Stablecoin supply on the Ethereum network fell by roughly $7 billion over the past week, dropping from $162 billion to $155 billion, according to on-chain data shared by analyst Darkfost.

In the study, researchers warned that misinformation campaigns are shifting toward autonomous AI swarms that can imitate human behavior, adapt in real time, and require little human oversight, complicating efforts to detect and stop them.Written by a consortium…
