The plan has drawn particular concern from the public, who warn of broader consequences for anonymous communication online.
Anthropic’s new AI tools shook software and tech stocks, sparking a market selloff as investors reconsider the impact of automation.
When Vitalik scolds his L2 children, Arbitrum, Optimism and Base reply: "Papa Ethereum is aging, but we remain indispensable!" A technical... and existential dispute.
In 2026, family offices massively bet on AI, leaving crypto behind. With 89% of them having no exposure to digital assets, the gap widens. Why such an imbalance? What are the risks and opportunities for investors?
Vitalik Buterin turns a page in Ethereum's history. In a published post, the protocol's cofounder calls into question the strategic vision of Layer 2, long considered the key to the network's scalability. For him, the rollup-centric model no longer delivers on its promises. As Ethereum continues its transformation, Buterin calls for a profound rethinking of the role of second-layer solutions. This stance could well redefine the future of the ecosystem.
When Elon Musk's AI imagines itself as a scandal artist, French justice arrives. Grok draws too well... and especially where it shouldn't.
BitRiver founder Igor Runets is under house arrest as the company struggles with debt and operational challenges.
Tether launches an open-source system for bitcoin mining, marking a major breakthrough in the global crypto infrastructure.
SpaceX has acquired xAI, bringing together two of Elon Musk’s most ambitious private companies. The deal links rocket launch services with artificial intelligence development at a time when computing demands are rising rapidly. Musk framed the move as a response to the limits of Earth-based infrastructure. Questions now follow about cost, strategy, and the long-term value for both businesses.
Assaults, kidnappings, mutilations… Crypto theft turns physical in Europe. Discover the key figures in this article.
Amazon is in talks to take up to 50 billion dollars in OpenAI’s 100 billion dollar funding round, aiming to deepen its involvement in artificial intelligence.
OpenAI would consider creating a social network where registration would require proof of humanity, via World ID and its “Orbs” for eye scan. The idea, reported by several media outlets, is simple on paper: to cut the ground from under the bots and armies of fake accounts, which have become a permanent background noise on X, Instagram or TikTok.
Crypto: a forgotten Ethereum hack becomes a secret weapon against cyber threats. We bring you all the details in this article.
AI data centers nibble away at electricity and the patience of local residents: the same recipe as with bitcoin, but wrapped in a well-oiled progress discourse.
Is the crypto era coming to an end? Capital seems to be massively migrating towards AI and robotics. What the data says.
The European Union has just made a big move: Google must open Android to competing AI tools under threat of colossal sanctions. A decision that could revolutionize the tech market, boost innovation, and redefine the balance of power. What impacts will it have on users, businesses, and AI-related cryptos?
A new academic paper warns that influence campaigns powered by autonomous AI agents may soon become far harder to detect and stop. Instead of obvious bot networks, future operations could rely on systems that behave like real users and adjust their actions over time. Researchers say this shift poses serious risks to public debate and platform governance.
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has issued a stark warning about the future of work as artificial intelligence spreads across industries. He argues that rapid AI adoption will erase millions of jobs worldwide. Against that backdrop, Zhao believes cryptocurrencies can serve as financial protection for those who prepare early.
A boastful hacker, a dubious federal contract, and millions in crypto gone: when family cyber-arrogance turns Washington into the stage for a burlesque digital burglary.
XRP Ledger continues to show strong on-chain activity while Ripple leadership outlines where the crypto market may head next. New network data points to steady usage, low costs, and large transaction volumes. At the same time, Ripple executives are setting expectations for how institutions may engage with crypto in the coming years.
In a network where every line of code can become a manifesto, the slightest technical signal takes on the appearance of a political declaration. BIP 110, supported by a growing fraction of Bitcoin nodes, illustrates this internal tension. Behind this seemingly minor proposal lies a clear intention: to tighten control over data insertion into the blockchain and defend a stricter vision of the protocol.
While quantum computers sharpen their circuits, Ethereum brings out the heavy artillery: cryptographers, millions, and devnets. The blockchain wants to last a hundred years, even if it ages before us.
Ethereum is rejoicing, its counters are exploding! Except that 80% of the activity might be clever spam. Progress? Or just hackers who learned how to do sales?
BlackRock’s 2026 Thematic Outlook positions Ethereum as core financial infrastructure rather than a speculative asset. The report frames the network as a potential “toll road” for tokenized assets—capturing value through issuance, settlement, and transaction fees as real-world assets move onchain. For investors, the central question is whether growth in tokenization activity can translate into durable economic demand for ETH.
Coinbase is forming an expert panel to tackle future quantum threats and strengthen blockchain security before the technology becomes a real risk.
The security of crypto data falters once again. The French platform Waltio, specializing in tax declarations, was the victim of a massive leak of sensitive information. In response, an investigation was opened by the French authorities, mobilizing the National Gendarmerie. This incident rekindles concerns about the vulnerability of services related to cryptos, including those outside the blockchain. As the use of tax tools becomes widespread, users' trust is severely tested.
At the Devconnect conference in Buenos Aires, Ethereum's co-founder issued an unprecedented warning: the elliptic curves securing Bitcoin and Ethereum 'are going to die.' With a 20% probability that quantum computers could break current cryptography before 2030, the crypto industry has less than four years to migrate to quantum-resistant systems.
At Davos 2026, AI establishes itself as the new playground for private equity giants. OpenAI and Anthropic show record valuations, fueled by investors' FOMO. But could this frenzy overshadow interest in crypto and bitcoin?
Saga, a Layer-1 blockchain protocol, has paused its Ethereum-compatible SagaEVM chainlet after a $7 million exploit triggered unauthorized fund transfers. The attack involved assets being bridged out of the network and swapped into Ether. Although the affected chainlet remains offline, Saga says the broader network continues to operate normally.
