PANews reported on January 30th that YO Protocol announced the launch of its native governance token, YO, and released its token economics model. The total supply of YO is 1 billion tokens, allocated as follows: 30% for community growth and future rewards, 24% for core contributors, 21.5% for ecosystem development and strategic partnerships, 16.5% for early investors, and 8% for the genesis airdrop. The token airdrop will open on February 5th, and eligible users can claim their tokens by connecting to their Base network wallet.

The YO token will be launched in phases: In the initial phase, the token will be non-transferable to encourage active participation in governance and promote long-term consistency with real users; during this phase, transfer functionality is expected to be enabled through governance voting when feasible. Holding YO will grant voting rights on key protocol decisions, including future plans, vault usage, and vault parameter adjustments. For early users and the community, the YO Protocol launched the YO Rewards Program on January 29th for two weeks. Users can earn YO rewards by depositing yoUSD, yoETH, yoEUR, yoBTC, or yoGOLD into vaults or participating in supported DeFi activities. During the initial phase, the reward rate for all vaults is set at 14%.

Previously, in December 2025, it was reported that YO Labs, the development team behind YO Protocol, completed a $10 million Series A funding round, led by Foundation Capital.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
