OpenAI presidents journal entries emerge in Musk lawsuit, rattling Worldcoin

Nothing says “for the benefit of humanity” quite like a private journal entry about becoming a billionaire through AI dominance. Thats essentially the scene playing out in a federal courtroom, where OpenAI President Greg Brockman was asked to read aloud from his own 2017 journal during the ongoing Elon Musk v. OpenAI trial.  The entries, which Musk‘s legal team introduced as evidence, depict Brockman’s aspirations for personal wealth and control over advanced artificial intelligence. For an organization founded on the premise of developing AI as a public good, its the kind of internal documentation that makes PR teams lose sleep.  What the journal says, and why it matters  Brockmans journal entries date back to 2017, a period when OpenAI was still positioning itself as a nonprofit research lab dedicated to ensuring AI benefits all of humanity. The excerpts read in court paint a different picture: one of personal ambition tied directly to controlling transformative technology.  Musks legal team is using these entries as a cornerstone of their argument that OpenAI abandoned its founding mission in favor of profit. The lawsuit, which began in March 2024, has intensified significantly in early May 2026 with these revelations.  The crypto fallout: Worldcoin takes the hit  The trial‘s reverberations aren’t

LUNC Price Reclaims $0.0001 After Sell-Off—Can a Short Squeeze Push It to $0.00012?

The post LUNC Price Reclaims $0.0001 After Sell-Off—Can a Short Squeeze Push It to $0.00012? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News  Terra Classic has gained immense attention in the past few days as the price triggered a sudden rise of close to 190%. Although the volume behind the surge was below the average levels, it hinted towards a rise in the traders participation. Currently, the LUNC price has staged a strong recovery after a brief pullback, reclaiming the crucial $0.0001 level and reviving a strong bullish momentum.

LUNC Price Gearing for a Sharp Recovery  As seen in the daily chart, LUNC is attempting to break above a long-standing ascending resistance trendline near the $0.00012 region.

ClickFix malware campaign targets Mac users searching for help

Attackers are posting fake macOS troubleshooting guides on Medium, Craft, and Squarespace. The goal is to make users run Terminal commands that install malware targeting iCloud data, saved passwords, and crypto wallets.  Microsofts Defender Security Research Team published the findings. The campaign has been running since late 2025. It preys on Mac users searching for help with common problems like freeing up disk space or fixing system errors.  Instead of offering a legit fix, the pages tell users to copy a command and paste it into Terminal. That command pulls down and runs malware.  The misleading blog posts tell readers to copy a malicious command and paste it into Terminal. This command downloads malware and runs it on the victims computer.  The technique is called ClickFix. Its social engineering that changes responsibility for launching the payload onto the victim. Because the user runs the command directly in Terminal, macOS Gatekeeper never inspects the payload.  Gatekeeper normally checks code signing and notarization on app bundles opened through Finder, but this method sidesteps it entirely.  Microsoft spotted three campaign installers:A loader.A script.A helper.  All three harvest sensitive data, establish persistence, and exfiltrate stolen information to the attackers servers.  The malware families include AMOS, Macsync, and SHub Stealer. If any one

Policy at Consensus Miami: State of Crypto

White House adviser Patrick Witt said its possible the Clarity Act becomes law by July 4 while Senator Kirsten Gillibrand pushed for an ethics provision in the market structure bill. Consensus Miami 2026 wrapped up with a fiery debate on the role of prediction markets, and a lot otherwise happened at our first conference in the Sunshine State.  CoinDesk also released the results of a survey it commissioned of 1,000 registered voters on their views toward crypto heading into the 2026 election.  PS: I‘ll be at the Bermuda Digital Finance Forum next week. Let’s catch up if youre there.  The narrative  White House Executive Director of the Presidents Council on Digital Assets Patrick Witt told the audience at Consensus Miami this week that he believed it was possible to have President Donald Trump sign the Clarity Act into law by July 4. The timeline would require a markup this month (which seems very possible), four weeks for the Senate to merge the Banking and Agriculture bills (technically possible), a few weeks for reconciliation with the House (also technically possible) and the House vote (will depend on the House) and finally, the part where the president signs the bill.  Beyond Witt, we heard from various industry

LINK Price Today Slips Slightly as Traders Track Breakout Setup

Chainlinks price today has been trading above $10, with investors awaiting to see if LINK is able to continue its recent rally from BTC.  In addition to the recent move in Bitcoins price, fresh analyst charts indicated that LINK was testing major resistance areas with market strength from LINK/BTC.  According to data from BraveNewCoin, the price of Chainlink is $10.32, down 0.91% in the past 24 hours. But observers have been looking to see if LINK can continue to push higher than the $10.50 level and move from accumulation to a more prominent breakout period.  LINK BTC Candle Shows Strength  The trend of strength is indicated by the LINK BTC Candle. In a statement, LINK/BTC formed a strong weekly candle, which was an indication of strength within the crypto market, not just Bitcoin. The chart he drew indicated that LINK/BTC had been in a long downtrend but was now pressing higher to create a higher-low chart pattern around the bottom of the range.  According to his perspective, the earlier 40% increase in Bitcoin has raised the confidence of the entire market. This confidence can drive investment into other cryptocurrencies as traders look for more promising opportunities and higher returns.  In particular, the X chart of van

CLARITY Act Poll: 52% Support, 70% Say US Should Have Passed Crypto Legislation

Digital asset familiarity remains uneven, though ownership has become politically relevant. Harrisx found 39% of voters are familiar with digital assets and technology, while 61% are not. Still, two in five voters have purchased at some point, and 30% bought in the past year. The survey found familiarity and ownership are concentrated among men and voters under 35. Separately, 70% said the United States should already have passed clear legislation, while 60% preferred federal legislation over case-by-case enforcement.  National Security Message Drives CLARITY Act Support  Offshore market structure added urgency to the findings. Only one-third of voters knew eight of the 10 largest exchanges are based outside the United States. After learning that, 46% said trading beyond U.S. oversight is at least somewhat problematic, while only 13% called it fine or good. The CLARITY Act would clarify whether the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) oversees different digital assets. It would also create registration rules for exchanges and custodians and establish consumer protection standards for the digital asset industry.  The Harrisx report stated:  “A 70% majority say the U.S. should already have passed clear cryptocurrency legislation, and 62% say it is important that the U.S. set the global

After the $16.5 billion in exploits, DeFi is now being forced toward the controls it once resisted

The rsETH crisis resulted in $200 million in bad debt on Aaves books, despite not a single line of its contracts misbehaving.  On Apr. 18, attackers that Chainalysis preliminarily linked to Lazarus compromised RPC infrastructure, forced a failover to poisoned nodes via DDoS, and injected false data into a 1-of-1 DVN configuration on KelpDAOs rsETH bridge.  The forged message released approximately 116,500 rsETH, and Aaves incident report confirmed that Ethereum accepted nonce 308 while the Unichain source endpoint never advanced past 307.  The attacker supplied the compromised rsETH to Aave and borrowed against it, resulting in bad debt and serving as a frame for the current state of DeFis security.  Exploiters extracted over $635 million across 28 incidents in April, the worst monthly total in over a year. DefiLlama puts the cumulative historical cost of hacks at $16.5 billion, with $7.7 billion specifically targeting DeFi.  The high-profile exploits on Drift and the KelpDAO bridge resulted in DeFi losing nearly $11 bilion in total value locked last month.  That contraction institutional traction in the same capital markets.  DeFi exploiters extracted $635 million across 28 incidents in April, the sectors worst monthly loss in over a year, while cumulative historical hacks reached $16.5 billion.How did DeFi end up here?

Santiment Warns of BTC Rally Fatigue as Bullish Sentiment Peaks

Bitcoin (BTC) surged to $80,628, up 11.5% over the past 30 days, but crypto sentiment platform Santiment is sounding the alarm. According to a Saturday report, the spike in bullish chatter on social media may signal that the rally could be nearing its end.  Santiment noted a 1.5-to-1 ratio of bullish to bearish comments among active crypto accounts—a level often associated with overconfidence. Historically, markets driven by excessive optimism tend to face sharper pullbacks than those climbing against skepticism. “Rallies that arrive with a confident crowd tend to fade faster,” Santiment explained, suggesting that Bitcoin could benefit from a temporary pullback to $75,000 to flush out overleveraged positions and stabilize for healthier growth.  Sentiment Signals Flash Mixed Messages  The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which tracks overall market sentiment, underscores the current uncertainty. After dipping into “Fear” territory (38) last Thursday, the index rebounded to a “Neutral” score of 47 by Sunday, reflecting cautious optimism. Such mixed signals make timing the market increasingly challenging for traders.  Adding to concerns, Bitcoin supply on exchanges has increased over the past five days following an extended decline. Santiment interprets this as a potential sign of profit-taking, as holders may believe the current price levels represent a short-term

Ethereum Price Prediction: ETH Loses Parabolic Support

Ethereum  Ethereum Price Prediction: ETH Loses Parabolic Support  Ethereum is trading near a key level after losing short-term parabolic support while holding a wider reclaim zone. The next move around $2,300 could decide whether ETH extends its recovery or slips into a deeper pullback.  Ethereum Loses Parabolic Support as ETH Fails to Reclaim Key Curve  Ethereum slipped below its parabolic support line on the 12-hour chart, weakening the short-term bullish setup. ETH traded near $2,306 on Bitget after failing to reclaim the curved support zone marked by analyst Ted Pillows.  The chart shows ETH building a recovery structure from late February through April. Price climbed from the $1,750–$1,800 area and moved toward the $2,390–$2,465 range. However, the latest candles show Ethereum falling back below the parabola after losing momentum near the May highs.  ETH Parabolic Support Breakdown. Source:  This matters because parabolic support often acts as a trend guide during strong recoveries. When price stays above it, buyers usually control the move. But when price breaks below and fails to reclaim it, the setup can shift into consolidation or a deeper pullback.  Ted Pillows said ETH has “lost its parabola” and is now failing to reclaim it. He added that Ethereum could still see a final pump once
