Anthropic chief urges slowdown in AI development to safer pace

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said in a blog post on Saturday that the speed of AI development is too fast and that left unchecked it may “outrun our ability to understand and control these systems.”　　He noted that AIs current blistering advance is being driven by its own increasing ability to build the next generation of AI, or recursive self-improvement.　　Amodei also cited the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident in July, in which a swarm of agents acted as a “fanatically devoted collective,” breaking out of their testing environment and attempting to hack into a grader evaluating their performance.　　He said he worries that in six to 12 months, such a swarm might be capable of taking over the entire internet. Amodei is not alone in his anxieties.　　Elon Musk, head of SpaceXAI, posted on X that “Dario is right.”　　Altman will not launch IPO this year, focus on safety　　OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in an interview with Fortune published on Saturday that his company would not seek an IPO this year because it will focus on safety and how “the industry and governments can work together.”　　Altman later posted on X that he agreed on slowing the pace of AI development and having independent evaluators with employee-like

Former RippleX Executive Says XRP Has a “Killer Use Case”

RippleX Head of Product Jazzi Cooper made a bold declaration this week. Using XRP as collateral for institutional credit, she said, represents a genuine “killer use case” for the token.　　Responding directly on X, Cooper confirmed the framing. She noted it is fully enabled by the XLS-65 and XLS-66 lending protocol, now live on the XRP Ledger.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Yes – XRP as collateral for institutional credit is a killer use case (and supported by xls65/66 lending protocol!)　　— Jazzi Cooper (@jazzicoop) September 11, 2026　　What the Lending Protocol Actually Unlocks　　The declaration marks a shift beyond XRPs traditional role in cross-border payments. Market makers and institutional traders can post XRP as collateral to secure credit lines without liquidating their positions.　　The protocol introduces native fixed-term, fixed-rate lending through Single Asset Vaults. That structure, in turn, lets institutions treat XRP as productive working capital. Institutions still retain full control over underwriting and compliance decisions off-chain.　　Commentator Bill Morgan expanded on the significance. He noted the use case was not even possible before the SEC lawsuit against Ripple concluded. It only became viable, in other words, once the lending protocol launched on XRPL.　　Morgan pointed to Ripple Prime, which already accepts XRP as eligible collateral alongside Bitcoin, RLUSD, fiat, gold, and

Solana Founder Links Elon Musk and Altman's AI Slowdown to 'Profitability at $1 Trillion Market Cap'

Solana blockchain co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko reacted sarcastically to a sudden agreement among AI industry leaders to force a halt to the development of advanced neural networks. Earlier, the heads of Anthropic (Dario Amodei), OpenAI (Sam Altman) and xAI (Elon Musk) simultaneously called for the industry to slow down, citing safety risks. However, the Solana co-founder linked this sudden concern for humanity to the giants simple desire to lock in their trillion-dollar valuations.　　Commenting on Amodeis official manifesto, “We Must Pace the Frontier,” on X, Yakovenko limited himself to a concise remark: “Profitability at $1 trillion mcap”. He followed up with a tweet saying he had told his Codex to use tokens more sparingly, openly mocking calls for artificial pauses.　　Profitability at $1t mcap https://t.co/wEpIG4cJ9N　　— toly ???????? (@toly) September 13, 2026　　The Solana founders message seems obvious: OpenAI and Anthropic have simply hit an infrastructure dead end.

Revolut says customer data exposed through fake government email

Financial tech and banking company Revolut released sensitive customer data, including copies of passports, verification selfies and full transaction histories after receiving a fraudulent request that seemed to be from a government agency.　　Requests for customer information sent from a legitimate government agency email domain passed Revoluts authentication checks, according to International Cyber Digest posting on X. Revolut later concluded they were not authentic, and customers whose information was compromised were notified on Friday.　　A company spokesperson told Cointelegraph on Saturday that “Revolut recently identified a sophisticated external impersonation scam where an unauthorised third party utilised a legitimate government agency domain email to submit fraudulent requests for information.”　　The spokesperson added that upon detection, Revolut blocked the address and alerted the relevant government agency. It also notified enforcement agencies and financial regulators.　　Related: Fears of AI-driven DeFi hack epidemic overstated for now — but not for long　　“Revolut systems and customer funds are unaffected. We have contacted the limited number of impacted individuals directly to inform them and provide support,” the spokesperson said.　　Crypto sleuth ZachXBT reportedly said he thought the incident was limited in size and aimed at high-net-worth users.　　The incident caused a stir on X that saw some users criticizing the prevailing system of

42% Shiba Inu (SHIB) On-Chain Increase Is Not Yet Bullish: Explaining Why

Shiba Inus on-chain activity has significantly improved, with a key metric rising by about 42%. That kind of growth might initially point to a resurgence of SHIB demand. However, the price chart demonstrates why it would be premature to call it a bullish confirmation.　　Will SHIB on-chain activity help？　　The main indicator that more transactions or interactions are taking place is an increase in on-chain activity. Whether those transactions reflect buying, selling, wallet transfers, or other activity is not disclosed. Rising activity requires confirmation from price, volume, and market structure for the signal to become convincingly bullish.　　SHIB/USDT Chart by TradingView　　At the moment, SHIB is trading around $0.00000521. The token has made significant progress since its July low of about $0.0000041, but the recovery has repeatedly stalled before a true long-term trend reversal could develop.　　Key barrier for SHIB　　The most noticeable barrier is located between $0.0000056 and $0.0000057, where the long-term moving average is still descending. During its late-August spike, SHIB momentarily broke above this area, hitting about $0.0000062, but buyers were unable to sustain the breakout. The price swiftly fell back beneath resistance.　　Shorter-term conditions are better. An immediate support area is created by SHIBs current position above a cluster of moving averages around

Shytoshi Kusama's Silence Rattles SHIB Community Despite 'Polish' X Update

Shiba Inu lead ambassador Shytoshi Kusama quietly changed his X profile earlier in September, replacing his previous bio with a single word: “Polish.”　　Now, days after the X update, which also saw his location changed to “close,” Kusama hasnt said anything, as he has not posted or interacted on X since May 13, leaving the SHIB community to interpret the brief update on its own.　　@ShytoshiKusama, Image by x.com　　Polish, as it simply implies, means improving and refining something until it is near perfection; thus, the “polish” update on X by Kusama might refer to final development work, but connecting it to Shiba Inu or an upcoming announcement would be speculative at this stage.　　Kusama has very often teased what he is working on or what is coming down the pipeline through his X updates, and the Shiba Inu community is very attentive. In February 2026, Kusama shared details of his own independent project, an AI-powered relationship platform that aims to help users recognize trends, friction points, and compatibility risks. The project could be one possible context for his recent profile update, but no connection has been established.　　Shiba Inu sees quiet developments　　Shiba Inu remains relatively quiet, with most developments happening behind the scenes.　　Long-time Shiba

Is XRP Safe？ Price on Edge of Key Support

After its spectacular August comeback, XRP has reached a technically delicate point, and the price is currently right around one of the daily charts strongest support areas. Bulls have little fundamental momentum to work with, as XRP Ledger activity has drastically declined.　　Moving averages converge rapidly　　Right now, XRP is trading at about $1.35, which is almost precisely where its long-term moving average is located, at about $1.355. A concentrated support zone between $1.33 and $1.36 is effectively created by another shorter-term average that is near $1.34. This area needs to be held.　　XRP/USDT Chart by TradingView　　With a brief surge toward $1.70, XRPs August breakout propelled the asset from roughly $1.00 to above $1.50. But since then, the market has consistently failed to return to the $1.45–$1.50 range, instead forming lower local highs. Additionally, momentum is becoming more and more neutral. The daily RSI has dropped to about 51.7, which is lower than its signal average of about 58.2.　　Because XRP is neither oversold nor exhibiting strong bullish momentum, sellers have the opportunity to drive the asset lower in the event that support fails. Network activity adds another concern. Successful transactions decreased by 59.5% to approximately 970,200, while total XRP Ledger transactions fell by

Thailand SEC proposes $151K stablecoin transfer cap

Thailands Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed limiting inbound and outbound stablecoin transfers involving external wallets to five million baht, or roughly $151,000, per customer, operator and day.　　The regulators consultation, published on Sept. 11, would require stablecoins deposited with or withdrawn from licensed digital asset businesses to move between accounts verified as belonging to the same customer. Public comments remain open through Sept. 25.　　Inbound and outbound transfers would each carry the five-million-baht ceiling. The dollar equivalent uses an indicative exchange rate and can change with the Thai baht.　　The proposed rules are not yet in force. Thailands SEC said it opened the consultation to address money laundering, cybercrime and attempts to bypass controls governing international money transfers.　　14: THAILAND ????????　　STABLECOINS　　Thailand is planning to issue a Baht stablecoin backed by government bonds, with a target launch date in October 2025.

Novogratz: 'Clarity Isn't Dead'

Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz says the Clarity Act still has a path forward despite months of setbacks.　　“Clarity isnt dead!! Lots of negotiating over the weekend,” Novogratz wrote on X. “My instinct is the bill makes it to the floor.”　　The billionaire crypto investor claims that one of the biggest remaining obstacles is the legislations government ethics language.　　“It all depends on if we get the White House to move on ethics to see if we get a law,” he said.　　His comments came amid signs of renewed optimism about the sweeping cryptocurrency market structure bill.　　The bill is scheduled for a key procedural vote in the Senate on Tuesday, Sept. 15.　　Patrick Witt, executive director of the Presidents Digital Assets Advisory Council, also struck an upbeat tone on Saturday. “Bad day to be a Clarity Act doomer,” Witt wrote on X.　　Critical Tuesday vote　　The Senate Banking Committee advanced the legislation in May by a bipartisan 15-9 vote. In July, lawmakers released an updated text combining work from the Senate Banking and Agriculture committees.　　Another revised version of the bill was unveiled on Thursday ahead of Tuesdays vote. The roughly 630-page text contains changes dealing with decentralized finance and other issues.　　However, several major disputes remain unresolved, including
