first_img Bill Gates: AI is the most dangerous invention of humanity, and the future year may see a large number of negative events in cybersecurity

On the 11th, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates stated in a television interview that AI is the most dangerous technology ever invented by humanity, with risks exceeding those of cars, airplanes, and pharmaceuticals. He mentioned that the real threat at present is not AI going out of control, as that scenario is still years away from becoming a reality; rather, the more immediate threat is criminals using AI to carry out extortion, manipulate the stock market, and other crimes.Gates indicated that as criminals crack and bypass the security protections of the latest AI models, there will be a significant number of negative events in the cybersecurity field over the next year. He also mentioned concerns about biosecurity, stating that AI has significant implications for fields such as healthcare, but the potential risks still outweigh those of traditional industries that are already under strict regulation. Currently, there is no effective regulatory framework established globally, and within the next year, industry governance will have to move beyond mere self-regulation, while existing resource investments are far from sufficient.According to reports cited by the Financial Associated Press, Ken McCallum, the director of the UK's MI5, stated in the annual threat assessment that AI is exacerbating the cyber offense and defense game and may change the risk landscape of biological weapons. MI5 has announced the establishment of an AI threat assessment center. Additionally, reports indicate that executives from laboratories such as OpenAI and Anthropic have recently privately simulated disaster response plans, believing that a likely scenario involves cyberattacks impacting financial services, internet connectivity, or water and electricity supply.

first_img MegaETH ecosystem MNX launched, introducing futures for private AI companies such as OpenAI

According to CoinDesk, the cryptocurrency exchange MNX, developed by the prediction market platform Manifold Markets, officially launched on Tuesday, offering futures contracts linked to the valuations of private AI companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, and Moonshot. The platform is built on the MegaETH blockchain and completed a $6.4 million funding round in June, led by Village Global.Compared to existing products from OKX and Bitget, MNX's contracts expire at the end of 2027 and do not charge periodic funding rates; the perpetual contracts offered by Bitget and OKX have no expiration date. Max Killberg from Village Global stated that AI is driving one of the largest investment cycles in history, but the financial infrastructure surrounding it remains quite underdeveloped. The organization hopes to build financial markets around AI rather than just betting on another prediction market.Stephen Gruggett, co-founder of Manifold Markets, indicated that MNX's model is better suited for private companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, which have infrequent equity trades and are difficult to price. Traders can use up to three times leverage, with prices determined by trading activity on the MNX platform rather than external price sources.If the company is still not publicly listed when the contracts expire, the exchange will use public valuations from funding rounds, investment funds, or secondary markets; MNX currently does not serve U.S. customers but plans to obtain the necessary licenses and intends to launch markets covering a broader range of the AI economy, including company revenue, employment, housing, AI supply chains, and computing power.

first_img U.S. Congressman Warren Davidson: The future of currency will determine the direction of Western civilization

According to Bitcoin Magazine, U.S. Congressman Warren Davidson stated in an interview video published by Bitcoin Magazine that the future of currency is closely linked to the future of Western civilization.He pointed out that the U.S. is burdened with about $40 trillion in debt, and since 2020, the dollar has lost about 30% of its purchasing power. The rising risk of default and inflation are driving up interest rates, and those without physical assets will lose purchasing power. Davidson is the founder of the Sound Money Caucus.In the interview, Davidson also discussed the end of the debate vote on the Clarity Act and its Section 305's threat to self-custody, as well as whether the bill will be reintroduced after the midterm elections, and topics such as open-source developer protection and the Trump family ethics clause. He also mentioned the American Reserve Modernization Act and the issue of the U.S. government holding Bitcoin, and responded to whether Bitcoin has become a partisan issue.Additionally, Davidson expressed his views on central bank digital currencies, financial surveillance, and reforms to the Bank Secrecy Act, referring to stablecoins as "Hydra-like" central bank digital currencies, and discussed the GENIUS Act. He urged Bitcoin supporters to defend freedom in the midterm elections and warned that the direction of the monetary system's development will determine the trajectory of Western civilization.

first_img Fidelity Executive: Institutions Have No Turning Back on the Path to On-Chain Tokenization Future

According to Cointelegraph, Matthew Horne, Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Fidelity Investments, stated during a panel discussion at the Longitude conference in Singapore that there is "truly no turning back" as institutional forces have driven assets towards an on-chain future over the past 18 months. He pointed out that tokenization brings structural advantages to financial institutions and helps asset management companies reach new markets, with U.S. asset management companies particularly motivated to move assets on-chain.Ka Yan Chan, Head of Digital Asset Development at UBS, mentioned that government bonds and stocks, as core assets for portfolio construction, could bring billions of dollars on-chain. She believes that what will truly drive the scale from hundreds of billions to trillions will be market infrastructure participants like the Federal Reserve or DTCC taking the lead in transforming the custody layer into a tokenized platform, upon which industry participants can build a distribution layer.Data shows that demand for tokenized assets has increased by 41% in the past 30 days, with the number of holders surpassing 493,000. In December 2025, the SEC issued a "no-action" letter to a DTCC subsidiary, allowing it to provide new tokenization services for the securities market; in September, the SEC approved a temporary exemption allowing tokenized U.S. stocks to be traded on specific on-chain venues. Over the past 30 days, more than $1.2 billion has moved on-chain, with the total amount of stablecoins and tokenized assets exceeding $323 billion. Geoff Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered Bank, predicted in August that tokenized real-world assets could reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028.
