$SOL Will AI Agents Pay for News and Media Content Soon?

Will AI agents pay for news? BeInCrypto CEO Alena Afanaseva put that question to the media industry as publishers watch search traffic shrink.
Google Search referrals to more than 2,500 news sites fell 33% between November 2024 and November 2025, according to Chartbeat data cited by the Reuters Institute. ChatGPT referrals are growing, but Google still sends about 500 times as many readers.
BeInCrypto Research unit’s State of AI Agent Payments 2026 report shows the payment rails already work, but at very small values.
A New Kind of Paying Reader
BeInCrypto recently interviewed Yana Prikhodchenko, who ran Cointelegraph for almost five years before becoming co-founder and CEO of a company building infrastructure for AI agents.
Prikhodchenko argues that agents could buy individual articles through the x402 payment standard, paying in stablecoins without a subscription. Short updates would cost less than exclusive reporting or original analysis.
“The main goal is not just to rank high, but to become the source for AI agents,” she told BeInCrypto.
Millions of Payments, Little Money
Between July 23 and August 26, the team tracked 6.4 million x402 payments on Solana and Base. Together, they moved $119,947.
Some 90.8% of transfers were below one cent, carrying only 10.7% of the value.
$BTC ETFs Lose $1.44B in 5 Days as Selling Deepens $BTC ETFs lost $299.90 million on Wednesday, extending their five-session outflow total to $1.44 billion. Ether funds shed another $144.81 million, while selling spread across every major crypto ETF category.Bitcoin Selling Remains Concentrated in IBIT The institutional retreat from crypto deepened Wednesday, even as a growing shift toward in-kind exchange-traded fund (ETF) transactions complicated the usual reading of fund demand.
Bitcoin and ether ETFs recorded $444.71 million in combined outflows. Including Zcash, SOL, HYPE and NEAR, withdrawals across the market approached $469 million for the session. The breadth was striking, with no major category finishing in positive territory.
Bitcoin ETFs posted a fifth consecutive day of outflows, with Blackrock’s IBIT accounting for $269.73 million of the $299.90 million total. Grayscale’s GBTC lost another $39.13 million. Morgan Stanley’s MSBT provided the only offset, attracting $8.96 million.The concentration in IBIT matters. Blackrock’s fund has often supplied the strongest buying during bitcoin ETF recoveries, making sustained redemptions there a potential headwind for bitcoin’s price.
The inflow into MSBT offers a smaller counterpoint. Wealth-management allocations may be proving more durable than tactical positions held through the largest institutional vehicles

$BTC Mining’s Lottery Offers Better Odds Than Powerball The mathematics paint a fascinating picture, as mining behemoths such as Foundry and Antpool capture the overwhelming majority of blocks, yet independent miners still hold a ticket in every 10-minute lottery—with 161 TH/s of computing power translating into approximately a 1-in-126 chance of discovering a block over 12 months. For perspective, the odds of claiming the Mega Millions jackpot stand at 1 in 290,472,336, while Powerball presents an even steeper challenge at approximately 1 in 292.2 million.How Did a Miner With Just 161 TH/s Beat the Odds? Solo bitcoin miners have been making a mockery of the odds this year, turning what many consider a computational lottery into a series of improbable victories, with a fresh drawing roughly every 10 minutes, or approximately 52,560 chances annually.
On Nov. 11, 2026, the operator of CKPool Solo announced that another fortunate miner, wielding a modest 161 terahash per second (TH/s) of computing power, had beaten the odds and claimed the jackpot.

On Wednesday, another lone bitcoin miner defied the astronomical odds and struck digital gold, successfully uncovering block 975427 on the Bitcoin blockchain. The extraordinary win marked the 38th block conquered by a solo miner in 2026, with the lucky participant mining through CKPool Solo, whose operator confirmed the discovery represented the pool’s 321st block since its inception.$BTC $ETH #HotCPIDecemberHikePriced #AnthropicRejectsIPODelayValuationinQuestion #bitcoin.” #ETH(二饼)

Ex-employee sues Ethereum Foundation and Vitalik Buterin over firing
#Ethereum $ETH $Ex-employee sues Ethereum Foundation and Vitalik Buterin over firing Kayleen Fulton alleges she was fired less than two weeks after disclosing a cancer diagnosis and helping organize a staff letter challenging a requirement to endorse the foundation’s new mandate. A former Ethereum Foundation employee has sued the organization, along with Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and four others. Kayleen Fulton alleges she was fired after disclosing a cancer diagnosis and organizing a staff letter challenging a directive tied to the foundation’s new mandate. Advertisement Join KuCoin’s PROOF: Go The Distance and share an 800,000+ USDT prize pool + exclusive Tadej Pogačar cycling merch. Fulton, who led the foundation’s protocol support team and is known in the Ethereum community as “Nixo,” filed the complaint on Nov. 4 in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. She alleges that Bastian Aue, a co-executive director at the time, fired her on April 6, 13 days after she disclosed her diagnosis. The complaint also alleges Buterin helped adopt and enforce the directive as a board member. Fulton said she and colleague Trent Van Epps organized a letter in response to the mandate with 53 signers. It backed the mandate’s goals while objecting to a requirement that employees affirm it to keep their jobs. The complaint alleges that days later, on April 6, Aue fired Fulton and Van Epps 30 minutes apart. Fulton alleges disability discrimination, retaliation and interference with her medical leave rights and is seeking lost pay and damages. The complaint also says some employees objected to a reference to ritual suicide in the mandate and quotes Aue as telling staff that the language was figurative. In a May 14 letter quoted in the complaint, a lawyer for the foundation’s Singapore affiliate, Ethereum Asia Pacific Limited, denied that Fulton had been subjected to unlawful conduct or retaliation and said her separation agreement was binding. Cointelegraph reached out to the foundation, Fulton and Van Epps for comment, but had not received a response by publication. The foundation published its mandate in March, charting out its role in Ethereum’s ongoing and future development. It highlighted censorship resistance, open-source code, privacy and security, and said it would focus on protocol upgrades, research and developer tools.
