However, with the growth in network difficulty and the advent of specialised equipment, digital gold mining has come under the control of large industrial operators with access to cheap electricity. Thorn suggested that AI might follow a different scenario. According to him, open models will gradually catch up in performance with closed ones, becoming more compact and affordable. Then, artificial intelligence will operate directly on the user's device rather than in cloud clusters. Edge AI Deploying artificial intelligence models on local devices is known as Edge AI. According to Grand View Research, by the end of 2025, the volume of this sector reached $24.9 billion. Experts predict that this year the figure will grow to $29.9 billion, and by 2033 it will exceed $118 billion. Source: Grand View Research. The market is actively developing due to the proliferation of IoT technologies, according to the analysts' report. This creates a steady demand for real-time data processing and stimulates the implementation of AI automation across various industries. There is also increasing attention to data privacy and edge computing technologies. Back in late March, CoinShares analysts recorded the capitulation of 20% of bitcoin miners. The decline in industry revenues amid market challenges is forcing miners to increasingly adapt to the needs of AI.

Justin Sun 👨‍🚀 🌞 (@justinsuntron) April 12, 2026 The entrepreneur accused the project of opaque management. According to him, the WLFI team unilaterally freezes, restricts, and confiscates the property rights of any token holder "without warning, without explanation, and without the possibility of appeal." "I was never informed, nor was any other investor, that World Liberty embedded a blacklist function in the WLFI token smart contract. This is the opposite of decentralization. It's a trap disguised as an open door," wrote Sun. Representatives of Trump's sons' platform refuted the TRON founder's words, calling the criticism "unfounded" and threatening him with legal action. Does anyone still believe @justinsuntron ?Justin’s favorite move is playing the victim while making baseless allegations to cover up his own misconduct.Same playbook, different target.

We have the evidence. We have the truth. See you in court, buddy," the message reads. The discussion flared amid criticism of WLFI from the community. Recently, it was revealed that the platform used its own governance tokens as collateral for loans. Analysts described the model as "circular financing": a loan is secured by an asset that the borrower itself controls. The transaction was conducted through the DeFi protocol Dolomite, co-founded by World Liberty Financial advisor Corey Kaplan. On-chain Data Analysis An expert under the pseudonym banteg studied on-chain data and concluded that the WLFI token deployed in 2024 initially lacked a blacklist function. However, the contract was upgradable. justin sun vs wlfithe original token deployed sep 2024 had no blacklist and no seizure, but it was upgradable. the blacklist was added in v2 on aug 24, 2025. 11 months after sun invested and one week before trading opened. on nov 19, 2025, another upgrade added batch…— banteg (@banteg) April 12, 2026 The ability to block addresses appeared in version v2 in August 2025 — 11 months after Sun's investment and a week before trading opened. In November of the same year, developers added the ability for batch redistribution (essentially confiscation), explaining it as "rescuing funds from phishing." The analyst also noted the flexible architecture of the WLFI vesting contract. The mechanism allows setting exact dates for the first withdrawal, configuring linear distribution, and splitting asset issuance into several stages (up to eight) for different investor groups. However, the project did not restrict Sun with these mechanisms. He received 20% immediately at launch, and was then penalized for using part of this amount (the entrepreneur denied this). The remaining 80% of tokens have no unlocking schedule. More than seven months later, they still cannot be withdrawn. The vesting contract allocated a separate "category 3" for the TRON founder — he is the sole user in it. The other 519 investors are in "category 1." Fourteen minutes before Sun's wallet activation, the WLFI multisig set "category 3" so that 20% of his 3 billion tokens became freely transferable from the start of trading. Upon gaining access to the assets, the entrepreneur transferred 55 million coins over three days, after which one of the controlling addresses blacklisted him. The same multisig uses 5 billion WLFI as collateral on Dolomite to attract $250 million in stablecoins. "I urge World Liberty Financial to publicly disclose who controls the sole EOA wallet and the 3 out of 5 multisig managing the WLFI smart contract," stated Sun. According to Bubblemaps, since September, the value of the TRON founder's frozen coins has already decreased by $80 million. UPDATE: 🚨 Justin Sun’s locked $WLFI are down $80,000,000WLFI is down another -10% after the team used their own token as collateral to borrow $50M+ in stables, emptying the lending pool https://t.co/PQkrobP3TZ pic.twitter.com/FVdBKPdUPl— Bubblemaps (@bubblemaps) April 10, 2026 Back in November 2024, Sun purchased 2 billion WLFI for $30 million, becoming the project's largest investor.

Richardson listed examples:  record growth in stablecoin capitalization;  Bitcoin ETF by Morgan Stanley; launch of Schwab Crypto platform in the first half of 2026; Franklin Templeton's crypto division; mortgage loans backed by digital gold from Fannie Mae. "In 2018 and 2022, institutions exited alongside retail. This time they stayed and became more active," he noted. MN Fund founder Michaël van de Poppe supported Richardson's view. According to him, private investors are no longer interested in cryptocurrencies.  It's super clear that retail isn't interested in #Crypto.Almost everyone has a hard time paying their bills on a monthly basis.And then spending that amount of money in such a volatile asset?Hell no.That's why this cycle won't be the retail cycle.

That's why the current cycle is not retail but institutional, and it will last longer," the analyst stated.  Earlier in April, the activity of small bitcoin investors dropped to its lowest level since 2017.

Financial regulators in the United Kingdom are holding urgent discussions with a government cybersecurity agency and major banks. The parties are assessing the risks associated with Anthropic's new AI model, reports FT. Representatives from the Bank of England, the Financial Conduct Authority, and the Treasury are in talks with the National Cyber Security Centre. Together, they plan to examine potential vulnerabilities in critical IT systems that the neural network has identified. The publication notes that in the next two weeks, major financial institutions, insurance companies, and exchanges will receive information on cybersecurity risks related to Claude Mythos. AI-Induced Fears The new neural network proved so powerful that its creators decided against a public release. Instead, Project Glasswing was launched—a controlled environment testing initiative involving AWS, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorgan Chase, Linux Foundation, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Palo Alto Networks. Concerns arose because, in just a few weeks, Mythos discovered thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities in major operating systems and web browsers. The scale of the potential threat prompted U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to convene an emergency meeting with Wall Street leaders. Officials warned top executives, including Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, that the launch of Mythos marks a new era in cybersecurity. The Bank of Canada and the country's major financial institutions also held a meeting to "assess systemic risks associated with the emergence of such an advanced AI model." The initiative aims to "enhance the operational resilience of the country's critical financial sector." Hype Inflation? TechCrunch noted that limiting access to Mythos might be a marketing strategy to draw attention to the new AI model. In March, Dan Lahav, head of the AI startup Irregular, emphasized that while automated vulnerability detection plays an important role, the real benefit of a discovered breach for hackers depends on many factors. Anthropic claims that Mythos can exploit breaches much more broadly compared to Opus. However, it remains unclear whether this LLM is indeed the ideal solution for cybersecurity. Startup Aisle reported that it was able to replicate most of Mythos's achievements using other neural networks. According to the firm's representatives, there is no single model for cybersecurity—the choice of tool always depends on the specific task. One reason leading AI labs may intentionally limit releases is the opportunity to secure exclusive contracts with large enterprises, while simultaneously making it difficult for competitors to copy tools through distillation. "It's a marketing ploy designed to hide the fact that top models are now only available through corporate agreements and are no longer provided to smaller labs for testing," noted exe.dev CEO David Crawshaw. He added that when Mythos becomes available to all, a new advanced LLM will emerge on the market exclusively for corporate clients. This approach allows for a steady flow of funds and limits companies engaged in algorithm distillation. Anthropic at the Forefront In recent months, the startup Anthropic has significantly expanded its audience. The company's solutions are in high demand, and revenue is growing exponentially. TechCrunch journalists reported that at the recent HumanX AI conference in San Francisco, thousands of AI specialists discussed the technology's capabilities, with Claude frequently mentioned as one of the best products on the market. Anthropic was mentioned in many panel sessions. Meanwhile, ChatGPT was hardly discussed. One expert noted that OpenAI "has fallen out of the game." Many conference participants emphasized that Sam Altman's company has lost a clear development direction. Fuel was added to the fire by a recent article about the startup's head—describing him as a dictator and deceiver who abandoned the original noble mission. Too Soon to Count Out OpenAI A recent analysis of the financial performance of OpenAI and Anthropic revealed that both companies are "the fastest-growing enterprises in history." In this context, the "fall" of Altman's brainchild merely indicates that it is no longer the undisputed leader. The firm has gained competitors—this is normal for most industries, noted TechCrunch. OpenAI clearly does not intend to lose its dominant position. The company announced a new $100 subscription plan that provides broader access to the programming tool Codex. In April, Anthropic released an environment for running complex and long-term agent tasks—Claude Managed Agents.

There’s been another reshuffling connected to the fallout from the FTX collapse, and it’s coming from a familiar name. On-chain data also shows that Alameda Research unstaked and transferred around $16 million worth of Solana. At first, it might seem like a routine transfer. But when you zoom in it links to a far broader story, one that is still developing. Money Transferred for Distribution to Creditors The unstaked funds were not sent at random. It was then sent to a wallet associated with distributions to creditors, which is part of the ongoing repayment process related to the collapse of The post Alameda Unstakes $16M Of Solana As Payment Process Continues After FTX Crash appeared first on The Merkle News.
