forklog.media Chainalysis Uncovers $100 Million Gray Market for Peptides

Disclaimer ForkLog is categorically against drugs and does not promote their sale or purchase. All materials are provided for informational purposes only. Chainalysis analysts have recorded an explosive growth in the turnover of the gray market for peptides. According to a report, the annual volume of on-chain payments in this sector has exceeded $100 million. Experts noted that in the first quarter of 2026 alone, the inflow of funds jumped by 159% — from $12 million to $32 million. Forecasts suggest that in the second quarter, the figure will reach $39 million. Source: Chainalysis. Analysts attribute the growing popularity of these substances to the shortage and high cost of official weight-loss drugs (like Ozempic). Due to banking restrictions on the sale of non-prescription compounds, the industry has almost entirely shifted to using Bitcoin and stablecoins. TikTok and the 'Looksmaxxing' Ideology Specialists identified three stages of market development. Until 2025, it remained niche with an average inflow of about $200,000 per month. This was followed by a surge of interest amid political events in the US — particularly, Robert Kennedy Jr.'s promotion of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) initiative. However, the key catalyst came at the end of 2025, when the topic of peptides went viral on TikTok within the 'looksmaxxing' subculture (the pursuit of radical appearance improvement). Source: Chainalysis. Against this backdrop, average monthly revenues for sellers rose to $9.9 million. According to the report, influencers actively promote Chinese suppliers, ignoring the risks of side effects. Meanwhile, minors are increasingly found in communities and Discord channels, seeking ways to bypass KYC to purchase substances. Decline in Safety Controls As an indicator of buyer behavior, Chainalysis cited data from Janoshik laboratory (Czech Republic), which specializes in testing the chemical purity of substances. Since 2023, wallets associated with it have received over $12 million in cryptocurrency. Source: Chainalysis. Despite the overall revenue growth of the laboratory, average spending on substance testing per buyer fell by 88% — to $8. Consumers increasingly trust certificates published by sellers themselves. Analysts warned: such documents often confirm the purity of the substance but not its sterility, which is deadly dangerous for injections. Source: Chainalysis. Links to Drug Cartels Chainalysis found that several major peptide suppliers are Chinese chemical companies that previously supplied drug cartels with precursors for fentanyl and amphetamine. Under regulatory pressure, they shifted to a less legally risky but more profitable D2C format. The report mentions two companies: Shanghai Sigma Audley: previously identified as a supplier of fentanyl precursors, including for darknet marketplaces. In 2025, the company began selling 'cosmetic' peptides on Reddit, using the same contact phone number as in ads for drug raw materials; Bigreat Technology: a supplier of reagents for synthetic drugs focusing on the Russian and Kazakh markets. Under the pseudonym Zhengzhou DEPU Technology, the firm switched to retailing weight-loss substances for cryptocurrency. Source: Chainalysis. Analysts emphasized that blockchain transparency allows tracking such transformations of illegal supply chains in real-time. Between 2020 and 2025, the volume of money laundering through cryptocurrencies increased from $10 billion to $82 billion.

forklog.media Institutional Investors Offload 52,500 BTC via ETFs

In the first quarter of 2026, institutional investors filing 13F forms reduced their positions in US spot Bitcoin ETFs by 17%, according to a report by CoinShares. The total assets under management by professional participants decreased from 313,000 BTC to 261,000 BTC. In monetary terms, the value of positions fell by 35% to $17.8 billion. The share of 13F investors in the total volume of Bitcoin ETFs dropped from 24.7% to 20.8%. Source: CoinShares. Analysts noted that this trend coincided with a market correction: during the reporting period, the price of the leading cryptocurrency fell by 22%, reaching $68,000. In February, prices briefly dipped below $60,000, marking nearly a 50% drop from the all-time high of $126,000 recorded in October 2025. The majority of sales were driven by hedge funds and brokerage firms, accounting for 96% of the net outflow. Hedge funds reduced their positions by 31,400 BTC (−39%), while brokerage firms cut back by 18,800 BTC (−53%). Notably, Jane Street reduced its holdings by 10,800 BTC, and Morgan Stanley completely closed its position of 8,300 BTC, which analysts linked to the launch of its own MSBT fund. Source: CoinShares. Investment advisors, remaining the largest group of holders (150,300 BTC), showed resilience, reducing positions by only 5.9%. Bank positions increased by 7,800 BTC, exceeding 15,200 BTC: JPMorgan Chase added 3,000 BTC; Wells Fargo increased its position by 4,000 BTC; Citigroup disclosed ownership of 97 BTC for the first time. "The data aligns with historical market behavior during downturns. Short-term leveraged strategies unwind, and supply redistributes from impulsive players to long-term holders: advisors, banks, and sovereign funds," explained CoinShares analyst Matt Kimmell. Among government entities, the Mubadala fund from Abu Dhabi stands out, having acquired 1,100 BTC. Meanwhile, endowments reduced investments by 40%, primarily due to Harvard University's sale of 1,300 BTC. As reported, from May 25 to 29, outflows from digital asset-based investment products amounted to $1.67 billion.

forklog.media OQC, JPMorgan, and AMD to Launch Quantum AI Research Data Center

OQC, JPMorganChase, and AMD announced the launch of a research partnership program in London based at a dedicated Quantum-AI data center. The facility will be used to explore quantum and hybrid computing within financial sector tasks. The platform will integrate the OQC GENESIS quantum system with AMD's infrastructure for AI and classical computing. The ecosystem will serve as a tool for simulation, optimization, language model development, and benchmarking. The partners aim to test quantum approaches for optimizing financial portfolios. A separate focus will be the development of specialized AI models designed to enhance the performance of quantum circuits. The parties also plan to investigate whether quantum-enhanced LLM can accelerate the discovery of new algorithms for financial tasks, and what role classical computing will play in creating scalable, fault-tolerant quantum algorithms. OQC CEO Gerald Mullally emphasized the need to move from "isolated experiments" to secure computing environments for corporate clients. AMD CTO Mark Papermaster highlighted that progress at the intersection of quantum computing and AI requires tightly integrated platforms with quantum systems, AI infrastructure, and HPC. In June, Japanese holding Hamamatsu Photonics, its subsidiary NKT Photonics, and startup Yaqumo signed a memorandum of understanding for the joint development and commercialization of photonic systems intended for cold atom quantum computers.

forklog.media The Bitcoin Hayek Didn’t Ask For

In 1999, economist Milton Friedman — a Nobel laureate and the leading voice of monetarism — described something that didn’t yet exist. In an interview he suggested the internet lacked only reliable electronic cash that would let one person send money to another without revealing their identities. Ten years later, an anonymous developer using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto launched Bitcoin — a peer-to-peer system that did exactly that. The monetarist was right. The irony is that Friedman was about the last person the industry expected to seed such an idea. He’s remembered as a defender of a central bank, albeit one bound by a strict monetary rule. The community instead cast another economist — his intellectual opponent, the Austrian Friedrich Hayek — as Bitcoin’s ideological father. That’s the first crack in crypto’s usual genealogy. Digital money had several prophets — and they disagreed with one another. A Common Denominator What made Hayek a convenient figurehead? In 1976 he published Denationalisation of Money (in Russian, “Private Money”). The thesis was radical: the state’s monopoly on issuance is harmful; the right to issue money should be given to the market. Let private issuers compete, and let people choose the currency they trust. Friedrich August von Hayek. Source: Wikimedia.  Digital gold seems to answer that thesis: no central bank, issuance set by code rather than a bureaucrat’s will, a ledger that’s open and auditable. In a blog post by Colin Wu, Bitcoin is described as a technological “trustless order” — a system where mathematics and protocol replace the intermediary. At this level, Hayek and Satoshi are saying the same thing: money doesn’t need the state; rules that can’t be broken are enough. It’s tempting to stop there — the first cryptocurrency as the Austrian’s dream come true. But open the book, and the construction starts to fall apart. A 1970s Foundation, With Caveats The industry likes to trace Bitcoin’s intellectual roots to the mid-1970s — as if the key breakthroughs all happened then. Part of that picture is true; part is a convenient fit. Cryptography did have a 1976 breakthrough. Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman published “New Directions in Cryptography” and introduced public-key cryptography: the public key is shared freely, only the private key remains secret.  Later it emerged that the same solution had been presented in the early 1970s at Britain’s GCHQ by James Ellis, Clifford Cocks and Malcolm Williamson — but their work remained classified. In other words, the foundations of future “anti-state money” were first laid by government cryptographers. The theory of distributed systems doesn’t fit the mid-’70s: the Byzantine Generals problem was formulated by Leslie Lamport and coauthors only in 1982. Their work is essential for digital gold — but not for this chronology. It’s also telling whom Satoshi actually cited. The Bitcoin white paper bibliography lists neither Hayek, nor Diffie, nor Lamport. But Stuart Haber and Scott Stornetta appear as coauthors on three of eight sources — their hash-chain timestamping system is a direct prototype of a blockchain.  The industry tells one lineage; Satoshi’s footnotes point to another. Infographic: ForkLog. Stability vs. Scarcity Open “Private Money” and the first contradiction appears immediately. The Austrian didn’t call for fixing the money stock — he wanted the opposite: the issuer should actively manage supply to keep purchasing power stable. For Hayek, competition is won not by the rarest currency but by the most stable — depreciation hurts creditors, appreciation hurts debtors, and people choose the instrument with predictable purchasing power. Bitcoin is built the other way around. Its issuance is set once and for all: 21 million coins, the block subsidy halves every four years, and issuance eventually stops (around 2140). Halving calendar. Source: Bitbo. Satoshi in the white paper explicitly compared this to gold mining, and called the end state “free of inflation.” There’s no manager to align supply with demand. There’s a rigid schedule — and a price that absorbs all demand swings. The result is volatility — which the Austrian saw as a sign of bad money. In Bitcoin’s early days it was extreme — the rate could soar and plunge by tens of percent within weeks. In recent years the amplitude has eased notably: by 2025, volatility fell roughly in half versus 2021 and was lower than in some “Magnificent Seven” stocks such as Tesla and Nvidia.  Historical Bitcoin volatility vs. Tesla and Nvidia, % annualized. Source: Charles Schwab.  But even reduced swings are incompatible with the ideal of money so steady you don’t have to think about it. For the Austrian school, money’s key function is everyday exchange. From that perspective, Bitcoin should have lost the competition rather than led the market. What the industry hails as “digital gold” is, in this frame, more a diagnosis. And that concept isn’t Hayek’s. Its foundation is scarcity, not stability.  In 2005 Nick Szabo described Bit Gold — an asset whose value rests on “unforgeable costliness”: creating a coin requires real computation, and that work can’t be faked.  Szabo took the cost mechanism from Adam Back: his 1997 Hashcash forced an email sender to burn CPU time so spam would be uneconomic. Satoshi combined those parts and produced money secured not by an issuer’s promise but by expended energy. The scheme works — but it’s the architecture of “gold,” not the managed currencies the Austrian described. He saw a flaw in precious metals: their supply can’t be flexibly tuned to the economy’s demand for money. The paradox runs deeper. The hard rule is closer not to the Austrian school but to its foil. Milton Friedman proposed “chaining” the central bank to a fixed rule — grow the money stock at a steady 3–5% a year, regardless of the business cycle. Portrait of Milton Friedman. Source: Wikimedia.  Bitcoin took that idea to the extreme: there is a rule — no improvisation, and no manager either. On monetary policy, it’s closer to Friedman. The difference is that the monetarist wanted to keep a central bank, while code abolished it altogether. Bitcoin advocates will counter: a fixed cap is “sound money,” protection against inflationary arbitrariness — the Austrian dream. Economist Saifedean Ammous developed that argument: in his “hard money” framework, Bitcoin even surpasses gold because its supply can’t rise with demand.  There’s some truth here — Hayek and Satoshi agree in rejecting the state monopoly. But they diverge on means: the Austrian fought inflation through stability; Bitcoin through scarcity. And scarcity delivers not constancy, but volatility.  Hayek sought money you don’t notice because its value doesn’t change. Digital gold became an asset whose price is all anyone talks about. Pluralism vs. Monopoly The second contradiction is obvious: the Austrian wanted many competing currencies; the industry ended up with one dominant. By May 2026, Bitcoin accounts for about 57% of the entire digital-asset market — down from the June 2025 peak of 65%, but still the system’s anchor. It looks like a new monopoly, private rather than state. But the charge is weaker than it seems. Hayek didn’t insist on endless variety. In the 1978 updated edition of “Private Money,” he allowed that competition would narrow the field to one or two stable standards — the leader is chosen by the market, not decree. A small set of issuers didn’t frighten him. The issue isn’t that the market chose one leader, but which one. Hayek expected the most stable currency to prevail. The winner is an asset valued for the opposite — for appreciation and scarcity, not stability. It settled into the role of “digital gold” and a speculative bet, ceding everyday money. In practice, Hayek’s scenario did materialize — but outside Bitcoin’s ecosystem. The market did pick stable private money for payments: these are stablecoins like USDT and USDC.  By 2026 their combined market capitalization exceeded $316 billion, and by value transferred, “stable coins” have long surpassed the first cryptocurrency. Private issuer, competition for stability — almost verbatim Hayek. 30-day value transferred in stablecoins reached $3.7 trillion. Source: Artemis. Monthly Bitcoin value transferred. Source: The Block.  Almost — because a stablecoin’s steadiness rests on its peg to the dollar. That is, to the money of the very state whose monopoly the Austrian sought to abolish. The market replicated his mechanism and inverted the meaning: the industry’s most “Hayekian” money is secured not by rejecting the central bank, but by its liabilities. And neither outcome delivered a clean Austrian victory. Bitcoin conquered the market at the price of the very instability Hayek saw as a vice. Stablecoins brought stability, but borrowed it from the dollar. Money free of the state and chosen for its steadiness remains a thought experiment. Anonymity Isn’t Hayek Bitcoin’s genealogy holds two different ideas of freedom, and Hayek accounts for only one. The Austrian was concerned with money’s independence from the state, not the payer’s anonymity. The right to be unseen came from another source — the cypherpunks. The path to anonymous payments was opened by David Chaum. As early as 1982, he proposed the “blind signature” — mathematics that allows a bank to validate a coin without seeing its denomination or owner. From it Chaum built DigiCash — the first attempt to make untraceable electronic cash. The aim was precisely confidentiality: money that leaves no traces. The company went bankrupt in 1998. Anonymous money was ahead of its time and demand, but it failed commercially. The idea remained. Timothy May made it into an ideology. His 1988 “Crypto Anarchist Manifesto” carried an explicit an ironic reference to the Communist Manifesto — and the thesis wasn’t the Hayekian “let the market issue money,” but “let cryptography blind the state.” Anonymous transactions, markets beyond government control, reputation instead of a passport — that was his horizon. Hal Finney built the bridge to Bitcoin. In 2004 he assembled RPOW — a system of reusable proofs of work, a direct predecessor of mining; Satoshi sent him the first-ever bitcoin transaction. Finney tied together cypherpunk privacy, the Proof-of-Work line, and the network’s launch. Then comes the central irony. Bitcoin, celebrated as a cypherpunk victory, violated their core value. Chaum engineered untraceability — the first cryptocurrency is the opposite: every transaction is visible to everyone, forever. Satoshi acknowledged this in the Privacy section of the white paper: protection here rests only on the public key not being tied to a name. That’s pseudonymity, not anonymity. In essence, Bitcoin is the most transparent money in history — the opposite of Chaum’s design. Tellingly, May himself was disillusioned. Shortly before his death in 2018 he remarked: exchanges with passport checks, KYC requirements and frozen accounts are hardly what Satoshi intended. The prophet of crypto-anarchy didn’t recognize his idea in what the industry became. Thus “digital freedom” turns out to be a collage of incompatible parts: for Hayek it meant money independent of the state; for Chaum and May, people invisible to it. They were fused into one myth, but Bitcoin didn’t fully deliver on either promise: it became neither the Austrian’s stable money nor the cypherpunks’ untraceable cash. The slogans aligned — the substance diverged. Debate, Not Fulfillment So what remains of the lineage Bitcoin is routinely assigned? The common denominator is real. Hayek, Chaum, May and Friedman — for all their differences — aimed at one thing: to remove money from the state’s exclusive control. Bitcoin inherited that frame, which is why it’s so easily cast as each of their heirs. Beyond that, the overlap ends. The Austrian wanted a stable currency managed by a live issuer — Bitcoin delivered a hard cap and volatility. Hayek expected the most reliable money to win — a speculative asset won. Chaum and May built untraceable cash — the first cryptocurrency made the ledger public. Each would recognize a trait of his own and reject the whole. Infographic: ForkLog. That’s the paradox. Bitcoin prevailed not because it executed someone’s program, but because it didn’t fully execute any. It took from Hayek distrust of the state, from the Chicago School a hard rule, from the cypherpunks cryptography, and assembled from those parts something none of them designed. Friedman’s 1999 prediction came almost verbatim true: reliable electronic cash for peer-to-peer transfers arrived a decade later. But the result matched none of the thinkers’ blueprints — neither the monetarist’s managed money with a preserved central bank, nor the Austrian’s stable private currency, nor the cypherpunks’ anonymous cash. They guessed the future, but it wasn’t built to anyone’s plan. And perhaps that’s the strength. The first cryptocurrency rests not on anyone’s convictions, but on rules anyone can verify. Whether the Austrian, the monetarist or the cypherpunks would see their dream in it is irrelevant to the network’s operation. The Bitcoin Hayek didn’t ask for doesn’t need his approval.

forklog.media Anthropic Warns of AI Self-Improvement Risks

Members of the Anthropic team are increasingly delegating a significant portion of new model development to AI systems. The company identified this as a sign of approaching recursive self-improvement. According to internal data, more than 80% of the code for the company's current products was written by Claude. In the second quarter, the amount of code per engineer increased eightfold compared to 2024. Source: Anthropic Institute. Marina Favaro, head of the Anthropic Institute, and company co-founder Jack Clark wrote that with sufficient computing power, this trend could lead to a system capable of "designing and developing its successor entirely autonomously." "We have not yet reached the point of no return, and recursive self-improvement is not inevitable. But it may occur sooner than most institutions are prepared for," the experts emphasized. Benchmarks and Metrics In April, Claude completed over 800 corrections — according to the supervising engineer, it would have taken a human four years to accomplish this. In open tasks, the share of successful sessions by Claude increased to 76% in May 2026 — a 50 percentage point rise over six months. Source: Anthropic Institute. Anthropic stated that the duration of tasks that AI can reliably perform independently doubles approximately every four months (compared to the previous seven). In a task to accelerate the training of a small AI model, Claude Opus 4 in May 2025 provided an average speed increase of about three times, while Mythos Preview in April 2026 achieved approximately a 52-fold increase. Source: Anthropic Institute. During internal tests, the Mythos Preview model demonstrated the ability to solve research tasks in AI safety. Over 800 hours, a group of agents closed 97% of the problem gap in an experiment, while two human researchers managed only 23% of the volume in a week. New Bottlenecks Despite successes in code writing, humans still hold an advantage in "research judgment" and setting strategic goals. Anthropic believes that in the near future, the role of developers will shift from writing lines of code to deeply reviewing the results of neural network work.
