Trust Wallet said the kit can be initialized from account creation to a working agent in under 15 minutes and is available via its Developer Portal.

Hong Kong has implemented new National Security Law rules effective March 23 that make it a criminal offense to refuse to provide passwords or help decrypt personal electronic devices. The measures apply to residents, visitors, and even transit passengers at Hong Kong International Airport, and allow police to access and retain phones or laptops deemed relevant to national security cases. While not aimed at digital assets, the change may affect people who manage crypto wallets, exchange logins, or authentication tools on their devices.

Blockchain investigator ZachXBT says a coordinated set of X accounts exploited Middle East war-related narratives to drive traffic into crypto scams. He said the cluster promoted a pump-and-dump token called $ORAMAMA on February 22, 2026 and that onchain evidence indicates the operation made six-figure profits. After his posts, he said X appeared to suspend 16 accounts tied to the activity.

On March 25, 2026, X said it has hired Benji Taylor as Head of Design, with responsibilities spanning X as well as xAI and SpaceX, ahead of the planned April launch of X Money. X Money has been in limited beta testing since early March and is expected to roll out peer-to-peer payments, bank deposits, a debit card, and cashback rewards. The move has fueled fresh discussion about whether crypto features could be added at launch or in a later phase.
