1. OpenAI AI agent unauthorized access to Australian health portal: An OpenAI AI agent accessed non-public sections of Australia’s Medicare statistics reporting portal and three other government sites on June 18 while researching public health data. OpenAI notified authorities on September 10 after discovering the activity in August; no personal patient records were accessed. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the delay and method of notification unacceptable and ordered an investigation. (NYTimes)
2. Bitget crypto exchange $351.6 million hack: Crypto exchange Bitget detected unauthorized transfers totaling approximately $351.6 million from hot and warm wallets on September 24. CEO Gracy Chen stated the attackers compromised a backend system to spoof transfers; private keys were not compromised. The company said its User Protection Fund exceeds $464 million and covers the loss; withdrawals were suspended. (CoinDesk)
3. Lightning Labs discloses critical bug in Lightning Terminal: Lightning Labs disclosed a critical bug in older versions of Lightning Terminal that could mark canceled Bitcoin payment invoices as paid, potentially allowing free product delivery without funds received.

1. Tech leaders to UN: For the sake of humanity, please control the AI technology we created: The heads of major artificial intelligence firms pleaded with the United Nations on Wednesday to save the world or at least its people — by somehow regulating the fast-expanding technology that they have been designing. Both said the countries of the world, through the U.N. Security Council, where they testified Wednesday, have to set safeguards of some kind to prevent the technology from getting too powerful to rein in. (AP)

1. Researchers Publish 'Zcash-Style' Design for Private Bitcoin Transfers: Researchers at Bitcoin cryptography developer [[alloc] init] have published a design for "ZCash-style" private transfers that would hide the sender, recipient and amount of a payment while running on the existing Bitcoin network. Value in Shielded Bitcoin is held as encrypted "notes," and each transfer carries a zero-knowledge proof that the sender controls the notes being spent and that inputs and outputs balance. A public marker called a nullifier lets software reject double spends without revealing which note was used. (Decrypt)

1. Brooklyn Man Sentenced to 12 Years for $16M Coinbase Phishing Scam: A scammer who went by the online name “lolimfeelingevil” will face 12 years in prison after pleading guilty for playing his part in stealing $16 million in crypto from Coinbase users. Ronald Spektor, 23, from Brooklyn, New York, posed as a representative from America’s biggest crypto exchange and told victims their accounts were under threat from hackers. He then socially engineered them to move their cryptocurrency into what they believed was a secure new wallet. Spektor pleaded guilty on September 2 to all 31 counts, including first-degree money laundering and grand larceny. (BitcoinMag)

1. US Aims to Turn Stablecoins Into a Weapon for Dollar Dominance: The Trump administration is reportedly weighing joint ventures with private firms to push dollar-pegged stablecoins into foreign markets. The effort could involve the Treasury Department, the State Department, and the U.S. International Development Finance Corp. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has made that pitch explicitly before, framing stablecoins as a tool that locks in dollar supremacy rather than a threat to it. (Decrypt)
-Institutional Concerns-
1. Bitcoin Traders Brace for $15B Options Expiry as Bulls Eye $100,000: Roughly $15 billion in options contracts are set to expire on Friday in the market’s quarterly settlement. And traders appear to be leaning bullish heading into Friday. Past expiries have sometimes been followed by sharp price moves in either direction. (BitcoinMag)
2. BTC goes back into accumulation wallets: BTC accumulation gained speed in September, as whales made more spot purchases and withdrew BTC from Binance. Orders on Binance shifted to big whales in September. Shrimp and shark wallets expanded their holdings, with 25,000 shrimp wallets created in a single day. Moving BTC to self-custody wallets is also a response to growing geopolitical uncertainty. (CryptoPolitan)
-Economic Indicators-
1. Treasury Yields Edge Lower But Remain at Multi-Year Highs: The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note fell to 5.17% on Friday, following a sharp sell-off over the previous three sessions that pushed the benchmark yield up 23bps to around 5.20%. (TradingEconomics)

2. Ethiopia and Tigray accuse each of launching offensives, fuelling fears of new war: Ethiopia's government and the party in control of the northern region of Tigray have accused each other of launching offensives, escalating fears of a return to full-scale conflict. Tigrayan fighters had taken control of federally administered airports in Tigray and launched offensives in neighbouring Afar and Amhara regions. The recent war was one of the most deadly conflicts this century - the African Union's mediator estimated some 600,000 people died as the fighting drove the region to the precipice of famine. (BBC)

(NYTimes)
2. 5 Indianapolis officers charged with misuse of Flock cameras: IMPD has announced that five officers have been charged after allegations that they misused Flock cameras to track romantic partners, spouses and random citizens.

1. Why surging US real yields are quietly forcing Bitcoin under $84,000: Bitcoin registered an intraday low at $83,500 on Sept. 23, the same day the US 10-year Treasury yield closed at 5.11%, up 15 basis points in a single session. Investors demanded a higher inflation-adjusted return on government debt, which raises the opportunity cost of holding Bitcoin, an asset that pays no yield of its own. (CryptoSlate)
-Institutional Concerns-
1. Borrow Against Your Bitcoin at a Fixed Rate: Coinbase Expands Morpho Loans: The product lets users lock in their rate and repayment date when borrowing USDC against Bitcoin, marking the first enterprise-scale deployment of Morpho Midnight and a shift away from on-chain lending's variable-rate norm. (Decrypt)
2. Circle National Trust enhances Bitcoin programmability with custody services: Circle now has a federally chartered national trust bank, and it wants to make your Bitcoin do more than sit in a wallet appreciating. For every cirBTC in circulation, there’s a corresponding BTC locked up under the bank’s custody. The segregated, bankruptcy-remote account structure means that if Circle the company were to face financial trouble, the Bitcoin held in custody should theoretically be protected from creditors. (CryptoBriefing)
-Economic Indicators-
1. Treasury Yields Continue to Rise to Multi-Year Highs: The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note extended its rise for a third consecutive session, reaching 5.14%, its highest level since July 2007 and the 30-year yield climbed above 5.44%, its highest since 2004. (TradingEconomics)
2. U.S.–China Trade Truce Extended to January 10: Washington confirmed the U.S.–China trade truce will run until January 10, 2027, extending tariff relief and rare-earth flows beyond the November expiry. (TradingEconomics)
3. US Stocks Fall: US stock indices closed lower on Wednesday as strong economic data, a weak Treasury auction, and energy-driven inflation concerns pushed Treasury yields to multi-decade highs. The S&P 500 fell 0.7%, the Dow shed 351 points, and the Nasdaq 100 retreated 0.8% from its record high. (TradingEconomics)
4. US Services Activity Surge to 5-Year High: The S&P Global US Services PMI rose to 58.7 in September of 2026 from 56.5 in the previous month, well above the market consensus of 56 to reflect the strongest expansion in services activity in over five years. (TradingEconomics)

No Bitcoin Payments in Russia — But the Digital Ruble Is Open for Business: While bitcoin is banned for making payments in Russia, the government is keen on one type of digital money: its own central bank digital currency. The digital ruble has been available for transactions in the country since September 1.

1. Inside Coinbase’s $250 Billion Playbook for Post-Quantum Bitcoin Custody: Coinbase is developing post-quantum custody safeguards to support a wide range of signature schemes. Traditional Multi-Party Computation (MPC) relies on split keys, but many post-quantum signature schemes may be “non-MPC-friendly.” Coinbase is exploring a fallback architecture that combines post-quantum threshold decryption with programmable Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). Safeguarding roughly $250 billion in assets on behalf of institutions such as BlackRock, Coinbase has spent years refining associated procedures. (Decrypt)
