The CFTC approved a perpetual Bitcoin futures contract for KalshiEX, and crypto Twitter immediately got it wrong. Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos untangles what actually changed, why the switch from swap to futures classification matters for retail access, and what the ruling leaves wide open on leverage and decentralized exchanges.
Jessi Brooks and Katherine explore the fact that AI agents can now place orders, not just give advice. They revisit their paper “The Agents at the Gate” and make clear why Robinhood’s move to let agents charge your Gold Card raises liability questions that existing consumer protection law was never built to answer.
In the strangest segment, they also dug into a New York lawsuit where an anonymous plaintiff is claiming legal ownership of nearly 40,000 dormant crypto wallets. Jessi explains why the lost-property theory will probably fail — and why even a partial win could force centralized exchanges into an impossible spot.
