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 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…

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.

The same update raised ARB, TAO…
