Google appeals EU orders to share search data and open Android to AI rivals

Google has asked Europes General Court to throw out two Digital Markets Act orders that would potentially force the tech giant to feed search data to its rival engines and let competing AI assistants run on Android systems with the same reach as its own Gemini.   The appeals are focused on instructions issued by the European Commission in July under the DMA, which represents the EUs rulebook for its largest tech platforms. One of the orders mandates Google to give competing search providers, including AI chatbots, access to the info users search for and click on, along with a January 2027 deadline.  The second order would require Google to open up parts of Android that currently give Gemini an advantage, allowing rival AI services to access features such as voice activation and the ability to carry out tasks within other apps.  Googles privacy and security case  Google is presenting the appeal as a response to what it says are risks to users and not just the company‘s concerns over market share. Oliver Bethell, Google’s senior director of competition, said the decisions would require the company to share users private search histories without adequate anonymization and equally weaken security protections on Android.  Bethell argued that

Bitcoin faces bigger risk from another Fed hike than CLARITY delay, analyst says

Bitcoin has faced a larger threat from a possible second Federal Reserve rate hike than from the Senates failed CLARITY Act vote, according to comments from a HashKey Group researcher shared with crypto.news.  SummaryThe Fed raised its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 3.75%–4.00% on Sep. 16.HashKeys Tim Sun said an October hike could change how investors view the September decision.The Senates Sep. 15 procedural vote on the CLARITY Act failed 49–50.Sun identified Treasury yields, spot Bitcoin ETF flows and derivatives leverage as key factors for Bitcoin.  Tim Sun, HashKey Group‘s senior researcher, told crypto.news that Bitcoin’s path now depends more on U.S. financial conditions and investment flows than on the stalled market structure bill. In particular, he said another rate increase in October could lead investors to treat Septembers hike as the start of repeated tightening, rather than a single preventive move.  Sun said such a change could end Bitcoins current upward momentum. He pointed to long-term Treasury yields, money entering U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds and the amount of leverage in derivatives markets as the main factors to follow.  Why Bitcoin faces an October rate test  The Federal Reserve raised its target range by a quarter percentage point to 3.75%–4.00% on Sep.

Bitget CEO ‘not very optimistic’ on recovering funds from $388M breach

The CEO of crypto exchange Bitget isnt sure that the company can fully freeze or recover all the assets compromised in a security breach last week that resulted in the loss of $388 million in crypto.  Speaking on Cointelegraph‘s Chain Reaction released Tuesday, Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said she was looking at the February 2025 hack of crypto exchange Bybit as a “good reference point” for Thursday’s breach. Hackers stole about $1.5 billion worth of Ether (ETH) from Bybit, and the company reported only freezing and recovering a combined $80 million.  “I‘m actually not very optimistic because after a year or so of Bybit’s hack, they‘ve only [been able to freeze] about 3.5% of the total stolen funds,” said Chen. “That’s only the freezing. Its not about recovery yet.”  Bitget CEO Gracy Chen (left) speaking to Cointelegraphs Ciaran Lyons (right). Source: Cointelegraph  Bitget launched a bounty program in response to the incident, offering 5% of funds frozen and 5% for those recovered. Some companies have already stepped up to try to mitigate user losses.  The team behind NEAR Intents reported on Monday that it had blocked more than $50 million in assets tied to the attack and froze about $500,000. Chen also confirmed that stablecoin

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.

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
