LOBSTAR jumped ~190% in 24h after SOL AI agent mistakenly sent 5% supply to a random user, highlighting agentic risk.

Summary
  • AI agent on SOL misparsed decimals, sending 52.439m LOBSTAR (~5% supply), initially valued near $250k–$440k instead of a ~$400 donation.
  • Recipient’s rapid sell-off into thin liquidity produced extreme slippage; on-chain estimates show realized proceeds collapsing to only a few thousand dollars after reinvesting and losses.
  • Despite treasury loss, LOBSTAR volume spiked and price briefly surged up to ~190% as traders embraced the “agentic risk” narrative around autonomous SOL agents

An artificial intelligence agent operating a Solana blockchain wallet mistakenly transferred 52.4 million LOBSTAR tokens to an unintended recipient due to a coding error, according to reports from the cryptocurrency community.

The incident resulted from a technical failure that caused the agent to send approximately 5% of the total token supply to a random address instead of executing a small donation as intended, according to blockchain transaction records.

The error occurred when the agent experienced a session reset that erased its memory of previous allocations, according to technical analysis of the incident. The malfunction led the automated system to transfer 52.439 million LOBSTAR tokens rather than the intended smaller amount.

Technical experts indicated the problem stemmed from a parsing error, with the agent apparently misinterpreting token decimal values as raw integer values. The absence of protective safeguards allowed the erroneous transaction to execute on the blockchain.

The recipient initially held tokens with significant paper value, but market conditions prevented realization of those gains. Attempting to sell 5% of the total supply into limited market liquidity resulted in severe price slippage, reducing the actual proceeds to a fraction of the apparent value, according to market data.

The recipient subsequently allocated a substantial portion of the proceeds into a newly launched token bearing their name, according to blockchain records. The new token experienced rapid price decline as liquidity dried up and the position lost value within minutes.

The final realized value from the six-figure token transfer amounted to only a few thousand dollars, according to estimates based on transaction data.

The token’s price later increased as community members adopted a narrative around “agentic risk,” referring to risks associated with autonomous agent operations, according to social media discussions among token holders.

The incident has drawn attention to the need for protective mechanisms when autonomous systems control cryptocurrency assets, according to blockchain security observers.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
