Quick Summary: Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview finds thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities autonomously but will be restricted to vetted cybersecurity partners under Project Glasswing. Anthropic has confirmed the existence of Claude Mythos Preview, describing it as its most capable model to date, while announcing the model will not be made available to the general public. The decision is not driven by legal or regulatory concerns, nor by internal safety thresholds. Instead, Anthropic says the model’s offensive cybersecurity capabilities are the primary reason for restricting access.In pre-release testing, Mythos autonomously identified thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities spanning every major operating system and web…

Quick Summary: The U.S. Treasury has proposed rules requiring stablecoin issuers to establish anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance programs under the GENIUS Act. The U.S. Treasury Department has put forward a proposed rule outlining how stablecoin issuers must structure anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance programs under the GENIUS Act, a federal framework enacted last year. The proposal was issued jointly by the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and Office of Foreign Assets Control. It specifies the programs, procedures, and technical capabilities that regulated stablecoin issuers are expected to maintain.A central element of the proposal formally classifies stablecoin issuers as financial…
Quick Summary: Chainalysis projects stablecoin trading volume could reach $1.5 quadrillion annually by 2035, potentially overtaking traditional payment networks. Stablecoins could facilitate as much as $1.5 quadrillion in annual transaction volume by 2035, potentially eclipsing established payment networks, according to a new report from blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis. Even without significant catalysts, the firm projects adjusted stablecoin volume would reach $719 trillion based on existing growth trends alone. However, it identifies two major structural shifts that could more than double that figure within the decade.The first catalyst involves a generational wealth transfer expected to unfold between 2028 and 2048, during…
Quick Summary: The US Treasury has proposed rules requiring payment stablecoin issuers to adopt anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance programs under the GENIUS Act. The US Treasury Department has issued a joint proposed rule through its Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and Office of Foreign Assets Control that would impose anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance obligations on payment stablecoin issuers. The notice, released on a Wednesday, forms part of the broader implementation of the GENIUS Act, which was signed into law in July 2025. The proposal marks a significant step toward integrating stablecoin issuers into the existing federal financial regulatory framework.Under…
Quick Summary: A Bernstein report says quantum computing threatens Bitcoin’s cryptography but gives the industry three to five years to adopt quantum-resistant standards. Advances in quantum computing could eventually undermine Bitcoin’s cryptographic foundations, but the threat remains manageable and is unlikely to cause existential disruption to the network, according to a new report from Bernstein. The research team — Gautam Chhugani, Mahika Sapra, Sanskar Chindalia, and Harsh Misra — characterizes the situation as a “manageable upgrade cycle” rather than an “existential risk.” Their assessment comes amid growing attention to the long-term security implications of quantum technology for digital assets.Recent breakthroughs,…
Quick Summary: Michael Saylor says Bitcoin likely bottomed near $60,000 in early February and sees BTC-based credit markets as the next major price driver. Michael Saylor has stated that Bitcoin most likely reached its price floor near $60,000 in early February, a point at which forced sellers were cleared from the market. He made the remarks at an event hosted by Mizuho, offering his outlook on where the leading cryptocurrency stands today. The exit of those compelled sellers, in his view, marked a turning point for the asset’s price trajectory.Looking ahead, Saylor identified the emergence of banking infrastructure and digital…
Quick Summary: OpenAI has published a safety framework outlining legal, technical, and operational measures to prevent AI from being used to create child sexual abuse material. OpenAI has released a policy blueprint aimed at curbing the use of artificial intelligence in generating child sexual abuse material. The framework outlines a range of legal, operational, and technical measures intended to strengthen protections against AI-enabled exploitation. The company states that the proposal was developed with input from organizations working in child protection and online safety. It represents one of the more detailed industry-level responses to growing concerns about generative AI being misused…
Quick Summary: Investment firm Bernstein says quantum computing represents a long-term upgrade cycle for Bitcoin rather than a catastrophic threat to the network. A new report from investment firm Bernstein pushes back against fears that quantum computing could devastate Bitcoin, arguing the technology should be viewed as a long-term upgrade challenge rather than an existential danger. The firm notes that the threat is neither new nor confined to cryptocurrency, extending equally to financial services, military systems, and healthcare infrastructure. Bernstein’s assessment comes as anxiety around a so-called Q-day — the point at which quantum computers could break current encryption —…
Quick Summary: Nearly 3,000 Hyperliquid users had oil positions forcibly closed after benchmark crude prices fell more than 12% following a reported Iran ceasefire. Traders on Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange, suffered widespread liquidations on Wednesday after benchmark oil prices recorded their sharpest single-day decline since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

By comparison, approximately 2,380 users were liquidated while trading Bitcoin perpetual futures during the same window.On…
Quick Summary: Cloudflare plans to make its entire platform resistant to quantum computing attacks by 2029, prioritising post-quantum authentication. Cloudflare has announced plans to make its entire web infrastructure platform resistant to quantum computing attacks by 2029, with a particular focus on post-quantum authentication. The company outlined its roadmap in a blog post published Tuesday, warning that compromised authentication keys could enable attackers to impersonate servers, gain unauthorised system access, or push malicious software updates. The accelerated timeline reflects mounting concern across the technology industry about the pace of quantum computing development.Sharon Goldberg, senior director of product management at Cloudflare,…
