The AI Expo Europe 2026 program includes 63 sessions in Bucharest on November 1 and 2. Cointribune has reviewed the agenda, biographies, and the organizer's announcements.

The rise of artificial intelligence raises questions about investments, public debt, and financial markets. For Arthur Hayes, chief investment officer at Maelstrom, the bursting of this bubble could benefit bitcoin. According to him, the bailout plans for the affected companies would increase the money supply and favor safe-haven assets. However, this bullish outlook faces several obstacles, including risks linked to quantum computers and capital outflows from US spot ETFs.

Claude just solved in less than 30 minutes a cryptographic puzzle that had been lingering for about 25 years. Anthropic's AI model found the origin of five numbers provided by the NSA for certain elliptic curves standardized by NIST in 2000. Long suspected of possibly hiding a backdoor, they ultimately came from an old pseudo-random generator fed by timestamps from 1997 and 1998.

Artificial intelligence agents have made more than 138 million payments via the x402 protocol on Base, according to a Chainalysis study published on October 14. However, this figure measures the number of transactions, not 138 million dollars: more than 87% of the analyzed operations are worth less than ten cents.

A listening device hidden in OpenAI's premises by an employee was detected and then identified thanks to the company's AI models. The suspect is in the hands of justice.

Taking a photo of your bank card to let an AI do your shopping? That's Elon Musk's crazy suggestion on X. Between the panic of security experts and a wave of hilarious memes, the web is completely amazed. Pure madness or misunderstood genius this Musk?

Anthropic targets a mid-October roadshow on Nasdaq, according to Reuters, and OpenAI has postponed its listing to 2027 via Sam Altman. Neither stock is yet purchasable. In Europe, only one regulated channel currently allows you to take a position on their valuation: the pre-IPO X-Perps contracts launched by OKX on September 10. Here is what they allow, what they don’t, and how to access them from France.

Binance will gradually launch Binance AI Pro in the second half of October 2026. This agent will convert instructions written in everyday language into automated strategies, but each user must approve their execution and manually fund a dedicated sub-account.

World Summit AI brings together on October 7 and 8, 2026, near Amsterdam, nearly 10,000 participants and 300 speakers expected, according to the organizer. The published program includes no sessions dedicated to crypto, but it gives a large place to AI agents, software capable of acting alone, which payment networks are already preparing to settle in stablecoins. Cointribune explains what a crypto reader can learn there, who speaks, and how much the ticket costs.

OpenAI is already preparing a new massive financial operation. The company is reportedly looking to raise at least $30 billion from investors, with a target valuation close to $1.4 trillion. This amount mainly shows how costly the AI race has become. Between data centers, chips, and computing power, financial needs continue to explode.

World Summit AI returns to Amsterdam on October 7 and 8, 2026 for its tenth edition, at Taets Art and Event Park. The summit annually brings together companies, major tech groups, researchers, investors, and public decision-makers around artificial intelligence. Cointribune is a media partner for the 2026 edition and provides a discount code for its community.

As it approaches its stock market debut, Anthropic delivers an unusual warning. In its prospectus, the Claude designer thinks that advanced AIs could pose "catastrophic or existential risks to humanity".

AI giants DeepSeek and Kimi are under Beijing's scrutiny following accusations of query transfers to Claude. The case reignites concerns about data and digital sovereignty.

Europe was not lacking in conferences on artificial intelligence. What it lacked, according to the organizers of the AI Summit Barcelona, was a place where the people building AI come with what they have already done, not what they promise to do. On September 22 and 23, 2026, the World Trade Center in Barcelona, on the waterfront, hosts the second edition of this summit which aims to be the European stage of applied AI. And the scale jump is spectacular: about 1,500 participants last year, more than 10,000 expected this year.

OpenAI will not go public in 2026. Sam Altman confirms it, security reasons oblige. But behind this virtuous discourse, Trump's ex-IA and crypto Czar, David Sacks, smells a cartel disguised as virtue. Meanwhile, the AI crypto market does not pause.

Terence Tao sounds the alarm: AI outpaces theorists. Real threat or scientific revolution? Read our analysis.

Postponed to mid-October, Anthropic's IPO could become the biggest test in history for AI valuations. The details!

ByteDance has just closed a syndicated loan of 29.6 billion dollars. It is the second largest dollar transaction completed in Asia this year. For TikTok's parent company, the goal is clear: to finance its expansion in AI without relying solely on its profits.

OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra on September 3, 2026, its first model classified as "Critical" in cybersecurity: according to the company, it discovers unknown vulnerabilities and writes the corresponding exploit without human guidance at each step. Its president Greg Brockman sees a possible milestone towards general artificial intelligence. For crypto, the stake is not theoretical, and it is already quantified. As early as February 2026, the EVMbench benchmark, published by OpenAI with Paradigm and OtterSec, measured this capability on smart contracts: the best agent exploited 72.2% of the tested vulnerabilities.

One week after the European Blockchain Convention, Barcelona returns to the technology scene. The AI Summit Barcelona takes place on September 22 and 23, 2026 at the World Trade Center, on the port. Only the second edition, but an immense ambition: to go from 1,500 participants last year to more than 10,000 this year, with NVIDIA, Google, Microsoft, and Anthropic featured. Here's what to remember, and the code reserved for the Cointribune community.

Before the end of this year, Sam Altman announces that OpenAI will have an internal system which he will designate as general artificial intelligence. However, the leader admits that the company has not yet crossed this stage. This projection is mainly based on Astra, a new family of models capable of performing research tasks over several days. However, no autonomous test can certify that OpenAI is really on the threshold of AGI.

A possible sale of Hugging Face raises questions about the value of platforms that structure the open source ecosystem again. According to Business Insider, the company has reportedly hired a bank to probe buyers, with a potential valuation of 13 billion dollars or even more. No agreement exists yet and the buyers remain unknown. This hypothesis comes a few weeks after an intrusion related to an OpenAI AI agent, adding a new issue to this file already followed by global investors.

Bitcoin surpasses $80,000, its highest level since mid-May. Complete breakdown and analysis of scenarios to watch.

Peter Schiff believes that artificial intelligence threatens bitcoin by capturing capital, electricity, and data centers.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the priorities of major technology groups. In China, Alibaba is preparing a new step with a $10 billion fundraising round. This operation now takes place as technology investments are sharply reducing profits and cash flows. The group is therefore looking for new ways to support its expansion while accelerating its technological capabilities.

The Canadian hardware wallet is evolving its security after a theft exceeding $114 million. Coldcard releases a new corrected firmware version after an analysis conducted with several AI models. This study was not limited to the initial random number generator. It also examined transactions, USB exchanges, and updates. Affected users must, however, renew their main keys before any fund transfers.
