earnings growth for major players; a change in consumer behavior towards value over premium brands; and high channel inventory pressures, especially in the liquor industry. These fundamentals have led to a prolonged phase of valuation contraction for consumer stocks. Concurrently, market capital has rotated aggressively towards the high-growth technology sector, especially AI-related chains, which have dominated fund inflows. This style shift has further diminished the attractiveness of traditional consumer "core assets" for many funds. As a result, Zhang Kun's funds have drastically cut their consumer stock allocations. For example, the Blue Chip Select's baijiu holding proportion has fallen from over 40% to around 20%, and its overall top 10 holdings concentration dropped sharply. This mirrors a broader trend in the active equity fund industry, where allocations to consumer staples have plummeted to multi-year lows while technology holdings have surged. The article concludes that while the consumer sector's valuations are now at historical lows, offering some margin of safety, the fundamental outlook remains challenging due to weak macro consumption recovery and intense internal competition. Therefore, the sector is likely to see only sporadic rebounds rather than a sustained recovery, continuing to weigh on the performance of funds still heavily invested in it. Zhang Kun's timely reduction of Korean semiconductor holdings in his Asia Select fund amid a market crash is also noted as a contrast to his domestic strategy.

Before the Second Attempt at Hong Kong IPO, Topstar 'Hands Out' 548 Million in Related-Party Orders

Tosda, an industrial robotics firm, is making its second attempt at a Hong Kong listing shortly after its first application lapsed. The company has undergone a significant strategic shift, pivoting away from its lower-margin intelligent energy and environmental management system (IEEMS) business to focus on core robotics and machinery. This "revenue-reduction, profit-growth" strategy saw revenue nearly halve from 2022 to 2025, but resulted in a sharp turnaround to profitability, with a 1147% year-on-year increase in Q1 2026 net profit. This restructuring involved spinning off the IEEMS business, leading to a substantial jump in related-party transactions. Following the departure of a former executive, two newly associated companies are expected to handle up to 548 million RMB worth of IEEMS orders in 2026, with Tosda acting as a platform charging a 3% management fee. While profitability has improved, several financial concerns remain. Accounts receivable collection cycles have lengthened, inventory—particularly for robots—has surged significantly despite falling revenue, and the company faces challenges in overseas market expansion. Notably, overseas business currently has a lower gross margin than domestic operations. The company was also recently reprimanded by regulators for accounting inaccuracies related to revenue recognition and bad debt provisions. The success of its strategic pivot and its second listing attempt will depend on managing these financial risks, the transparency of its new business model, and the long-term performance of its core robotics segment.

Is the AI Bull Market in Jeopardy? Philadelphia Semiconductor Index Breaks Below Key Support at 11,200 Points

The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) faces a critical technical and fundamental test. It recently breached a key short-term support level around 11,200 points—a level that held in mid-July—and closed below it. Technical indicators have deteriorated, with the 21-day moving average crossing below the 50-day, signaling bearish momentum. Should the 11,200 support fail, the next major support is the 200-day moving average. The sell-off, which saw memory chip stocks like Micron and Western Digital plunge over 10%, stems from growing concerns about the cyclicality and quality of AI demand. Market participants question the sustainability of the AI capital expenditure boom, highlighted by divergences between the capital expenditures of mega-cap tech firms and semiconductor index performance. However, some positive structural shifts are emerging. Institutional positioning has normalized, unwinding the previously crowded "long semiconductors, short Mag 7" trade, leaving cleaner positioning. Seasonal tailwinds are also approaching, as the NDX historically performs well after this period, potentially supporting a rebound if retail inflows resume. The core question is whether the SOX can hold the 11,200 support. A failure could trigger further declines toward the 200-day moving average, while a successful defense, combined with lighter positioning and seasonal support, could offer a recovery window for the sector.

Silicon Valley Rises Against Anthropic

A backlash against Anthropic is growing in Silicon Valley, driven by concerns over competition with partners and its advocacy for a closed AI ecosystem. Critics point to the release of Claude Design, seen as competing directly with partner Figma, as a key moment that eroded trust. Figma's CEO reportedly stated Anthropic was not fully transparent. Anthropic faces further criticism for data retention policy changes, releasing a powerful model (Fable 5) that restricted answers on AI research, and its warnings about the risks of open-weight AI models. Skeptics, including some researchers and government officials, view these warnings as a tactic to stifle cheaper, customizable open-source competitors and shape favorable regulation, potentially creating an AI duopoly with OpenAI. While Anthropic defends its actions as necessary for safety and preventing misuse, the dissent has intensified. Over 70 companies, including OpenAI and Google, recently signed a letter supporting open models, which Anthropic did not join. The company's moves have prompted some startups and businesses to switch to lower-cost, open-weight alternatives, fearing Anthropic might use their data to build competing products.
