Last week on DevNTell, Michal Pospieszalski was a guest to discuss securing crypto with MatterFi and SwissFortress. MatterFi is an easy-to-use fintech infrastructure that helps make finance more secure for both humans and AI. SwissFortress is a private universal solution enabling "send to name" crypto wallets and custody systems meant to combat phishing.
You can listen to a recap of the episode on Spotify.

Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2 network, Base, sparked a wild crypto rollercoaster this week after an unofficial token linked to its social media post skyrocketed—then crashed—leaving traders reeling.
The chaos began when Base’s official X account shared a post that automatically transformed into a tradable token, “Base is for everyone,” through the platform Zora. Despite clear disclaimers that it wasn’t an official investment, traders piled in, briefly pushing its value to $13 million. But within hours, it plummeted 92%, wiping out millions. The token later rebounded slightly, but not before angering investors caught in the whiplash.
Base defended the move as an “experiment” to push content onchain, emphasising that the token was never meant as an investment. Zora, the platform behind the token’s creation, cryptically advised users to “study Zora,” while critics like Hantao Yuan, a blockchain founder, alleged that a few large holders controlled nearly half the supply, hinting at possible manipulation.
Eliza Labs, the team behind the elizaOS protocol, has unveiled auto.fun, a new platform that lets anyone build, deploy, and monetize autonomous AI agents—no coding required.
The platform enables users to create AI assistants that operate independently across social media (like X), DeFi protocols, and other Web3 ecosystems. These agents can handle tasks such as automated trading, social media management, and even optimizing yield farming strategies.
"We want to democratize access to AI and Web3 by letting users create agents that work for them," said Shaw Walters, founder of Eliza Labs.
Bank of America is pushing lawmakers to pass regulations that would give traditional banks like itself an advantage in issuing stablecoins, potentially sidelining crypto companies like Tether and Circle. The bank wants to launch its own dollar-backed "Bank of America coin" and is lobbying to restrict non-bank firms from entering the stablecoin market.
While Congress considers a new stablecoin bill, Bank of America hopes to shape the rules in favour of banks, despite its history of regulatory violations. If successful, this move could shift control of stablecoins from crypto innovators to big banks, threatening the decentralized nature of the industry. The outcome of this lobbying battle will determine whether stablecoins remain open to crypto projects or become dominated by traditional financial institutions.
