Bitcoin Holds at $64,300 as MetaMask Launches AI Agent Wallet

Bitcoin traded cautiously ahead of the August U.S. nonfarm payrolls report, a key input for expectations around Federal Reserve interest-rate policy. A recovery in crude oil added to concerns that inflation could remain elevated, creating another headwind for cryptocurrencies and other risk assets. Separately, MetaMask’s move into AI-powered wallet automation underscores a broader push to make complex onchain activity more accessible while preserving self-custody.

Bitcoin was little changed near $64,300 in the latest session before the jobs data, with renewed oil-price pressure limiting risk appetite. Crypto miners MARA and Riot transferred a combined $37 million in bitcoin to NYDIG, movements that traders may monitor for potential financing, custody or selling activity. MetaMask also unveiled its AI-driven Agent Wallet, designed to execute onchain transactions automatically and continuously monitor activity on users’ behalf.
