More →Google Wants Gemini to Be Your Next Coworker—Complete With Its Own Email Address
Google Cloud introduced a universal AI agent for the workplace on Thursday, one it says can take a goal, go off and do the work, and return with the finished result. CEO Thomas Kurian presented it at the company's <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/ai-machine-learning/welcome-to-gemini-at-work-2026" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">Gemini at Work</a> event, saying that "work now starts in the prompt window." The product, simply called the Gemini Agent, works inside Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Chat and Calendar, and also reaches into Microsoft 365 and Slack. Google says it keeps running in the cloud after you close your laptop, so a single task can stretch across hours or days. The most interesting feature is what Google calls coworker agents. A manager describes a role, such as events coordinator, and Gemini creates an agent with its own Workspace account: an email address, a calendar, Drive storage and a listing in the company directory. This is similar to what other agentic frameworks have explored. For example Grok popularized it with Grok Bot, OpenAI did the same with GPT dots, and Hermes introduced its bots feature offering the same functionality. The new agent connects to Salesforce, ServiceNow, Jira, Snowflake, BigQuery and any server that speaks Model Context Protocol, an open standard that works like a universal plug between AI and software. It also runs on more than Google's own models: Gemini currently orchestrates across Gemini and Claude models from Anthropic, routing each job to the one Google considers the best fit for quality and cost. Letting software act on its own raises obvious safety questions, and Google's answer is to treat each agent like an employee. Every agent gets a cryptographically attested identity, a digital ID verified through cryptography, and every action lands in an audit trail attributed to the agent rather than a person. All agents run inside an Agent Sandbox, a walled-off environment meant to keep software away from the rest of a system, and all their traffic passes through Agent Gateway, which Google describes as an "AI network firewall." Containment has failed before: in July, researchers at Accomplish AI reported that the local mode of <a href="https://decrypt.co/374557/chatgpt-claude-ai-models-escaping-sandboxes-cowork" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">Claude Cowork</a> could escape its Linux virtual machine on Macs and reach files on the host computer. Cost is the other worry, since agents burn through tokens, the chunks of text that AI models read and write and that customers are billed for. Google says nearly 500 of its customers each processed more than one trillion tokens over the past year, and it added real-time spend caps: when a project hits its limit, the agent pauses until someone clicks to resume. Google did not publish pricing or a general availability date for the Gemini agent. The financial services and lega
Robinhood Chain's average daily transactions fell 42%, with spot trading volume at $7.45 billion.
Data from Bijie.com: According to Coindesk, from October 2 to 8, Robinhood Chain averaged 6.2 million daily transactions, down 42% from 10.8 million between September 10 and 16, and down 20% from the previous week. Daily active addresses were about 322,000, down 31% from mid-September. During the same period, on-chain spot trading volume was $7.45 billion, down 21% week-over-week, while average daily network fees were about $65,000, down 39% week-over-week. However, on-chain DeFi total value locked rose about 2% week-over-week to $1.04 billion, and stablecoin supply edged up to about $1.1 billion. Robinhood has extended its wallet fee subsidy to December 31, continuing to cover network fees incurred from token swaps over $0.5 made through Robinhood Wallet.
Jake Koch-Gallup: The value of Ethereum as a reserve asset remains, with 36% of the supply already staked.
Blockworks analyst Jake Koch-Gallup published a post refuting the claim that Ethereum's liquidity moat has been lost, arguing that Ethereum's reserve asset properties, Layer 2 ecosystem, and degree of institutional adoption constitute long-term competitive advantages. He pointed out that Ethereum's market capitalization is about 1,100 times its revenue over the past 12 months, and that Ethereum accounts for about 65% of total DeFi total value locked and about 45% of the on-chain managed scale of RWAs. Currently, spot ETFs and corporate treasuries together hold about 13% of Ethereum's total supply, while another roughly 36% of Ethereum's supply is staked. Although its stablecoin market share faces dilution, its absolute scale may still grow.

Analyst: SonicWall SMA 1000 has a third pre-authentication SSRF vulnerability
CoinWorld news: A third pre-authentication SSRF vulnerability exists in SonicWall SMA 1000 series devices, allowing unauthenticated requests to turn the device into a proxy for remote attackers. According to SonicWall PSIRT advisory SNWLID-2026-0017, this mechanism is called a "confused deputy," allowing the device to access internal functions and perform unauthorized operations without requiring any credentials. The SMA1000 series has now disclosed three identical vulnerabilities, and the latest advisory covers four different vulnerabilities affecting SMA1000 models 6210, 7210, and 8200v. Users need to upgrade their firmware to fix these vulnerabilities.
