Agentic AI is becoming part of the crypto security workforce: Certik

Agentic AI has started taking over work once handled directly by human analysts across cybersecurity, anti money laundering and compliance, with autonomous systems now investigating threats, tracing funds and acting on security incidents with limited human intervention.　　According to a new CertiK Intel3D report, the change goes beyond using artificial intelligence to flag suspicious activity or summarize information for analysts. Agentic systems can reason through multiple steps, call external tools and APIs, collect evidence, take actions in live environments and assess the results before deciding what to do next.　　CertiK describes the emerging model as an AI security workforce, where autonomous systems operate within defined roles while human experts move toward supervision, quality control and accountability.　　Agentic AI is moving from security assistant to operator　　For much of the past decade, AI used in cybersecurity and compliance played a supporting role. Machine learning systems could identify anomalies, while natural language tools helped summarize alerts or prepare reports that were ultimately reviewed and acted upon by people.　　Agentic AI changes how much of that process can happen without direct human involvement.　　In a security operations center, CertiK said an autonomous system could investigate an unusual login, retrieve the device fingerprint and location history, compare the information against

Europeans Could Face Spending Caps Under a Digital Euro, Cardano's Hoskinson Warns

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson told a United Nations audience he does not trust the European Union with a digital euro. He predicted it would enable “asset and transaction discrimination” within a decade.　　On paper, the EUs draft law already rules out programmable spending rules. However, that text is still under negotiation, and Hoskinson argues only a binding law would prove his fears wrong.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　UPDATE: Charles Hoskinson slams the EU, says “why I dont trust you Europeans with your Digital Euro, is we all know what youre gonna do with it—asset and transaction discrimination. Dont believe it？ Well then put it in some sort of law that youre not gonna do it.” pic.twitter.com/Yv8ONo8p7l　　— Angry Crypto Show (@angrycryptoshow) October 4, 2026　　Why Hoskinson Wants Digital Euro Limits Written Into Law　　Hoskinson spoke on October 2 at the Future of Money, Governance & the Law Summit in New York.

Bitcoin gets a 20-day window to see whether energy relief can move the Fed

The G7s emergency diesel plan has created a near-term test of whether cheaper energy can ease pressure on Bitcoin.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $85,547.30 24-hour change: up 0.26% Loading price history… 24H Up 0.26% 7D Up 3.28% 30D Up 7.35%　　Leaders on Oct. 2 agreed to accelerate releases from emergency fuel reserves, including a substantial amount of diesel within 20 days, as governments try to contain shortages and elevated prices that have added to inflation pressures.　　The group said the International Energy Agency would make 100 million barrels available over four months, beginning immediately. It did not specify how much of the initial release would be diesel or how supplies would be divided among countries.　　For crypto markets, the significance lies less in the barrels themselves than in whether they can push refined-fuel prices low enough to shift inflation and interest-rate expectations. Bitcoin remains sensitive to changes in Treasury yields, the dollar and broader liquidity conditions after the Federal Reserve raised rates last month.　　The Sept. 16 increase lifted the Feds target range by 25 basis points to 3.75% to 4%, with policymakers again citing elevated inflation. A sustained decline in energy costs could weaken one source of price pressure, though the G7

Bitcoin Price Grinds at $86K as Resistance Refuses to Give Way

Bitcoin‘s price held between $85,800 to $86,000 per unit on Oct. 5 at 8:45 a.m. Eastern time, with its larger trend still favoring bulls, yet the market was pressing directly into resistance rather than breaking free. Every tracked daily exponential moving average and simple moving average from 10 through 200 periods remained bullish, while momentum and moving average convergence divergence leaned bearish. With $86,949-$87,400 overhead, the charts leave bitcoin’s price strong but facing a decisive test.　　Key TakeawaysBitcoins price held near $85,800 and $86,000 as resistance crowded the upper $86,000s.Daily moving averages posted 13 bullish readings, 1 neutral and 1 bearish signal.Bitcoin bulls face $87,400 next, while losing $85,000 would favor sellers.　　Bitcoins price picture on Oct. 5 presents an intriguing contradiction: Price remains above nearly every important medium- and long-term moving average, yet the market keeps running into trouble as it approaches $87,000.　　At roughly $86,084 on Bitstamp at 8:45 a.m., bulls still command the larger structure after bitcoins recovery from $74,913, but softer momentum readings and repeated resistance between the upper $86,000s and $87,400 suggest this is no clean runaway move, leaving the next break increasingly important for both sides of the tape.　　1H and 4H Charts: $86,000 Becomes the Short-Term Battleground　　On
