Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts?

The post Dogecoin, HBAR Rank High On Watchlists But One Crypto Is Stealing The Show appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto traders searching for the best crypto to buy now are keeping a close eye on Dogecoin (DOGE) and Hedera (HBAR), two altcoins that remain top picks for September. DOGE continues to benefit from its loyal community and brand recognition, while HBAR’s enterprise partnerships keep it relevant as a layer-1 solution. But despite these strong contenders, analysts say one project is stealing the show — Layer Brett ($LBRETT), a fast-growing Ethereum Layer 2 that has taken the market by storm. Why Dogecoin and HBAR are still relevant Dogecoin remains a fan favorite, with its meme status and history of viral rallies making it a top speculative asset. Analysts believe DOGE could see another strong run in the next bull market, especially if Elon Musk tweets about it or if a DOGE payment integration is announced. In 2021, DOGE’s price rallied thousands of percent, proving that viral moments can still drive massive upside when the community is fully engaged. HBAR, meanwhile, is considered one of the most technically advanced layer 1 blockchains, its hashgraph consensus and enterprise partnerships gave it a unique edge. Projects in sectors like supply chain, tokenized assets, and enterprise data security continue to choose HBAR, which helps support steady price appreciation. Price predictions for HBAR suggest consistent growth into 2026 as adoption expands. Layer Brett: The real market disruptor While DOGE and HBAR are strong players, Layer Brett is where traders are seeing the most explosive potential. Built on Ethereum Layer 2, $LBRETT offers lightning-fast transactions, near-zero fees, and security backed by Ethereum. Its rapidly growing social presence, with thousands of new community members joining weekly, is driving massive buzz. Analysts say this mix of speed, low cost, and meme energy is creating a narrative that could dominate the next bull run. Key reasons analysts are calling…

Following the MCP and A2A protocols, the AI Agent market has seen another blockbuster arrival: the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), developed by Google. This will clearly further enhance AI Agents' autonomous multi-tasking capabilities, but the unfortunate reality is that it has little to do with web3AI. Let's take a closer look: What problem does AP2 solve? Simply put, the MCP protocol is like a universal hook, enabling AI agents to connect to various external tools and data sources; A2A is a team collaboration communication protocol that allows multiple AI agents to cooperate with each other to complete complex tasks; AP2 completes the last piece of the puzzle - payment capability. In other words, MCP opens up connectivity, A2A promotes collaboration efficiency, and AP2 achieves value exchange. The arrival of AP2 truly injects "soul" into the autonomous collaboration and task execution of Multi-Agents. Imagine AI Agents connecting Qunar, Meituan, and Didi to complete the booking of flights, hotels, and car rentals, but then getting stuck at the point of "self-payment." What's the point of all that multitasking? So, remember this: AP2 is an extension of MCP+A2A, solving the last mile problem of AI Agent automated execution. What are the technical highlights of AP2? The core innovation of AP2 is the Mandates mechanism, which is divided into real-time authorization mode and delegated authorization mode. Real-time authorization is easy to understand. The AI Agent finds the product and shows it to you. The operation can only be performed after the user signs. Delegated authorization requires the user to set rules in advance, such as only buying the iPhone 17 when the price drops to 5,000. The AI Agent monitors the trigger conditions and executes automatically. The implementation logic is cryptographically signed using Verifiable Credentials (VCs). Users can set complex commission conditions, including price ranges, time limits, and payment method priorities, forming a tamper-proof digital contract. Once signed, the AI Agent executes according to the conditions, with VCs ensuring auditability and security at every step. Of particular note is the "A2A x402" extension, a technical component developed by Google specifically for crypto payments, developed in collaboration with Coinbase and the Ethereum Foundation. This extension enables AI Agents to seamlessly process stablecoins, ETH, and other blockchain assets, supporting native payment scenarios within the Web3 ecosystem. What kind of imagination space can AP2 bring? After analyzing the technical principles, do you think that's it? Yes, in fact, the AP2 is boring when it is disassembled alone. Its real charm lies in connecting and opening up the "MCP+A2A+AP2" technology stack, completely opening up the complete link of AI Agent's autonomous analysis+execution+payment. From now on, AI Agents can open up many application scenarios. For example, AI Agents for stock investment and financial management can help us monitor the market 24/7 and conduct independent transactions. Enterprise procurement AI Agents can automatically replenish and renew without human intervention. AP2's complementary payment capabilities will further expand the penetration of the Agent-to-Agent economy into more scenarios. Google obviously understands that after the technical framework is established, the ecological implementation must be relied upon, so it has brought in more than 60 partners to develop it, almost covering the entire payment and business ecosystem. Interestingly, it also involves major Crypto players such as Ethereum, Coinbase, MetaMask, and Sui. Combined with the current trend of currency and stock integration, the imagination space has been doubled. Is web3 AI really dead? Not entirely. Google's AP2 looks complete, but it only achieves technical compatibility with Crypto payments. It can only be regarded as an extension of the traditional authorization framework and belongs to the category of automated execution. There is a "paradigm" difference between it and the autonomous asset management pursued by pure Crypto native solutions. The Crypto-native solutions under exploration are taking the "decentralized custody + on-chain verification" route, including AI Agent autonomous asset management, AI Agent autonomous transactions (DeFAI), AI Agent digital identity and on-chain reputation system (ERC-8004...), AI Agent on-chain governance DAO framework, AI Agent NPC and digital avatars, and many other interesting and fun directions. Ultimately, once users get used to AI Agent payments in traditional fields, their acceptance of AI Agents autonomously owning digital assets will also increase. And for those scenarios that AP2 cannot reach, such as anonymous transactions, censorship-resistant payments, and decentralized asset management, there will always be a time for crypto-native solutions to show their strength? The two are more likely to be complementary rather than competitive, but to be honest, the key technological advancements behind AI Agents currently all come from web2AI, and web3AI still needs to keep up the good work!

PANews reported on November 20th that, according to CoinDesk, India plans to launch ARC, a stable digital asset pegged 1:1 to the rupee, in the first quarter of 2026. Developed jointly by Polygon and local fintech company Anq, ARC will operate on the basis of a central bank digital currency (CBDC), employing a two-tier structure and limited to corporate accounts. Its aim is to curb capital flows to dollar-denominated stablecoins and support domestic debt needs. This mechanism, combined with Uniswap v4 whitelist controls, strengthens compliance and monetary sovereignty protection.
