AI Doom Is a Sales Pitch, Says a Former FTC Commissioner

60 Votes and One Fed Decision: Bitcoin's Make-or-Break Week

Two scheduled events land within days of each other, and only one of them sets rules that outlast the week. Bitcoin traders are watching a Senate procedural vote on the CLARITY Act and a Federal Reserve rate decision, but the vote count is the number that actually matters.

Robinhood vs. AMC: Tenev Draws the Line on Tokenized Stocks

Vlad Tenev says issuers shouldn't be able to veto tokenized stock products that don't change shareholder rights or the official ledger. AMC's Adam Aron disagrees. The fight is really about who controls how retail gets exposure to public equity.

Pi Network's SoloHost Update Fixed the Plumbing. It Didn't Fix the Demand.

Pi Desktop 0.6.3 improves SoloHost, adds app rankings and a My Apps dashboard, and squashes login bugs. What it doesn't add is a single feature that requires Pioneers to hold or spend PI, and that's the gap that keeps mattering.

Machi Big Brother is holding $151.17 million in long positions on Hyperliquid against just $5.95 million of account value. Every position points the same direction and two of his three assets are red over the past week. That's a public liquidation target, not a hedge.

Tom Lee Says Ethereum's Killer App Is Settling Wall Street and AI Trades

Fundstrat's Tom Lee says Ethereum's real value is becoming the settlement rail for Wall Street and artificial intelligence. ETH held up better than nearly every other top-ten coin during the recent pullback, which gives his argument a little weight. Here's what's actually behind the claim.

Amodei Wants AI to Slow Down. The Tape Is Pricing Something Else.

Anthropic's Dario Amodei published an essay calling for slower frontier model development, and OpenAI's Sam Altman ruled out an IPO this year. Nasdaq futures fell roughly 1% Sunday night. The market is reading it as a demand scare. It's really a positioning story.

An attacker minted roughly 2^62 raw units of synthetic bitcoin through Symbiosis's native Bitcoin Bridge on Sep. 11, sold about 4.39 WBTC for $336,000, and walked away.
