Alibaba-backed 3D AI startup Vast is weighing a Hong Kong listing, according to the article. The report also covers MoonPay’s launch of PayBox on July 29, a non-custodial crypto vault that integrates with ChatGPT and Claude, enabling users to trade and spend crypto via natural-language prompts that require passkey approval before funds move. The security infrastructure relies on Sodot, the MPC key-management firm MoonPay acquired for about $100 million in April 2026. Fortune reported that MoonPay unveiled the tool on July 23 and said it would go live on July 28, with users able to fund it from a bank account or with cryptocurrency. PayBox uses a non-custodial wallet, passkey-based authentication where available, and user-set rules around agent actions. According to MoonPay’s terms, PayBox can store credentials and manage keys for a self-custodial wallet, but it is not a custodian, payment processor, broker, exchange, or merchant of record. Users can set guardrails, such as limiting purchases under a certain dollar amount or requiring notification before a purchase. The article contrasts this with Visa’s Intelligent Commerce developer materials, which describe agent-specific tokens, passkey authentication, payment instructions, and controls matching payment credential requests to the user’s original instruction, including merchant and amount checks.
