BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has revealed the math formulas that would underpin his proposed AI trading contracts. His Flop Reference Compute Rate would be priced in $FLOP, and in his view, could become the "global benchmark." @CryptoHayes @flop_labs @Liqquidity

My piece for @deainewsjournal - You can't have a conversation about crypto security in 2026 without AI entering into that very quickly... even if the actual story is still developing and the facts behind a big heist like this are still unclear
No one knows yet if AI had a hand in the $6B @binance hack. Everyone's talking about AI anyway. @chainalysis flagged laundering that looks automated, and @elonmusk says superintelligent agents will someday do this for themselves. Check out our story on DeAI News 👇

The Anthropic S1 contains the following warning about AI being coopted by authoritarian regimes – a factor commonly cited as one of the rationales for moving to decentralized AI. (Pls see our story in @deainewsjournal mentioning this linked in reply.)

Fascinating to see a big VC player like this coming around to the DeAI beat we've been covering for a year and talking about in our first few episodes of @deainewsjournal podcast (and building toward at @distromediatech )
A16z's pivot away from just-crypto to crypto-plus-AI-and-a-lot-of-other things sounds a lot like a move to embrace decentralized AI (DeAI), @liqquidity reports for DeAI News. @cdixon @a16zcrypto

AI can help write the story. But should it get to decide which words make the cut? As AI companies explore text watermarking, journalists face a new threat to their creative independence. In our latest opinion piece, Brad Keoun @Liqquidity, makes the case for ditching closed AI platforms. theindex.site/for-journalist…

An “AI worm” could turn smart TV boxes, ovens and vacuums into an improvised computing network. The warning follows experiments by researchers from the @AnthropicAI frontier red team. apologies to @willzhou97 and @bucketofkets for our story illustration on DeAI News... 👇😅

DATA Network, the a16z-backed project formerly called Story Protocol, is abandoning its own blockchain to move onto Sui, with a fresh $30 million injection. Sui's Walrus storage will become the default layer for DATA's rights-cleared AI training data.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin warned that AI-accelerated math research could expose weaknesses in cryptography like ECDSA before quantum computers mature, though he cautioned against rushed fund migrations. Justin Drake separately urged holders to prepare for "bunker mode."

The @soneium blockchain, backed by @Sony, is throwing its support behind an Ethereum standard that wojuld let AI agents find creative works, check licensing terms and record agreements on-chain in one transaction. Check out the story on DeAI News 👇
