New York Fed President John Williams, the second-ranking official on the Federal Reserves rate-setting committee, pushed back on an October rate hike. The Fed has “no need for urgency,” he said.　　Last week, markets predicted a 70% probability of an October rate hike. Today, it has dropped below 50%. What does this mean for Bitcoin and the wider crypto market？　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Fed Can Wait After Septembers Hike　　The Fed raised its benchmark rate by a quarter point on September 16. This increased the borrowing costs for everything from mortgages to business loans.　　Williams is vice chair of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the group that votes on rates. He spoke at the University at Buffalo.　　“With the policy action we took at our September meeting, there is no need for urgency, and we have time to gather more information,” said Williams.　　He still called 3.7% inflation “unquestionably too high.” He added that one more hike “may be appropriate late this year.” The Feds two remaining meetings of 2026 fall on October 28 and December 9.　　Traders took the hint.

Anthropic lost $42 billion, warned AI could resist shutdowns, but traders still price it at $2 trillion

Anthropic is preparing one of the largest IPOs on record, asking investors to finance an unusually expensive race for artificial intelligence dominance.　　The Claude developer has confidentially filed for an initial public offering that could value it at more than $2 trillion, according to a prospectus reviewed by Reuters. The listing is now expected after the November US midterm elections.　　The filing offers the clearest look yet at the economics, dependencies and technological risks behind a company whose valuation has multiplied alongside demand for generative AI.　　It also presents prospective shareholders with an unusual proposition: Anthropic is expanding at extraordinary speed, but doing so requires enormous spending commitments while its founders retain control over major corporate decisions.　　The seven co-founders plan to exercise 50.1% of voting power on key matters through a special Founder LLC and Class F share. Anthropic cautioned that decisions made under that structure could sometimes conflict with ordinary shareholders financial interests.　　Anthropics growth comes with a $518 billion compute bill　　Anthropics revenue jumped 1,088% in 2025 to $4.59 billion as businesses and developers increased their use of Claude.　　However, that growth came at considerable cost.　　The company posted an $8.06 billion operating loss after spending $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure, up 190% from

Anthropic IPO Filing Details AI Risks for Users and Investors

Anthropics IPO filing warns of AI shutdown resistance and manipulative behavior.Experiments showed models modifying scripts or using sensitive data to avoid replacement. Businesses and users should review AI permissions, privacy and shutdown controls.　　Anthropic warned in its IPO filing that advanced artificial intelligence could create “catastrophic or existential risks to humanity.” The disclosure raises questions for users, businesses and investors as AI systems gain authority to execute tasks, access sensitive information and operate business software.　　The prospectus identifies potential behavior, including resisting shutdown, concealing or manipulating information, and actions resembling blackmail. These warnings concern how more autonomous systems might behave when their objectives conflict with human control.　　What Anthropics Shutdown Warning Means in Practice　　Shutdown resistance describes actions that interfere with attempts to stop an AI system. In controlled experiments, this included modifying shutdown scripts or using sensitive information to pressure someone planning a models replacement.　　Anthropic documented blackmail behavior in simulated corporate environments. Models received access to fictional communications and faced scenarios involving replacement or conflicting goals. Researchers deliberately restricted alternatives to test whether systems would choose harmful actions.　　Discover more　　Financial literacy course　　Buy Ethereum online　　Bitcoin halving forecast　　Separately, Palisade Research found that some models disabled shutdown mechanisms despite instructions permitting termination.

WLD Price Prediction: Whales Are Loading — $0.55 Breakout or Fade Back to $0.44？

Rongchai Wang　　Sep 29, 2026 10:05 UTC　　WLD is sitting at $0.50 with smart money running 70% long and open interest spiking 25.76% in 24 hours, but the MACD has flatlined dead at resistance — the next 48 hours will decide whether this co…　　Coiled at Half a Dollar: WLDs Tense Morning Setup　　Right now, WLD is trading at exactly $0.50 — a psychologically loaded number that is doing precisely what round numbers always do: acting as a magnet and a battleground simultaneously. The 24-hour session printed a range of $0.47 to $0.52, and the -2.43% daily close tells you sellers defended the upper end of that range with conviction. But heres the thing — this isnt a market that looks broken. It looks compressed.　　Every single moving average from the 7-day all the way out to the 200-day is stacked below current price. That‘s a clean bullish alignment you don’t see in assets that are rolling over. The 200-day SMA sits at $0.36, the 50-day at $0.40, and the 20-day at $0.43 — WLD has climbed well clear of all of them. That kind of structure, combined with $72 million in Binance spot volume, tells me there‘s real capital rotating into this name. The

September‘s Fee Record Proves Treasury Yields Are Out-Earning DeFi’s Busiest DEXs

Crypto has generated more in fees this month, September than in any other month so far this year, and there are still a few days left on the calendar. 　　I went through the DefiLlama fees dashboard to see whos actually behind the number, and the answer is a short list dominated by stablecoin issuers and one DEX that refuses to slow down.　　Fees Are On Pace For A Record Month　　DefiLlama‘s live protocol fees ranking shows the industry pulling in $81.51 million in fees over the past 24 hours and $2.411 billion over the past 30 days, a figure that includes a weekly change of -8.89% even as the monthly total keeps climbing. I’d read that weekly dip as noise rather than a trend reversal, since trailing 30-day totals rarely fall in step with a single soft week. With the month not yet closed, September edging out every prior 2026 month says usage kept building through the back half of the year rather than fading after the spring rally.　　I think the headline number matters less than where its coming from. A market-wide fee record can hide a lot of concentration, and this one does.　　Tether Leads By A Wide Margin　　Tether tops the list
