These transaction amounts are usually less than 1 dollar, and the senders utilized Bitcoin's OP_RETURN feature to write text information on the chain.One sender has repeatedly sent "Help me bro" to all 19 wallets held by the hacker since last Friday. The sender paid about 1000 satoshis (approximately 78 cents) for each wallet in each round, spending a total of about 46 dollars after three rounds, including fees, and has not received a response so far.Others suggested that the hacker go to THORChain via a link for asset swapping and stated not to return the funds to Binance founder CZ.

In response to the investigation, Meta stated, "There is no reason to initiate a competition investigation. We have committed not to modify the relevant terms without consulting publishers and other stakeholders."

According to a report by Decrypt, a national survey commissioned by the cryptocurrency policy advocacy organization DeFi Education Fund and conducted by Ipsos shows that 22% of American adults have held or used cryptocurrency, up from 18% in 2025, but the usage rate over the past 12 months remains flat at 13%. The survey, conducted from September 8 to 16, interviewed 1,545 adults, with a margin of error of ±2.8 percentage points. The growth almost entirely comes from users who have dropped out: among those who have not used cryptocurrency in the past year, the proportion who had held or used it rose from 5% to 11%; the willingness to purchase in the future also remains flat, with 17% indicating they might hold or use it in the future, compared to 16% last year.In terms of user demographics, the usage rate for men in the past year was 18%, while for women it was 8%, with the former being more than double the latter. Adults under 60 showed a significantly higher usage rate than older individuals. The primary reason for trying cryptocurrency is curiosity (34%), followed by long-term investment (25%). Respondents expressed significant unease about the traditional financial system: only 19% believe it is safe, and 63% think it needs to be upgraded to address cybercrime and AI threats; 60% are concerned about data breaches at large financial institutions, and 54% doubt their ability to withstand AI-driven threats, while 74% indicate that financial privacy is important.This skepticism has not translated into trust in cryptocurrency. Only 4% have high trust in cryptocurrency exchanges, and 5% have high trust in decentralized platforms, while large national banks and credit unions have trust levels of 42% and 48%, respectively. The knowledge gap is also significant: only 2% of Americans are very familiar with DeFi, 6% can identify all four characteristics of cryptocurrency listed in the survey, and 35% are completely uncertain about how to describe cryptocurrency. However, 40% indicate that if DeFi were available, there is at least some possibility they would try it, with over 80% stating they would use it to save money, earn interest, or send money to friends and family; the desire to understand stablecoins and DeFi decreased from 11% to 7% and 8%, respectively.

On October 14, the OpenAI Economic Research Team released a report stating that EU companies are expanding the use of AI with agent tools, no longer just asking questions to AI, but using agents to complete tasks from planning to execution. The report examines the growth of agent usage among large and small enterprises, differences in usage intensity, and the types of work people are accomplishing with ChatGPT.In a sample of EU clients using ChatGPT Enterprise, Codex and ChatGPT work currently contribute over half of the output tokens. Since May 2026, the number of weekly active users of Codex and ChatGPT work among EU small and medium-sized enterprises has increased to more than 8.1 times the original, with growth in all member states. The article defines small and medium-sized enterprises as those with no more than 200 associated users.The proportion of relevant output tokens in the sample is lowest in Slovenia at 22% and highest in Lithuania at 85%. Leading enterprises are defined as those ranking in the top 10% for output tokens per active user, with the sample including only ChatGPT Enterprise and ChatGPT Business accounts. In September, this metric for leading enterprises in the EU exceeded that of general EU enterprises by four times, while leading enterprises outside the EU still surpassed leading enterprises in the EU by more than twice, with companies headquartered in the EU accounting for only 10% of the world's leading enterprises.

On October 8, the artificial intelligence company Anthropic updated its usage policy, adding prohibitions against election interference, weapon software, and surveillance. TechCrunch reported that the most notable change is the explicit prohibition against users subjecting the model to prolonged verbal abuse.Since the update in August, Claude has been trained to end conversations during ongoing harmful or abusive user interactions, and the new policy explicitly prohibits users from continuing such conversations. The policy states that this update applies only to extreme cases where users repeatedly treat the model cruelly without identifiable purpose, and does not apply to common user dissatisfaction, rebuttals, dark creative themes, or model testing and research.The usage policy also prohibits widespread deceptive activities, such as operating fake accounts or fabricating news organizations with Claude, and in the "Do Not Undermine Democratic Processes" section, it prohibits deceiving voters or disrupting elections. Reports indicate that this change occurred after Anthropic sought collaboration with well-known religious scholars, as the company attempted to persuade them that Claude might be conscious or have a soul in certain cases.
