DeFi researcher Ignas said on X that the AI era has not fundamentally changed how meme coins are traded. Odaily reports that Grok generally bases meme recommendations on historical signals such as viewer counts, trading volume, and post activity on X.

Ignas emphasized that successful meme coin trading still depends on human judgment about a project’s breakout potential, including market sentiment, community dynamics, narrative appeal, and whether influential promoters suddenly back it. He noted that staying online around the clock to monitor sentiment still outpaces asking AI once per day what to buy.

Beyond trading, Ignas described AI as altering liquidity provision approaches. He described an AI agent that can automatically scan liquidity pools and evaluate metrics like trading volume, fee behavior, liquidity depth, and viable price ranges. While the methodology is still being refined, he said the framework is capable of continuous improvement and compounding returns over time.

He added that if meme coin trading and constant online monitoring aren’t ideal, using AI to learn and execute liquidity provision strategies could be a more approachable skill to master.

The U.S. government is drafting a postwar strategy aimed at containing Iran, seeking to rally regional partners and push for normalization with Israel, according to Jiemian News.

Two U.S. officials and two other people familiar with the matter said the plan remains in an early stage and could require several more weeks to complete.

The draft identifies three main elements: building a regional front to contain Iran with the United States as guarantor; advancing the second phase of the Gaza peace plan to help Israel reach security arrangements with Syria and implement a ceasefire framework with Lebanon; and expanding the Abraham Accords to bring Israel into closer relations with additional Arab states, notably Saudi Arabia.

The plan is intended to guide U.S. Middle East policy in the final two years of President Donald Trump's term after the war ends.

The report noted that Israel's October 27 election and the U.S. congressional midterms in November could affect the plan. It also stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly rejected the Gaza peace plan, while Israeli forces continue strikes in Lebanon and Syria and have not fully withdrawn.
