AI lowers barrier to hacking, crypto industry urges opening latest models to bitcoin developers
The cryptocurrency industry has urged AI companies to expand early access to cutting-edge AI models for bitcoin developers and security staff defending open-source financial infrastructure. A public letter said defenders often cannot access AI labs’ cybersecurity programs and face guardrails on top public models, forcing reliance on lower-performing open-weight models. Signatories called for standing access programmes. The letter cited rising losses and warned vulnerabilities could threaten personal lifetime savings.

Silent failures at scale could become AI risks that shake companies
As AI systems take on tasks such as transaction approvals, coding, customer support and data transfers, companies are seeing more cases where systems behave in unexpected ways. Experts say failures can occur quietly, making problems slow to detect, and that complex systems are hard to understand or quickly halt. They add that risks cannot be eliminated and call for stronger operational controls, supervision mechanisms and kill switches able to stop networks, not just apps.

Ethereum mainnet transactions surge but not real users
Ethereum\'s main network has recently recorded record-high activity, but an analysis said serious security problems lie behind the numbers rather than an expanding user base. Daily active addresses hit 1.2 million as of Jan. 16 and transactions reached about 2.8 million. An independent crypto journalist said automated spam contracts inflated activity by distributing sub-$1 stablecoins to millions of addresses, with losses estimated at about $740,000.
