  "summary": "Binance has launched a platform called Agent OS, which allows AI agents to analyze markets and execute trades on users' behalf. The platform connects AI applications and agents to Binance's financial infrastructure, bringing autonomous AI into the management of real money.\n\nAgent OS works with various tools, including OpenAI's ChatGPT and Codex, Anthropic's Claude Code, and Cursor. Users can authorize agents to access market data, view account information, and execute trades, but they also have control over what agents can access and trade, and can set limits on their actions.\n\nBinance, the world's largest crypto exchange with over 300 million registered users, is putting responsibility on users to keep AI agents in check. According to Jeff Li, vice president of product at Binance, users have \"granular access control\" over what agents can do.",
