According to Crypto Briefing, Lightning Labs released the open-source extension pi402 on November 12, enabling AI programming agents to use Bitcoin to pay for their reasoning fees via the Lightning Network. This tool is specifically built for Pi programming agents and does not require account registration, API keys, or credit cards; agents can resume work by paying invoices after seeing the prices.pi402 is based on the L402 protocol, combining the HTTP 402 "Payment Required" response with Lightning Network invoices, allowing for instant settlement after payment by the agent. This implements a token-based billing model, where agents pay based on actual consumption. Sellers can accept payments through the Aperture and Lightmeter tools, and neither party needs to run a Lightning node; payments are processed by the Ark-based Wavelength wallet. The demonstration price is approximately $0.375 per million input tokens and $1.5 per million output tokens.

a16z Chief Legal Counsel Miles Jennings posted on X that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has released new FAQs that further clarify its token classification framework. He pointed out that Question 1.4 clearly states that systems can maintain decentralized governance and use legal entities such as DUNA; Question 1.5 distinguishes between licensed and unlicensed systems; and Question 1.6 clarifies the difference between "functional" and "decentralized."The SEC's Division of Corporation Finance updated the relevant Q&A on November 2. The response to Question 1.4 states that participants in a widely governed functional crypto system, if not interconnected and without formal or informal collaborative arrangements other than participating in that governance system, typically do not constitute a group of persons or entities defined as "centralized parties"; even if they do form such a group, they must still possess operational, economic, or voting control to meet the definition of "centralized parties." This conclusion also applies to cases where the governance system belongs to an organization, association, or foundation, and participation is based on holding native crypto assets.The response to Question 1.5 states that centralized party oversight of participants refers to the authority to control access to the system at the protocol, validator, or user level, such as unilaterally granting or restricting access, deciding on upgrade voting procedures, controlling who can participate in consensus, or modifying rule code, revoking transactions, and access. The response to Question 1.6 states that "functional" refers to native crypto assets being usable according to the system's programmed purposes, while "decentralized" refers to the system operating autonomously without any person, entity, or group having operational, economic, or voting control; the two are distinct concepts. The above responses represent the views of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance and do not constitute SEC rules or statements.

Democratic senators in the U.S. Senate have accused Elon Musk's social media platform X of giving preferential treatment to the prediction market Polymarket. Nevada Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, California Democratic Senator Adam Schiff, Nevada Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen, and Connecticut Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal wrote in a joint letter first disclosed by Semafor that typically, X allows users to report ads for various reasons. However, when users attempt to report Polymarket's ads through X's standard interface, they are unable to select the report option. Other types of ads, including those from Kalshi, do not have this issue.This letter, which includes screenshots, claims that this seemingly unfair special treatment raises questions about whether X is trying to provide Polymarket with an improper competitive advantage, thereby benefiting the U.S. President and his family. Donald Trump Jr. has invested in Polymarket and serves as an advisor to the platform.

According to official news, regarding the recent security incidents involving Bybit, Bitget, and Binance, OKX founder and CEO Star stated that security should not be a field of commercial competition, but rather a shared responsibility of the entire cryptocurrency industry. Over the past decade, major exchanges have made significant progress in private key protection, but there are still potential risks in access control and wallet management systems. He emphasized that no system is absolutely secure, and any major security breach at an exchange could undermine the trust of the entire industry.Star called on major exchanges in the cryptocurrency industry to strengthen cooperation and jointly establish stricter industry security standards and coordinated response mechanisms, including increasing verification and security delays for large withdrawals to unknown addresses and smart contract authorization transactions, as well as implementing key security restrictions at the cryptographic signature layer. At the same time, the industry should establish real-time security incident reporting, joint monitoring of suspicious funds, and rapid response mechanisms, and promote collaborative research in areas such as post-quantum cryptography and AI security threat defense. He emphasized that no single company can safeguard the future of the cryptocurrency industry alone.
