IBM Partners With NASA to Release AI Model Built on Lunar DataResearchers can now use an open-source AI model from IBM and NASA, the newly released NASA-IBM Lunar Foundation Model, to sift through decades of lunar observations for ice, craters, and volcanic terrain in preparation for returning people to the Moon’s surface. The system is available as a free download on Hugging Face, with its full codebase published on GitHub, according to NASA Science. Studying the lunar surface has always been a relatively slow process, with two options: either combing through maps and images by hand or training a narrow, low-resolution machine-learning model for each request. Both of these options are expensive to run and often miss the fine detail scientists need in their research, IBM said in its announcement. IBM makes system free on Hugging Face The release of a foundation model helps, though, as researchers can then use a pre-trained model for every new task instead of building a fresh one when working with a different geologic feature. The lunar model is the latest addition to IBM’s Prithvi family of open science models, which already spans applications in geospatial analysis, weather and heliophysics. Juan Bernabe-Moreno, director of IBM Research Europe, UK and Ireland, said the new system gives scientists a way to analyze lunar observations at scale and identify patterns that may be difficult to detect when studying individual datasets. “The model gives scientists a foundation to explore the Moon at scale, connecting observations across instruments, revealing patterns that are difficult to see in isolation,” Bernabe-Moreno said. NASA and IBM measured the model against SwinV2-B, a Microsoft-trained vision system widely used as a baseline for image analysis. The new model cut errors by 23% when used in locating ice deposits, and beat SwinV2-B by 19% in finding and classifying craters, even though it trained on half the data. IBM’s technical paper reported a 3% performance improvement when the model was used to identify volcanic features known as Irregular Mare Patches, while also requiring less fine-tuning. The model was put to a live test on August 5, when IBM fed it an image showing the impact site left after a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket struck the Moon. Despite the new impact appearing almost directly over an existing crater, the model correctly identified it as a newly formed crater. The goal remains to make sustained human presence on the Moon possible. Mapping permanently shadowed regions near the lunar poles remains a major challenge because these areas are among the hardest on the Moon to observe and could contain deposits of subsurface ice. IBM said the ice could supply water and oxygen for future lunar bases while also providing raw materials for rocket fuel that could support missions to Mars. The organizations also released what they called the first unified, machine-learning-ready dataset of the Moon. The dataset brings together more than 30 spatially aligned layers collected by nine instruments across four separate lunar missions. This dataset pulls imagery from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and GRAIL gravity mission and adds data from Japan’s SELENE/Kaguya orbiter. Bernabe-Moreno said that the roughly two million co-registered data points might prove to be the lasting contribution over the model itself. “The data is what really creates the industry of AI models,” he stated. The AI model’s release builds on a partnership that dates back more than five decades to the Apollo program.

Kalshi Launches Gold and Silver Trades With New ‘perps’Kalshi has started offering gold and silver perpetual futures to U.S. traders after getting clearance from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The move gives the company another business line outside prediction markets and puts precious metals into the same contract structure already popular with crypto traders. Kalshi filed the request in July. The CFTC, which oversees derivatives markets, approved it this week, and the contracts went live on Thursday through Kalshi’s website. The company entered the perp market through crypto first. Regulators cleared those products in late May, bringing a market that handled about $90 trillion in yearly volume during 2025 into a regulated U.S. venue for the first time. Kalshi says its crypto perps have since reached $44 billion in notional volume, based on figures published on its platform. Kalshi says users can trade markets round the clock Udesh Jha, chief risk officer at Kalshi Klear, the company’s clearing house, said trader demand made metals the next target. “Metals, especially gold and silver, have a story to tell because of inflation,” Udesh said. The event markets at Kalshi were already attracting investments even before the announcement of the launch. The company revealed that the trading volume of its contracts on metals and oil went past $400 million within seven months. The crypto event markets, meanwhile, took double the time to reach the same mark. A perp is similar to a futures contract in the sense that it has no expiration date. The trader does not have to own the asset but just has to trade according to the price fluctuations in the market. Funding payments in regular intervals will help align the perp with the spot price of the asset. Meanwhile, in August, Kalshi filed for approval to introduce perps on U.S. equities, copper and foreign currencies. Gold and silver become the first non-crypto assets that have been cleared by the CFTC to be traded as perps. It also comes at a time when there is competition among the derivatives exchanges. The shares of Cboe Global Markets (NYSE: CBOE) and CME Group (NASDAQ: CME) have dropped due to the regulation by US regulators to allow perpetual futures, since there were fears that it might affect regular futures. CME Group has taken the fight to court. The exchange sued the CFTC and is trying to block U.S. approvals for perps, arguing that the regulator allowed the contracts through an improper process. Udesh said Kalshi believes regulation is a major reason its perp business has grown so quickly. “It all goes back to the regulated platform,” he said. “Doing it the right way, a way with proper risk controls… Unregulated platforms, they have always hit a ceiling.” The post Kalshi launches gold and silver trades with new ‘perps’ first appeared on Coinfea.

Samsung to Build Custom AI Chip As Part of Partnership With OpenAIOpenAI’s partnership with Samsung Electronics on next-generation semiconductors continues to deepen. The South Korean manufacturer has now agreed to produce a custom AI chip for the ChatGPT maker, OpenAI Korea confirmed at a Seoul press conference on Wednesday. The move is expected to draw Samsung deeper into a chip race that has so far been dominated by Nvidia and TSMC. Harrison Kim, General Manager of OpenAI Korea, told reporters that chips were the area where the two firms had achieved the most in their partnership. “One of the areas where we have made the most progress and gained the most recognition with Samsung Electronics is our joint production and research on the next-generation chips we are developing,” Kim said, according to Reuters. The collaboration runs across multiple fronts, including joint chip research, actual chip manufacturing, and a more expansive use of OpenAI’s enterprise software inside Samsung. Samsung and OpenAI reach agreement on chip production OpenAI has not disclosed the chip’s name or its exact purpose, although reports believe it is likely to be an inference processor and a successor to Jalapeno. Jalapeno was OpenAI’s first custom chip, produced by Taiwan’s TSMC and unveiled in June. Developed with Broadcom, the chip is designed to handle inference workloads. Having Samsung lead the next design would give OpenAI a second manufacturing partner, reducing its reliance on a single supplier. Memory seems to be the other half of the deal, with both companies planning to work on advanced memory chips to feed heavier AI workloads, an effort that could be connected to OpenAI’s Stargate data center project. Stargate already involves Samsung’s domestic rival SK Hynix, and both Korean firms already signed letters of intent to supply memory for it last year. Samsung has started shipping samples of its HBM4E high-bandwidth memory, becoming the first supplier to distribute that generation of AI memory. High-bandwidth memory sits inside AI accelerators such as Nvidia’s Rubin and Google’s Ironwood Tensor Processing Unit, and Samsung counts top chipmakers like AMD, Nvidia, and Google as part of its customers. Kim also called Samsung one of the largest ChatGPT deployments anywhere, with staff in Korea and abroad using the AI model across research, marketing, and sales. OpenAI said ChatGPT Enterprise users across South Korean businesses and institutions increased 28-fold by late August, compared to the same month in 2025. Late last year, no country outside the United States had more paying ChatGPT subscribers than South Korea, according to the company. In June, Samsung’s Device eXperience division cleared employees to use ChatGPT alongside Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude.

BitMart Withdrawals Remain Frozen As Adviser Takes OversightBitMart withdrawals remain suspended as the exchange appoints Alvarez & Marsal as financial adviser and prepares to introduce independent operational oversight. The move follows a September 9 deadline BitMart set for updating its restructuring process. Users still cannot access withdrawals, while a proof-of-reserves report promised in May has not been released. BitMart said Alvarez & Marsal will work with its legal advisers to review finances, address stakeholder concerns, and assess options for restoring withdrawals. The firm will also help develop a near-term action plan for the exchange. BitMart Adviser Reviews Finances and Withdrawal Options According to the company, information concerning withdrawals, assets, and future steps must be reviewed by an independent adviser before publication. BitMart said this requirement was a key reason for appointing Alvarez & Marsal. The exchange had earlier selected White & Case as restructuring legal counsel. It also plans to create a feedback website where users can submit views on the action plan. BitMart said the website link will be published within five working days. Within three weeks, the company expects to launch the feedback mechanism and provide details about restructuring. The exchange also plans to appoint an independent third party to supervise its operations and asset custody. BitMart said the measure is intended to protect user interests during the restructuring period. BitMart Restructuring Replaces Earlier Shutdown Plan The latest adviser appointment follows an earlier notice in which BitMart said it was considering restructuring instead of completing the shutdown announced on July 26. Under the proposed restructuring, the exchange may resume parts of its business in phases while distributing assets to creditors. The original closure announcement cited operating conditions, broader market factors, and the company’s strategic direction. BitMart stopped new registrations, deposits, and fresh orders on July 26. Its BMX token then fell about 60% within one day. Trading had initially been scheduled to end on August 26, with full closure planned for January 31, 2027. BitMart Users Await Reserves Report and Access Questions remain around the exchange’s reported reserves. CoinMarketCap data cited in the original report showed BitMart self-reporting about $5.36 million in reserves, largely held in BMX, against daily trading volume near $272.6 million. BitMart promised a proof-of-reserves report on May 23 but has not published it. Founder Sheldon Xia said on August 8 that the exchange had not “run off with funds,” but he provided no financial figures. External pressure has also increased.

Euro Stablecoins Add $156 Million As Dollar Supply Barely ChangesEuro stablecoins reached $848.1 million in supply on September 7, according to Token Terminal data. The total represents growth of about 22.6% from $691.7 million recorded on January 1.  That increase added roughly $156 million in euro-denominated stablecoin supply during the first eight months of 2026. Dollar stablecoins added about $159 million over the same period, rising from $298.54 billion to $298.699 billion.  The two segments therefore added similar absolute amounts despite the dollar market being roughly 350 times larger.  Dollar stablecoins still dominate overall supply with a 99.5% market share, while euro stablecoins account for 0.3%.

Donald Trump Reveals Major Drivers of Crypto ShiftPresident Donald Trump says he entered the crypto space, in part, for political reasons and after noticing the industry’s massive profits. While announcing a new minor savings vehicle called “Trump Accounts” from the Oval Office on Monday, Trump was pressed on whether the program would accommodate Bitcoin. He responded with, “I’ve become a big crypto guy only for one reason: If we don’t have it, China’s going to have it. But now they’re not even trying that hard, because we’ve taken over.” Donald Trump also acknowledged that at first he was not into crypto and knew very little about it, but he changed his mind after witnessing it mature from a niche market into a financial powerhouse. He further admitted that he dipped his toe in the industry a little for political reasons, once he realized there was a huge fanbase for the market. Donald Trump says America has taken over crypto Ideally, his pro-crypto pivot drew strong backing from the crypto lobby, which poured roughly $170 million into the 2024 election and is set to ramp up funding for pro-crypto candidates this November. As earlier reported by Cryptopolitan, the president’s remarks come as his family’s crypto ventures continue to generate enormous financial returns. According to his latest financial disclosure, Trump reported more than $1.4 billion in income from cryptocurrency-related businesses. As of 2025, the bulk of the earnings came from World Liberty Financial and the sale of his $TRUMP meme coin. After Trump’s remarks, cryptocurrency markets reacted positively on Monday. Bitcoin, especially, rebounded after the president embraced the “big crypto guy” label and left the door open for digital assets in his minor investment program. He did not make a definitive promise to include the assets. Bitcoin edged up 0.4% to $63,822, though it remains well below its historic peak of over $126,000 last year. Before those comments, Bitcoin had slipped as much as 2% toward $60,000 following Strategy’s regulatory disclosures. Cryptopolitan reported that the firm liquidated $216 million of its stash, walking back Michael Saylor’s famous “never sell” mantra, throwing off several Bitcoin investors. Trump’s new 503A investment plans, “Trump Accounts,” for kids officially opened over the holiday weekend, handing out $1,000 starter investments to any U.S. child born between January 1, 2025, and the end of 2028. Trump family nets more than $1 billion from crypto ventures The goal is to get kids building wealth early through diversified exchange-traded funds. The US president’s remarks clearly explain his change of heart, a total 180 from his first term, when he famously trashed Bitcoin as a scam. In the years since, the Trump family has established significant commercial ties to the cryptocurrency sector, drawing intense scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest regarding his pro-crypto policies. Critics have also wasted no time in slamming Trump after June 30 disclosures showed his family earned over $1.4 billion last year from crypto ventures. Data published by The New York Times on Sunday indicated that while nearly one million $TRUMP meme coin investors lost a staggering $3.81 billion, Trump personally captured upwards of $600 million from the market. Additionally, he earned $800 million in 2025 from World Liberty Financial, a crypto platform he co-founded with his family. Senator Elizabeth Warren has called him out for “brazen crypto corruption.” Illinois Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, who is running for the Senate, also posted more recently that the president’s “infinite greed is disgusting.” The president, however, has said his interest in crypto is “not a question of a personal thing.” He even said he doesn’t talk to his family about their involvement in crypto. Speaking about his children, he said, “I don’t talk to them, ever, talk to them about it.” The post Donald Trump reveals major drivers of crypto shift first appeared on Coinfea.

Shinhan Analyst Advises Korean Investors to Include BTC in Their PortfolioA top analyst at Shinhan Investment & Securities has reportedly asked Korean investors to rethink the old 60/40 stock-and-bond split. Park Woo-yeol, a senior analyst, now recommends a 60% stocks, 30% bonds, 8% gold, and 2% bitcoin portfolio, saying the standard 60/40 stock-and-bond portfolio has stopped doing its job. Park Woo-yeol, a senior analyst at Shinhan Investment & Securities, has laid out a 60% stocks, 30% bonds, 8% gold and 2% bitcoin mix, and asked Korean investors to ditch the current 60/40 stock and bond split for it. Park argued at the Korea Exchange in Seoul that the traditional portfolio is broken. For years, a 60/40 portfolio worked because when stock prices dropped, bonds usually went up, cushioning the blow, but now, stocks and bonds often fall together, meaning bonds no longer provide the safety net they once did. Shinhan analyst urges Koreans to include BTC in their portfolio To find a solution, Park’s team at Shinhan Securities tested dividing a 10% slice of the portfolio between gold and Bitcoin. They found that an 8% gold and 2% Bitcoin split offered the best balance of risk and reward. The company has been tracking this model portfolio since the start of the year. Meanwhile, Park has pointed out that traditional and crypto exchanges are now competing. For example, NASDAQ plans to launch 23-hour trading starting December 6, 2026, which would make U.S. stocks more accessible. At the same time, Korean investors are already using crypto exchanges to trade stock-like products. Korean investors can already trade stock- and ETF-style products on crypto exchanges, including leveraged funds such as SOXL and KORU, and those platforms run around the clock and through weekends. The Shinhan analyst also mentioned the fact that traditional firms are responding by buying crypto exchanges, with Mirae Asset Group as an example. Cryptopolitan previously reported that South Korea’s Financial Services Commission published a three-stage roadmap to tokenize conventional securities. The first phase of the plan involves the amended securities law taking effect on February 4, 2027. That phase will allow for the tokenization of assets like corporate bonds and money-market funds for institutions. In later stages, the plan is to expand to all public securities and eventually use stablecoins for on-chain settlements. This regulatory clarity is important for major financial firms. For instance, Hanwha Investment & Securities has already built a tokenized securities platform on the Avalanche blockchain and holds a stake in the tokenization firm Securitize. Matthew Dawson, co-founder of the nonprofit Ethereum Institutional, called the moment one of “regulatory clarity” coming to meet Korean institutions. Meanwhile, retail activity is already booming again after Korea’s four largest exchanges lost a combined $364 million in the first half of the year. Upbit, South Korea’s largest crypto exchange run by Dunamu, processed about $1.04 billion in spot trading volume in just 24 hours recently. This sudden increase follows a sharp recovery in bitcoin’s price, which pushed past $80,000 in late August for the first time since mid-May.

Mistral AI Raises €3 Billion As ASML Expands European AI Chip PartnershipsMistral AI secured €3 billion, or $3.5 billion, in Series D funding on September 8, lifting the French company’s valuation above €21 billion in Europe’s largest technology fundraising round. Samsung Electronics led the financing, joined by Scaleup Europe Fund, PSG Equity, Advent, a16z, NVIDIA, Bpifrance, Index Ventures, previous shareholders, BlackRock-managed funds, and Luxembourg. EQT managed the round. Mistral AI Lands Record European Funding Founded three years ago in Paris, Mistral has doubled its valuation within a year and serves more than 125 enterprise customers across 20 countries, including Airbus, ASML, and HSBC. “This round means we can move faster on R&D, products, infrastructure and keep giving organisations the ability to run AI at scale, on their own terms,” chief executive and co-founder Arthur Mensch said in a statement carried by France 24. Mensch said “Organisations want to industrialise AI inside systems that are already complex,” while working with their own data, tools, and compliance requirements. Mistral Promotes Sovereign AI Strategy Mistral presents its sovereign AI approach as allowing customers to keep data internally, customise models, use private compute, and audit production systems. Chief financial officer Johan Bergqvist told AFP that enterprise competition does not depend on company size alone. He described Mistral as “more of a mix of Palantir and Anthropic when it comes to what we can offer” and said “our need for capital is not as vast as some of those competitors.” France has selected Mistral models for a civil service tool. A domestic supplier replaced Palantir systems used by French intelligence services in June. Mistral also signed a July compute agreement with Microsoft for its first French data center. ASML Strengthens European Chip Partnerships ASML, Europe’s most valuable company and leader of Mistral’s earlier Series C, expanded High NA EUV partnerships with Samsung and TSMC, strengthening Europe’s advanced chip base. Samsung said it plans to become the first company to use ASML’s High NA machines for DRAM production, targeting 2028. High NA increases numerical aperture from 0.33 to 0.55, enabling finer patterns and smaller components. Samsung also joined an ASML-led consortium seeking to move photomask standards from 6 inches to 12 inches. ASML and TSMC announced the same push a day earlier, targeting a pilot line by 2031 and advanced-node production by 2033. TSMC plans High NA high-volume manufacturing from 2030. The announcements came as Europe remained behind the United States and China in AI scale. The World Economic Forum said Europe had produced three foundation models, compared with 40 in the United States and 15 in China, while US hyperscalers controlled nearly 70% of Europe’s cloud market. Together, the funding and chip agreements highlighted Europe’s effort to expand AI models, semiconductor capacity, compute, and infrastructure.

OpenAI Files Incident Report Over Hijacked German WikiOpenAI has sent the European Commission an incident report about the horde of AI agents that took over a German-language wiki and ran it as a private messaging channel, a Commission spokesperson confirmed on Monday. Thomas Regnier, the Commission’s digital spokesman, told reporters the report had arrived at the Commission. “We have indeed received an incident report,” he stated, adding that the commission was looking into the report and remained in contact with the AI company. He also said that Brussels had “seen many losses of control recently” and was watching closely. Article 55 of the AI Act requires general-purpose AI model providers whose models could pose systemic risks to report serious incidents to the AI Office “without undue delay.” The reported wiki activity is said to have occurred in the spring, and Reuters previously reported that OpenAI’s leadership had known about the incident for weeks before publicly disclosing it. European Commission receives incident report from OpenAI DseWiki, the website that was hijacked by OpenAI agents, is a volunteer-run, Wikipedia-style site for German-speaking programmers. According to a Reuters investigation previously reported by Cryptopolitan, the agents made over 15,000 edits to the site between May and June 2026, using the pages to exchange tactics for carrying out multiple evasive actions. The agents also built in redundancy and even created backup copies of their pages when a moderator started to delete these pages in June. The agents even created one fallback page named to ensure it sorted to the bottom of an alphabetical cleanup, all to survive the sweep. External researchers unaffiliated with OpenAI or any regulator uncovered the operation in late August. Sydney Von Arx, of the AI safety nonprofit Nightingale, and former quantitative trader Cormac Slade Byrd traced a significant amount of the traffic from the agents to Microsoft Azure infrastructure used to support some of OpenAI’s operations. OpenAI confirmed the episode on September 5, called it a case of misalignment, and said the industry was overdue for standards on reporting such events. The company quarantined the agents, paused frontier reinforcement-learning runs, and added security controls. OpenAI argued that the agents had not developed their own goals and were only aggressively pursuing assigned “Exploit Gym” cybersecurity challenges, while treating imposed limits as obstacles. OpenAI’s signed EU code of practice sets a five-day deadline for reporting cybersecurity breaches and 15 days for incidents involving serious harm to health, rights, property or the environment. Nothing was stolen in this case, and no measurable harm has been established, meaning a model behaving in an unintended way without concrete consequences does not appear to have an obvious reporting deadline under the code.

Hunter Biden Set to Launch LAPTOP Meme CoinHunter Biden is part of the founding team behind a new meme coin called LAPTOP, set to go live on the Coinbase-built Base network on Sept. 9 with one billion tokens. A portion of the supply is reportedly reserved for traders who lost money on President Donald Trump’s TRUMP coin. The LAPTOP team, which Hunter Biden is a part of, has pledged that out of its one billion supply, 20% is earmarked for two airdrop rounds. Notably, the LAPTOP name references the laptop saga that dogged Biden through the 2020 campaign. Individuals who took a loss on TRUMP are eligible for the drop, but so are Substack subscribers of Biden, his friends, and people on a mailing list kept by video journalist Andrew Callaghan. Nansen data reported by TechCrunch in July found that 988,905 wallets, roughly two in three TRUMP buyers, were down a combined $3.81 billion by the end of June. Hunter Biden announces airdrop for TRUMP losers TRUMP debuted three days before Trump’s January 2025 inauguration, spiked toward $75, then crashed rapidly. The president, for his part, disclosed $636 million tied to the coin and at least $1.4 billion in crypto income for 2025. Beyond the 20% allocated for airdrops, the founding team takes 30% of the supply, which they will hold for six months and then release gradually over a two-year period. Another 20% has been set aside for charity, liquidity, exchange partners, and market makers. Other parts of the airdrop will cover the accounting, legal, and compliance costs of running the token foundation. The plan for LAPTOP has a strange provision that allows up to 30% of its supply to be destroyed permanently. This burning feature depends on 30 preset events that each carry a deadline. Triggers include Bitcoin printing a fresh all-time high, LAPTOP’s fully diluted valuation climbing past TRUMP’s, and a Democratic win in the 2028 presidential election. However, tokens tied to conditions that never happen will get donated to charity rather than burned. Political meme coins have recorded sharp price swings following Trump-family announcements. For instance, TRUMP lost about 55% of its value within minutes of the MELENIA token announcement in January 2025. Before the launch of LAPTOP, Biden spent months talking about crypto in public. On a revived X account, he called fiat “a sham” and the banking class “corrupt,” writing that “decentralized digital currency and the blockchain are the inevitable future.” In an interview with Candace Owens, he said he believed in “the meme token” and would “create a community” one day. Meanwhile, the advocacy group Public Citizen estimated in late August that investors have lost at least $4.7 billion across five Trump ventures. This figure includes $3.2 billion in losses on TRUMP and about $1 billion in losses tied to World Liberty Financial. Warren and Senator Richard Blumenthal wrote to SEC Chair Paul Atkins on Aug. 4, urging an investigation into whether TRUMP “facilitated any illegal fraud or unjust enrichment.” The post Hunter Biden set to launch LAPTOP meme coin first appeared on Coinfea.

FinCEN Ties $12B in Crypto Scam Funds to Fraud Groups OverseasThe Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a division of the US Treasury, has identified about $12.7 billion in financial activity reported by US institutions linked to suspected digital-asset investment scams. FinCEN says that these scams are typically operated by transnational organized crime groups based in Southeast Asia. As released in the FinCEN Financial Trend Analysis and an accompanying alert to financial institutions on September 3, 2026, this discovery increases the burden on exchanges, stablecoin issuers, and regulators, as fraudulently obtained funds are still transferred through the same channels used by legal customers. FinCEN has advised banks and cryptocurrency companies to be vigilant about the signs of scam operations and to provide information on scams on a voluntary basis according to Section 314(b) of the USA PATRIOT Act. However, it is quite difficult to tighten cross-border controls without hindering legitimate cryptocurrency activity. FinCEN traces reported funds to criminal groups overseas The figure of $12.7 billion relates to 33,904 reports submitted under the Bank Secrecy Act in the period between September 8, 2023 and December 31, 2025. The majority of these reports were made by money services businesses that were largely dependent on the digital assets industry, and depository institutions accounted for as much as 96% of all reports. FinCEN has pointed out that the total doesn’t represent confirmed losses by victims. The overall data may consist of cases involving attempts to conduct these transactions, multiple reporting, transfers in both directions, as well as amendments made to some reports submitted earlier. The volume of reports filed increased by an average of 10.9% compared to the previous month, while the amount of money reported grew by approximately 18%. The number of victims is known across all 50 states plus some of the US territories. FinCEN has made it clear that the rise in reporting can be attributed to the expansion of the vocabulary that is used to announce the alerts, which should not be taken as an indication of the growth in scam activities. “Digital asset investment scams pose one of the most significant fraud threats facing Americans today.” The organizations behind them “exploit both emerging technologies and human vulnerabilities.” — Gene Lange, performing the duties of Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence. Criminal groups outsource operations on marketplaces The alert from FinCEN provides an insight into a completely outsourced criminal system. The criminals operate through “guarantee marketplaces” to avail services ranging from account creation and phishing to money laundering. Professional money laundering service providers set up shell companies and mule accounts that allow for funds to be moved illegally through the financial system, including using stablecoins for transfers to exchanges outside the United States. This trend can also be supported through reports from other regulatory organizations. For instance, the FATF report released in March regarding the usage of stablecoins and unhosted wallets mentioned that stablecoins accounted for the overwhelming 84% of illegal transactions related to virtual assets in 2025, citing Chainalysis. FATF also elaborated on the usage of unhosted wallets and sophisticated methods of laundering that are used to cover up the origin of funds. The September 3 FATF report on underground banking and the hawala system also recorded the emergence of “digital hawala” where the operators communicate through encrypted messaging applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal and settle accounts by means of virtual assets including stablecoins. According to an assessment from UNODC in July, crime syndicates in Southeast Asia are part of a growing service-based economy in which fraud, trafficking, and money laundering share the same infrastructure. However, as shown by the FATF report from March that looks into offshore virtual assets service providers, the more pressing issue is that jurisdictions have unequal oversight, which criminals can exploit. According to FinCEN, its Rapid Response Program allows FinCEN to work with foreign financial intelligence units to identify and recover fraudulent transactions, but people are still advised to report their cases to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) quickly. The main question here is how effective and fast such cooperation is while criminals use money laundering services more frequently.

Minnesota Granted Approval to Enforce AI ‘nudification’ Ban Amid XAI ObjectionMinnesota has seen its ban on AI tools that can transform photos of real people into nude images and media upheld by a federal court, rejecting a bid by Elon Musk’s xAI to halt the statute while the company’s free-speech challenge plays out. The decision allows regulators to commence the fines of up to $500,000 per image right away. U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank denied xAI’s request for a preliminary injunction, an order that would have suspended the law till the end of the lawsuit. Judge Donovan considered what he called the “balance of harms,” and found that “public interest tips steeply in favor of the State,” according to the memorandum quoted by CBS Minnesota. The judge described a “civil statute aimed at protecting the public from the undisputed harm stemming from AI-nudification technology,” and said the statute was passed “democratically and nearly unanimously.” Minnesota to levy fines on every offense He was candid that the underlying First Amendment questions were, however, still complex, because of the context of a new technology, believing the case would be settled as it moves forward. For now, though, the ban remains upheld. Minnesota’s legislature approved the bill this spring, and the governor appended his signature.

Minnesota Granted Approval to Enforce AI ‘nudification’ Ban Amid XAI Objection

Minnesota has seen its ban on AI tools that can transform photos of real people into nude images and media upheld by a federal court, rejecting a bid by Elon Musk’s xAI to halt the statute while the company’s free-speech challenge plays out. The decision allows regulators to commence the fines of up to $500,000 per image right away.
U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank denied xAI’s request for a preliminary injunction, an order that would have suspended the law till the end of the lawsuit. Judge Donovan considered what he called the “balance of harms,” and found that “public interest tips steeply in favor of the State,” according to the memorandum quoted by CBS Minnesota. The judge described a “civil statute aimed at protecting the public from the undisputed harm stemming from AI-nudification technology,” and said the statute was passed “democratically and nearly unanimously.”
Minnesota to levy fines on every offense
He was candid that the underlying First Amendment questions were, however, still complex, because of the context of a new technology, believing the case would be settled as it moves forward. For now, though, the ban remains upheld. Minnesota’s legislature approved the bill this spring, and the governor appended his signature. However, xAI did not sue until July 27, which was about three months later and days before the August 1 start date.
The AI company sought a temporary restraining order on July 29, which Judge Frank turned down on July 31.

Trezor Accuses ShipMonk of Withholding Data It Promised to DeleteIn an update issued on Friday, Trezor revealed that the data leak from its shipping partner, ShipMonk, was worse than previously believed. Specifically, the personal information, which includes names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and order data, of another 67,000 users in the U.S. had been exposed. Presently, the total number of users whose data may have been compromised is 80,700. This makes holders of Trezor wallets at risk. The new batch of data involves orders placed by U.S. customers between November 2019 and August 2021, as Trezor wrote in the post on X made on Friday. Notably, some of that information is nearly seven years old. That is relevant because back in August, when Trezor announced the data leak, the 90-day data deletion policy implemented by its fulfillment partner was credited with limiting the number of impacted users. Trezor highlights impact of the data exposure The company explained that it had asked ShipMonk multiple times to provide documentation showing that the order data older than 90 days was deleted. Every time, the company received positive answers to those requests. Now, Trezor expressed disappointment about the fact that those documents turned out to be incorrect. According to reports, Trezor placed the blame squarely on the shipping provider for keeping data it had promised to delete. The new figures eclipse the old by a great deal. Back in August, Trezor estimated exposure to the breach to 14,000 people. However, ShipMonk reported findings to Trezor two days prior to its disclosure on Friday. That brings the tally up to around 80,700 users. Trezor clarified that its systems have not been compromised; no devices, private keys, or wallet backups were exposed, as the breach was conducted purely from the logistics end. Information, such as customer contact details and shipping, was compromised. The danger here lies in targeting. The leak of a mailing list with verified owners of hardware wallets, including the addresses where crypto users reside, lets hackers target those exact people for phishing attempts via email, phone calls, and even snail mail. Trezor advised the affected users to be wary of such attempts and also highlighted the threat to personal safety. The threat is very real. In February, owners of Trezor and Ledger wallets received forged letters printed with holograms, QR codes, and even fake signatures of executives urging them to perform a fake security test or be locked out of their accounts. As noted by cybersecurity expert David Sehyeon Baek, a forged letter delivered with a real name and address changes the psychology of the scam. An impersonation scam does not necessarily require an exploit to steal from a user’s wallet. In fact, it is such scams that are already dominating cryptocurrency loss figures. Blockchain cybersecurity firm Hacken found that phishing and social engineering scams made up $306 million of the $482 million total amount stolen within the first quarter of the year. One investor nearly lost $1 million by confirming a malicious token transaction on Ethereum in July. Moreover, this is not the first time Trezor has faced a breach involving exposed user contact details. In January 2024, the company revealed that around 66,000 customers who have contacted its support team since December 2021 were exposed to phishing scams.

ByteDance Secures $27 Billion Loan for AI Data CentersByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, has secured the second-largest dollar loan deal in Asia this year with a $29.6 billion syndicated loan, and the proceeds have been set aside for the data centers supporting the company’s expensive move into AI. Banks wanted to support way more of this loan than ByteDance initially set out to raise. With the latest development, it pushes the company past its $20 billion target to about $30 billion. Citigroup and JPMorgan coordinated the loan deal, which carries a three-year term and an option to run to five years. The deal is still not finalized, with banks still confirming their allocations. ByteDance pulled in roughly $10.8 billion from about 20 lenders in 2024, in the largest dollar corporate loan in Asia outside Japan at the time. As recently as June, the company was in early talks over a record $20 billion loan facility, with the final numbers surpassing that mark by almost half. ByteDance to focus loan on its AI venture The only Asian borrower that has raised more from a loan facility in 2026 is Softbank. The investment company arranged a $40 billion bridge facility in March to back its OpenAI stake. The two deals are different, however, with SoftBank’s being a bridge against an equity position and set to be repaid once longer-term financing comes in, while ByteDance is borrowing against a business that already throws off cash. Banks are effectively treating TikTok and Douyin revenue as the security behind the ByteDance loan. The stated purpose for this borrowing is general corporate purposes, which for ByteDance right now means compute, and a lot of it. The company is looking at capital spending of as much as $70 billion a year on AI infrastructure, a level that would place it alongside the American hyperscalers. The budget stretches even further than the number suggests, because it costs more than regular. US export controls cap ByteDance’s access to Nvidia’s top chips, so the AI expansion leans on custom silicon using Arm and RISC-V designs, Qualcomm inference parts, and domestic Chinese suppliers. Assembling the same amount of compute that way becomes more expensive in the long run, with part of the spend still flowing to a rival. ByteDance pays more than $1 billion a year to run OpenAI’s models through Microsoft Azure while it funds the homegrown hardware meant to end that reliance. The company is said to be training a ten-trillion-parameter model and enlarging its data center cluster all within Inner Mongolia, which is a scale of development pure operating cash flow alone cannot cover. The $70 billion capex plan sits right against the 160 billion yuan ($22.7 billion) that ByteDance had earlier claimed to budget for 2026, and accounts differ on whether the larger number is a firm decision or a scenario still under review. The company has not addressed these figures publicly, as it stays privately held, files no financial statements, and reveals its capital spending mainly through the banks that handle its funds. Big Tech’s AI-related debt has now passed $350 billion as firms fund data centers with borrowed money instead of their own earnings, and a deal this size moves a large chunk of that borrowing outside the U.S. The post ByteDance secures $27 billion loan for AI data centers first appeared on Coinfea.
