Chainalysis says it's brought in outside experts to review its security after a cybersecurity incident. It hasn't said what was touched, when it was detected, or how many customers are affected.

Bakkt's Daniel Ishag has a hypothetical that exposes the real bottleneck in agentic commerce: an AI agent can find you a bargain business-class fare to Korea and send you to the wrong one. The rails for agent payments shipped in 2025. The trust layer didn't.
