AI trading agents now execute a growing share of crypto order flow with little or no human input — but the safeguards around them have not kept pace. The result is a new kind of market risk that shows up both in individual account security and in the collective behaviour of autonomous systems at scale.

Critics said the language could shift too much authority to tribal leadership, reduce direct voter control and expose the tribe to outside federal influence. After a late roll-call vote, council members announced they had cleared the…
