According to a report by the American financial media Semafor, a memorandum shows that Public First Action, associated with the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, and its affiliated super political action committee believe that AI safety advocates view the U.S. midterm elections as a significant victory and are formulating the next phase of their action plan.Public First, which has received substantial funding from Anthropic and advocates for regulatory safeguards for artificial intelligence, stated that the super political action committee Leading the Future, which supports AI development, has already "suffered a crushing defeat." The organization also warned that interpreting this round of elections and the decline of Leading the Future as the end of large tech companies' AI political strategies would be a mistake.The goals set by the organization for 2027 include: promoting legislation on AI in Congress that does not exclude states' rights to legislate independently, supporting candidates advocating for AI safety regulation, and utilizing the current $30 million in funds to counter the messages conveyed by the pro-AI development camp.

Texas Governor-elect Gina Inohosa stated, "Don't hate data centers, hate how they take advantage of Texans. We can establish a strong partnership with Musk and his companies on our terms. We must halt the current construction of data centers until we find measures to protect the safety of Texans."

OKX founder Star Xu posted that many packages and performances ultimately prove to be makeshift. He mentioned that a security incident involving $6.3 billion reportedly began when an employee fell into a fake job interview trap, which subsequently affected two other employees, and internal AI tools may also have been involved, questioning whether this is what is called "multi-layered defense."Star stated that he does not want to speculate too much on the security control failures of competitors, but he reminded users in the crypto industry that an overly marketing-oriented corporate culture can be extremely dangerous. He noted that users may care more about event rewards, while hackers and scammers are targeting the entire principal amount; security, responsibility, and compliance should always come before marketing, as no matter how enticing the event rewards are, they cannot compensate for the loss of principal.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin warned at Devcon 8 that AI poses new threats to security and privacy, while also helping to discover vulnerabilities.

According to Bloomberg, Wang Ruomeng, an official from China's National Development and Reform Commission, stated on Tuesday that China is accelerating the legislation of artificial intelligence, implementing full lifecycle supervision on the development and application of AI, covering aspects such as data and computing power.This set of standards aims to prevent the risks of increasingly powerful AI losing control and is considered one of the more comprehensive AI safety guidelines currently available. Regulation will involve major developers such as DeepSeek, Dark Side of the Moon, and Alibaba, which are pushing to create products that can compete with the top models from OpenAI and Anthropic.

OKX founder and CEO Star released a meme titled "Kim Jong-un dressed as the Grim Reaper knocking on OKX's door," stating that seeing this cartoon made him feel both proud and under immense pressure. He claimed that he can responsibly say that OKX has always prioritized safety and the protection of customer assets as its lifeline. The past 13 years of safety records are backed by over a decade of continuous technological investment, engineering accumulation, security system construction, practical experience, and strict operational management.Star also mentioned that since the recent security incident at Binance, the entire OKX team has been very busy, with many colleagues in security, technology, and risk control working day and night. This is not because OKX has been attacked, but because any security incident faced by a large trading platform serves as a warning for the entire industry. During this time, the OKX team has been continuously working on four aspects: real-time tracking of stolen funds; comprehensively strengthening market risk control; in-depth analysis of attack patterns and potential vulnerabilities. Using the lessons from competitors as a mirror, they are re-evaluating their own security system. Star concluded by stating that in the face of security, the entire industry should stand together.

Binance Co-CEO and co-founder He Yi posted on X, stating that the current top priority is to ensure the safety of the environment, after which users can withdraw funds, and Binance can resume operations. She mentioned that every action has motives and pointed out that some exchanges, P2P platforms, and commercial banks have opaque ledgers, disappearing with funds after shutting down their websites, with companies going into liquidation or bankruptcy, providing any excuse, leaving no way to know how much actual funds are in the accounts and where the funds have gone.He Yi also stated that such closures often come without any warning, with the relevant parties disappearing directly, no real operations taking place, and no one coming forward to explain what happened, making it impossible to open withdrawals. She thanked users for their support at the end of her message. Binance had previously suspended withdrawals due to a security incident, and the official announcement on November 1 stated that withdrawals would be gradually restored starting from 06:00 (UTC) that day, and by 12:36 (UTC), withdrawals for the first batch of 15 networks and corresponding assets had been restored.Binance stated that from 06:00 to 15:30 (UTC) that day, the platform processed $4.649 billion in withdrawals and $1.01 billion in deposits, with a net outflow of approximately $3.64 billion, accounting for about 2.1% of the $171 billion asset management scale indicated by the reserve proof as of October 28. The official also noted that the withdrawal volume had peaked initially but has since declined and stabilized, while the deposit volume remains substantial, and the other networks and assets are still undergoing continuous testing, with further details to be announced in subsequent phases.

Due to the sell-off of technology stocks triggering a demand for safe-haven assets, U.S. Treasury yields accelerated their rise during the Asian trading session on Friday, with yields on all maturities falling by at least 3 basis points. Bonds from Australia, Japan, and New Zealand followed suit, with the 10-year government bond yield dropping by more than 5 basis points.In October, the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has fallen by nearly 40 basis points.

According to Bloomberg, Anthropic warned in its IPO-related documents that its public advocacy for AI safety regulation and statements from executives may expose the company to risks such as pressure from the Trump administration and selective scrutiny. This risk is related to the company's multiple conflicts with the Trump administration, including disputes over requests to impose safety restrictions on the use of its AI technology by the Department of Defense, as well as disagreements regarding the safety of the Mythos model and export controls.Anthropic also warned that even if other similarly situated companies are not treated equally, Anthropic may still become a specific target for certain departments of the Trump administration. Future export restrictions and cybersecurity or biosafety incidents triggered by AI models could impact its product deployment, international expansion, and business growth.The company also acknowledged that once the regulatory measures it advocates are implemented, they may increase compliance costs, restrict product development and release, and slow its own growth.

According to Bloomberg, the UK government has announced an investment of £100 million (approximately $134 million) to build an artificial intelligence biosafety laboratory, supported by OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind. According to a statement from the UK government, the laboratory will utilize artificial intelligence to detect and monitor biological threats.In addition to the aforementioned funding, OpenAI and Anthropic will also provide up to £200 million in usage credits for artificial intelligence models. The laboratory will also collaborate with Google DeepMind and life sciences company Basecamp Research, with the UK government allocating an additional £65 million for developing responses to pathogens.The announcement also includes an additional £120 million to the Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute, which is responsible for regularly assessing cutting-edge artificial intelligence models; and an additional £23 million to the under-construction Artificial Intelligence Economic Research Institute for analyzing the impact of artificial intelligence on the economy.

QCP stated that the credit risks related to AI infrastructure are accelerating in repricing. CoreWeave's bond yield has risen to about 15% this year, as the market begins to reassess high financing costs and debt sustainability.The related pressure has spread from CoreWeave to the broader neocloud infrastructure sector, dragging down the performance of tech stocks and crypto assets, while pushing funds towards long-term U.S. Treasury bonds.

Anthropic recently submitted a draft AI safety bill to U.S. lawmakers, which has been questioned by U.S. AI safety advocates. The draft sets a high threshold for the government to urgently halt dangerous models, requiring that risks involve scenarios such as biological weapons, cyberattacks, or AI going out of control, and potentially causing more than 50 deaths or serious injuries, or losses exceeding $1 billion; some provisions may also limit state government regulatory authority.Nathan Calvin, the strategic head of the AI safety organization Encode, subsequently compiled Anthropic's decisions over the past year. In February of this year, the company modified its previously strict safety policy: it had previously committed to pausing training or releases if safety measures did not keep pace with model capabilities, but the new policy no longer requires the company to independently halt R&D at higher risk stages, citing that competitors might take advantage of the opportunity. During the same period, the company invested heavily in computing power, formed a chip team, and allowed Claude to take on more AI R&D tasks.On October 21, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei posted a lengthy rebuttal on X. He acknowledged that the company had made some mistakes but insisted that competing for cutting-edge AI capabilities did not violate its safety mission, stating that the company adheres to a race-to-the-top approach, believing that only by staying at the forefront of technology can it drive the industry to raise safety standards. He listed nine safety decisions that had cost the company commercially, including restricting the Mythos-level model's open access for months and strictly limiting biology-related requests. The safety roadmap updated by the company on October 19 states that existing policies mainly target the deployment of dangerous models, and in the future, it may be necessary to directly limit the speed of R&D, with plans to propose relevant policy options by January 15, 2027, or explain why none were proposed.
