AI news brief: Before FTX’s bankruptcy, Alameda Research spent over $1 billion to acquire a roughly 20% stake in Genesis Digital Assets, and now these crypto mining assets have been repurposed for AI compute. Investment firm SWI Group announced it completed roughly 800 million euros (about $900 million) in funding to expand its data center and AI compute capacity in Europe and the US, which includes the Genesis Digital Assets mining business once tied to FTX.
AI News Flash: The Financial Stability Board (FSB) sent a letter to G20 finance ministers and central bank officials on Monday, flagging cross-border stablecoin regulation and AI financial risk as two key issues ahead of Thursday’s G20 meeting.

According to the FSB’s 2025 annual review, only 11 of the 28 surveyed jurisdictions have completed…
AI News Flash: EU tech commissioner Henna Virkkunen told Reuters on Friday that the bloc’s current AI rules are enough to handle the risk of rogue AI agents, responding to global concern sparked by recent incidents at OpenAI and Anthropic. She noted that safety and security issues around highly capable models have become a hot topic internationally, and the EU is already well prepared on this front. The EU’s AI Act, passed two years ago, is one of the world’s strictest AI regulations, with risk-tiered oversight covering these models across their…
AI News Flash: About 28% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply has publicly exposed public keys (per Rafael data), with nearly 1.8 million BTC held on exchanges — meaning 57% of total exchange balances currently have exposed public keys. Separately, a Strategy-led group has reportedly committed $15 million toward pushing quantum-resistant upgrades for the Bitcoin network. This warning stems from comments made by Ethereum researcher Jus…
AI news brief: The Trump administration announced a science initiative worth over $6 billion last Thursday, spanning quantum computing and artificial intelligence. The Department of Energy designated eight scientific application areas as evaluation criteria for the ‘Quantum Genesis Q Competition,’ offering up to $215 million in funding to reward companies developing fault-tolerant quantum computers through milestone-based disbursements paired with incentive bonuses.
AI news brief: this story has no direct connection to existing tasks, so just producing a summary. Anthropic rolled out a new service called OSS Scanner this week, letting open-source projects apply to have their code scanned for security vulnerabilities by its most capable models (including Claude Mythos). Several crypto-related projects have already applied since launch…
AI News Brief: Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has publicly backed a warning that rapid advances in AI’s math capabilities could threaten current blockchain cryptography before quantum computers ever do. Ethereum researcher Justin Drake posted on Wednesday urging the industry to prepare for ‘bunker mode,’ arguing that AI may soon be able to crack the elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (…
AI News Brief: Raoul Pal believes Bitcoin will be largely absent from the AI-agent-driven crypto economy, with capital flows instead rotating toward smart contract platforms like Ethereum and Solana. He points out that this cycle’s Bitcoin rebound happened between August 19-25, with BTC rising about 25% to $80,000, while AI bellwether stock Nvidia fell for seven straight trading days over the same period…
AI news brief: Nvidia’s stock fell for seven straight trading days in late August, while Bitcoin rallied about 25% between August 19-25 over the same stretch, hitting $80,000 — Raoul Pal says this is evidence of capital rotating into crypto while AI trades paused. He argues liquidity isn’t abundant enough yet, and this rotation signal means the market is still waiting for more liquidity to be released. If the AI bubble actually bursts, that would be bad news…
