PANews reported on October 9th that Kerrisdale Capital, a prominent short-selling firm, announced it has shorted Bitmine, the Ethereum treasury reserve company. The firm believes the DAT (Digital Asset Treasury) model has become mediocre, with the market flooded with copycat projects, resulting in a collapse in premiums and a loss of the ability to increase ETH per share by issuing shares above net asset value. Companies pursuing this "crypto-asset treasury strategy" originally planned to raise over $100 billion, but the scarcity that underpinned the high premiums has been shattered. Today, many of these companies' shares are trading near or below net asset value, stalling their self-circulating mechanism and beginning to collapse. MSTR, one of the earliest DATs, has seen its premium decline from 2-2.5 times its net asset value to approximately 1.4 times. BMNR's premium has also continued to decline, with expectations of parity with or even lower than its net asset value. Currently, BMNR's MNAV is approximately 1.4 times, leaving over 40% room for further decline.PANews reported on October 9th that Kerrisdale Capital, a prominent short-selling firm, announced it has shorted Bitmine, the Ethereum treasury reserve company.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token
The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
