For anyone worried that AI would eliminate every profession except the one sending messages about your frozen crypto account, there’s unwelcome news for that last bastion of human enterprise. Fraud has found an automation budget.Scamming has always required a surprising amount of manual labor. Romance scams need someone to keep a conversation going for weeks, investment fraud needs someone to answer questions and maintain a believable identity, and impersonation scams need someone to keep the act together long enough to transfer money. AI can now do more of that work, meaning the same criminal operation can reach far more people…

The acceleration leaves the product about $85 million short of the $1…

President Donald Trump’s new Russia sanctions law gives Bitcoin traders another macro deadline to watch: Oct. 18.On Sept. 18, Trump signed H.R. 5334, starting a 30-day clock for his administration to determine tariffs that could disrupt Russian energy trade and potentially feed into inflation, Treasury yields, and the dollar. Those channels matter for Bitcoin because tighter financial conditions have historically weighed on crypto markets.The law requires the president to raise duties on all Russian goods imported into the US, including oil, natural gas, and petroleum products, by up to 500%. The figure is a ceiling rather than a mandated rate,…

A new report from OKX and Token Terminal says real-world-asset (RWA) futures on trade.xyz edged past crypto futures on Hyperliquid in July. The headline numbers were $107.6 billion of RWA-contract volume against $105.7 billion of crypto-contract volume.That was a selected-venue crossover, not an industry-wide change in market leadership. The underlying report treats trade.xyz and Hyperliquid as category-leading onchain venues. Broader datasets confirm that RWA perpetuals are growing quickly, but they do not show a comparable takeover of crypto derivatives as a whole.RWA futures crossed crypto inside the report’s sampleThe report tracked July 1 through July 30 and found that RWA…

Bitcoin hit an intraday high of $81,400 on Friday, approaching the low-$82,000 zone that has capped every recovery attempt since late August.US spot Bitcoin ETF shares stop trading once American markets close for the weekend. Any further push through that ceiling over the next two days would occur in continuously open crypto markets, without US spot ETF-share trading.The week’s shocks already happenedBitcoin absorbed two real setbacks before Friday’s rebound. The Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act, and the Federal Reserve delivered its first rate hike in three years, raising its target range 25 basis points to 3.75% to 4.00%…

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says laptop AI is approaching a practical turning point. Wallet software still needs a much higher bar before it can hand an AI control over crypto assets.He said on Sept. 17 that Qwen 3.8 Flash and recent improvements in llama.cpp had brought local models close to handling a “large share” of tasks on his Strix Halo laptop.For more advanced work, he described a local model coordinating requests to stronger remote systems while withholding the user’s full personal context.The benchmark image attached to the post showed 10 workloads. Its reported input-processing rates ranged from 109.82 to 373.22…

Binance lowered the collateral ratio for six tokens on Sept. 18, while Coinbase International Exchange says 29 assets will leave its eligible-collateral list on Sept. 29. That ratio determines how much of an asset’s market value an exchange recognizes for borrowing or margin calculations.The exchanges operate separate products and account systems, but both changes show how an affected token can keep the same market price while contributing less to a trader’s borrowing limit or margin cushion.Binance’s Sept. 18 update cut collateral ratios for AUCTION, BLUR, GALA, HYPER, S and SYRUP from 30% to 10%. The same update raised ARB, TAO…

A roughly $5.15 million outflow from US spot XRP exchange-traded products on Sept. 17 interrupted a $192 million inflow month. The reversal creates the first clean test of whether recent demand is cooling, yet the broader flow pattern still favors the buyers. Maketo’s five-fund series remained about $10 million positive for the rolling week through Sept. 17. Its rolling month contained 16 inflow days and two outflow days, and Canary Capital’s official fund table showed that only part of the daily reversal coincided with a confirmed contraction in shares. The base case is a narrow, one-session reset inside a positive…

Anthropic’s Claude helped three security researchers breach OpenAI accounts and reach an internal code repository within 72 hours.Researchers at cybersecurity startup Hacktron chained an image-processing vulnerability with a flaw in OpenAI’s identity infrastructure in July to gain access to multiple employees’ ChatGPT and Codex accounts.One compromised Codex account was connected to OpenAI’s GitHub organization, giving the researchers a path into the company’s internal software environment.The team stopped after instructing the compromised employee’s Codex account to create a harmless pull request inside OpenAI’s private openai/openai monorepo. Hacktron said the researchers did not inspect proprietary source code.This week, Hacktron disclosed the vulnerabilities…
